04 · Development & permitting

From land to first lift, in the right order.

A Greek development is permitted in a defined sequence. Skip a step and the schedule resets. Run them in the right order and the building rises on time.

We sit alongside the architect, project manager and tax adviser through the long permitting sequence of a Greek site. Our work begins before the land is bought and continues until the off-plan units are inscribed in the names of their purchasers.

Most of our development work is on the Athens Riviera and the principal islands, where the convergence of high land value and tight planning produces matters that other firms decline. We do not draw the buildings; we secure the permissions and the contracts that let other people draw them.

The horizontal-property regime — the way a Greek building is legally divided into separate units — is the central document of any off-plan development. We draft it with the eventual purchaser in mind, not the developer's convenience.

What we handle.

  • Pre-acquisition planning analysis
  • Zoning & out-of-plan land assessment
  • Archaeological & forestry clearance liaison
  • Building & environmental permit applications
  • Construction contracts (incl. FIDIC variants)
