Architecture
In Arq+ a real state investment depends on various factors that influence its success or failure and our experience tells us that it starts right at the beginning the importance of the control of the execution cost/deadline binomial.
In this sense, we care in presenting competitive prices and project deadlines of reduced execution maintaining, however, the same quality.
On the other hand, we do not intend that our clients lose time with bureaucracy in unnecessary dislocations to public entities to handle complex documentation that most are unfamiliar with or do not have the patient or are uncomfortable to deal with.
It is equally important to concentrate the tasks; therefore, we have a project manager who will be the sole interlocutor before the client.
Lastly, it is fundamental the reduction of deadlines at official entities, therefore after submission of the license authorization we follow up regularly the process, pressing the authorities aiming to ease the decision making process.
The realization of any urban operation, in relation to determined criteria implies mandatorily the presentation of a license request or authorization at the respective Town Hall, namely when one intends to perform construction work, reconstruction, demolition, expansion, change the buildings as well as its use.

The construction of new building, regardless its nature and its intended use.
It is construction work that results from modifying physical characteristics of an existing building or its fraction, namely the resisting structure, the number of apartments or internal divisions or the nature and material color of external coating, without increasing the total contracted area, implantation area or front height.
Construction work that results in the increasing of the existing area, of the total constructed areas, of the height of the front or of the volume of an existing building.
An intervention aims to provide a compatible performance towards in force demands or constrains applied to any urban operations but “new construction”.
Construction work (refurbish, repair or cleaning) that maintains the existing conditions of a building to the time it was built, reconstructed, expanded or changed.
By this process it is possible to change the use of a building or fraction, with or without construction work, as long as all requirements to the new use are fulfilled.
In this service it is included the topographic survey and all surveys needed to buildings length and height calculation.
Construction work after complete or partial demolition of an existing edification resulting on a reconstruction of the front facade structure;
