Land Acquisition Blueprint: What to Consider Before Building
At Modulex Group, we know that safe and comfortable construction starts with the right land choice. When buying land, it is necessary to pay attention to legislative requirements, potential risks, and architectural norms. Below are the three spatial levels of assessment and the most critical points. 1. MACRO Level: Natural and Geological Risks • Slopes and Seismicity: When building on slopes with an inclination of more than 15 degrees or isolated elevated platforms, the calculated value of soil seismic acceleration is multiplied by a factor of 1.2. 2. MESO Level: Invisible Legal Boundaries Surrounding objects create invisible protective radii within which residential construction is prohibited. • Sanitary Protection Zones: A distance requirement of up to 1000 meters applies to chemical storage facilities, cemeteries, and crematoriums. • Transport Highways: To protect against noise, a buffer zone of 25m to 100m is established. A mandatory 10m wide forest strip along the highway is also required. 3. MICRO Level: Internal Anatomy of the Plot • Red Lines and Distances: The permissible setback from the street is usually 3-5m. A distance of 3m must be maintained from the residential house to the plot boundary , and 1m from economic structures to the boundary. • Density and Landscaping: All impermeable areas of the plot must not exceed 40% of the total area. The remaining 60% must be landscaped. • Environmental Requirements: Completely blind or stone fences are excluded. The presence of waste sorting bins is required. Existing planting must be maximally preserved and soil erosion avoided. Fast-Track Procedure You can use the simplified procedure if: • The plot is 400 sqm or more. • The building is 300 sqm or less (or up to 400 sqm with a maximum of 3 above-ground and 1 underground floor). • The building has no commercial purpose. When to Walk Away from a Deal • Slopes without a clear geological survey. • A plot entirely within the 500m sanitary zone of factories or cemeteries. • Areas where it is impossible to maintain a 60% green surface. • Plots adjacent to highways without the possibility of a 10m forest strip. Smart Investment, Safe Future The right land choice is not just aesthetics. Following the norms guarantees safety and the reliability of the financial investment.

Technical Safety: Your Silent Guardian
Every day we use elevators, escalators, refill our cars at gas stations... but do we ever wonder who guarantees the safety of it all? What is Technical Safety? It is a system designed to prevent man-made disasters and protect human life and property. According to the law, hazardous objects include not only factories but also common elevators, escalators, and even cable cars. The 4 Key Stages of Safety: Design: Construction cannot begin without a safety expertise. Expertise: Independent experts inspect every single detail. Registration: The object is registered in the state registry. Monitoring: Mandatory inspections are conducted at least once a year. Staying informed is the first step toward a safer environment for everyone.

Green Architecture: Armenia’s Future is Being Built Today
The face of Armenia's cities is changing. Green architecture is no longer just a trend, but a real revolution in our construction culture. It is a philosophy where buildings do not fight nature but become a harmonious part of it. What makes a building "green"? Energy Efficiency: Using light shelves and solar tunnels to maximize natural light. Resource Management: Smart water-saving systems. Eco-friendly Materials: Using clean, non-toxic building materials. Landscape Integration: Construction that prevents soil erosion and preserves the natural environment. Armenia is taking firm steps in this direction: since 2022, mandatory energy efficiency assessment standards have been in place. We are striving for the A+ rating, ensuring lower utility bills and a healthy living environment for everyone.

Simplified procedure for building houses in Armenia
Steps required to build an individual residential house up to 300 sqm (Risk Category II) in Armenia:1. Preparation and Site Study Mandatory engineering-geological study to determine the foundation type (based on the seismic zoning map).For sloping terrains, providing retaining walls and drainage systems.Orienting the long facades of the house to the south to maximize the use of solar heat in winter.2. Design and Documentation (Simplified Procedure) Applying to the municipality to obtain an Architectural-Planning Assignment (APZ).Drafting the architectural-construction project.For houses not exceeding 300 sqm, state expertise is not required; the designer's warranty is sufficient.The construction permit is issued simultaneously with the project within a 3-5 day period.3. Construction Organization Site setup: fencing, safety zones, and material storage.Technical supervision of construction quality by a licensed person (or contractor's warranty for Category II risk objects).Maintaining worker safety norms and mandatory installation of fire alarm systems and smoke detectors.Waste management: sorting construction debris (concrete, metal, plastic) and disposal.4. Completion and Documentation Collecting executive acts for hidden works compiled during the construction process.Applying to the municipality to document the completion of construction and obtain a completion act (occupancy permit). Unfinished construction after the permit expiration date can cause issues.Property measurement and state registration at the Cadastre Committee.
