Apartment replanning: where to start

Replanning means changing the layout of rooms within an apartment. Below is a general sequence of steps that helps approach the task systematically.

Back to useful materials
  1. 1

    Gather the documents you have

    Find the apartment's floor plan, technical passport, or inventory file, if you have one. This is the starting point for assessing any replanning.

  2. 2

    Record the current condition of the rooms

    Take photos or, if needed, order measurements — this helps establish exactly what the apartment looks like now.

  3. 3

    Describe the changes you want

    Define exactly what you want to change: moving walls, combining rooms, relocating plumbing fixtures, or something else.

  4. 4

    Check the impact on structures and utilities

    Some changes may affect load-bearing walls, ventilation, water supply, or electrical systems. This determines how complex the replanning will be.

  5. 5

    Determine the required design documentation

    Depending on the scope of changes, a different set of drawings and design sections may be needed.

  6. 6

    Agree on how to proceed

    The final step is understanding which approvals are needed in your specific case, and in what order to move forward.

Not every replanning can be approved — it depends on the specific structures, utilities, and building requirements. A precise answer can only be given after reviewing the property and its documents.
