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.
