What to think about before choosing your chalet plan?
Building your chalet represents a very special real estate project. Indeed, several steps must be followed so that your project can come to fruition. Here we will see the different steps to follow to make your dream a reality.
1. Which land should you choose for your chalet?
Before even contacting us to start your chalet plan, you must have purchased your land. This first step is essential and represents a real foundation for the design of your chalet plan. In fact, it is your land which will serve as the basis for the production of your plans.
Our team will need as much information as possible about your land. Is the location far away or close to services? On the water’s edge or in the mountains? What are the dimensions of your land? What type of ground will your chalet rest on? Etc.
In addition, the choice of your land plays an important role in terms of access to municipal services.
-
Access to an aqueduct, electricity, sewers?
-
Should we plan to build a septic tank?
-
Is there wastewater treatment?
-
Is your land in a flood zone or a landslide risk zone?
-
What are the regulations for ground leveling in relation to topography?
-
Have you thought about solar orientation and the direction of the prevailing winds?
All these questions (among others) can already be of great help to you in choosing the ideal location for your chalet. The more information you have to provide to your referent technologist during your interview, the more you will help speed up the process of getting your chalet plan project underway.
Can I build a chalet on my property?
To ensure the smooth running of your cottage planning project, it's crucial to follow the regulations. It's particularly important to consult your municipality regarding zoning, regulations, and other legal aspects. Here's a non-exhaustive list of things to know before starting your cottage plans:
- What are the building rights in the area (near a lake, in the mountains, in the forest, etc.)?
- Is it possible to build a fence?
- Do you have the possibility of installing a swimming pool?
- Do you have permission for a shelter, garage, etc.?
- What are the rules regarding parking and street access?
- Is it allowed to cut down trees?
- What are the standards for clearing coastal land?
- Can you choose any exterior cladding?
- Is the construction of quays, sleepers, low walls, embankments authorized?
- Are there any regulations on landscaping?
- Are you subject to regulations on erosion and development along the banks?
- What are the regulations regarding energy and ecological integration?
