When planning a home that is comfortable for living, the services of an architect may be required. But such help is worth it. We will tell you how to create your own house plan with dimensions, having basic working skills with PC programs online.
You can save money and time, and also take into account the wishes of all family members. You can also find free ready-made drawings and diagrams for planning country cottages.
Who is it suitable for?
An open plan is suitable for those who:
- Can't find the layout of my dreams. The choice of standard options is limited: if none of them suits you, you can always make your own zoning.
- Not afraid of expensive repairs. You will have to pay for materials, services of a design bureau, and a construction team.
- Ready to wait for the move. Open plans in new buildings are sold without finishing, so if you need a “move in and live” apartment, this is not the option.
In general, an open plan is about creativity, flights of fancy, and the embodiment of original ideas in the interior. Is this about you? Feel free to choose this type of home!

Selecting a bulldozer
The choice of bulldozer for site planning must be based on the project. There is no point in purchasing a bulldozer for one-time site planning. It is much more profitable to use a bulldozer rental service. You can find similar offers in every city. When choosing a bulldozer, you should not always choose the most powerful one. Excessive engine power will entail unreasonable expenses, and large dimensions will complicate maneuvers.
At the same time, insufficiently powerful or outdated equipment (T-130 and similar models), due to lower productivity than modern bulldozers, will take longer to complete the job. For this reason, trying to save money by renting cheap equipment is unlikely to be successful.
Rocky and frozen soil must first be loosened; only after this is it possible to work with a conventional blade. In this case, you should opt for a bulldozer equipped with a ripper.
Who is it definitely not suitable for?
Based on the previous section, it is logical to assume that an experienced realtor would never recommend an open-plan apartment to families who need housing here and now. And also for those who do not plan to invest a large amount of effort, time, and money in furnishing their own home.
If there are no high requirements for planning, you can easily find an apartment on the market with walls that will be comfortable to live in - it is better to choose a ready-made option.

How to legitimize?
In order to approve the redevelopment, it is necessary to obtain a floor plan for construction from the developer, and then coordinate further actions with the BTI.
An open plan is approved when it has been verified that all appropriate requirements have been met during the construction work and laying of the walls. Very often, in design documents, developers mark the place where the partition or wall should be located. Residents are forced to pay a fine if a discrepancy is found.
To legitimize the replanning process, you need to make a draft of future changes and write an application for approval. Sometimes there are difficult cases. For example, it is impossible to expand a bathroom or toilet due to the lack of a corridor , and the expansion is carried out only at the expense of non-residential space. This happens if the entire area of the room is designated as one.
Where to go?
- To obtain permission to make changes to the project, you need to contact the administration at the location of the apartment. The permit is issued within 45 days. But the document is valid only for a year; if construction work has not begun during this period, then the order loses force. It is allowed to make only those changes to the project that are specified in the documents.
- Upon completion of the redevelopment, an expert from the BTI is called. An inspection will be carried out, measurements will be taken, and then an acceptance certificate will be issued within 10 days.
- Then the owner receives a new registration certificate for the apartment from the BTI. Changes are made to it, and this takes 30 working days.
- A certificate of ownership can be obtained after registering a cadastral passport at the Department of State Registration of the Cadastre.
Documentation
The following list of documents is required:
- application for redevelopment;
- property documents;
- registration certificate for the apartment;
- expert opinion on the technical side of the planned work;
- redevelopment project in two copies.
The project must be done in a construction company that has the appropriate license.
How to make an application?
The application form can be obtained from the Housing Inspectorate or from , if available in the desired area. It contains the following information:
- Full name of the apartment owner, passport details, phone number and address of the property.
- If a specialized organization is involved in the approval of the redevelopment, the details of the power of attorney are also indicated.
- Next comes the form of ownership.
- The owner undertakes to carry out construction work according to the approved project, this also includes the timing of the work and the condition of the need to accept inspectors from the Housing Inspectorate.
- Written consent of other owners, if any.
On a note! Sometimes additional documents are required. This could be a copy of the floor plan, explanations of the architectural design before redevelopment, or a technical report on the condition of the house. If we are talking about a historical building, then a design for modern use is needed.
When redevelopment affects common property, written consent of at least 2/3 of the home owners must be presented.
Cost and terms of approval
All applications for redevelopment of any premises are certified by employees of the Housing Inspectorate or the Multifunctional Center. After receiving the package of documents, the homeowner is given a receipt for receipt of all necessary papers.
The period for consideration of the application is determined by the redevelopment project. Projects for standard facilities are considered for about 35 days, and individual projects – 20 days.
All actions related to collecting documents and obtaining permission are a long process. It lasts for several months. But, if the project does not comply with the standards established by law, permission may be denied.
Approximate cost of redevelopment:
- creation of a project approximately 15,000 rubles;
- technical report from the BTI not less than 10,000 rubles;
- technical conclusion on the admissibility and safety of the work being carried out RUB 20,000.
The total cost of redevelopment approval depends on the number of institutions that will have to be contacted and, of course, on the planned changes.
For example, sealing and creating openings in load-bearing partitions, increasing the area of the bathroom due to the corridor, moving plumbing fixtures in the bathroom will cost the owner 30,000 rubles. and higher.
Recommendations for arrangement
Regardless of whether you spend money on a designer or think through the layout and decoration of the apartment yourself, take into account the recommendations of specialists.
Study the housing plan
In the layout, we are interested in wet areas that cannot be moved, as well as load-bearing beams that cannot be removed.
Give up the corridors
Passages take up too much space, eating up useful space. Save space - draw a layout without them.
Consider the location of the windows
When the partitions are erected, none of the rooms should be too dark. In addition, the location of the wall is also determined by the position of the window.
Plan special purpose premises
Due to the presence of a dressing room, laundry room, office or creative studio, functionality will only benefit!
Combine everything you can
A large number of blank walls turn even a spacious home into a labyrinth of small rooms. To avoid this, combine spaces (for example, kitchen, living room), and also use partitions made of glass blocks or windows, or curtains instead of brick or concrete in the layout - they look lighter.
Don't forget about the cardinal directions
For example, it is better to make bedrooms with windows facing north: this way the dawn sun will not interfere with your sleep in the morning. For a living room or office, on the contrary, you should leave a bright corner.
Advantages of an open plan
An open plan has some advantages that prove why many residents prefer this type of housing. Among them are the following advantages:
- free actions for the owner;
- the chance for the owner to decide how many living rooms there will be in the apartment;
- the needs of the living family are taken into account, which will make the stay more comfortable and enjoyable;
- free placement of bedrooms in the apartment will give you the chance to feel like a real designer.

Design options
The choice of style depends less on the layout and more on the taste of the owners. However, certain design directions in free space will look best:
Loft. Since the industrial style originated in abandoned industrial buildings, an open, solid room is just about it. If you add high ceilings and large windows to the free planning area, you get the ideal basis for a loft.
Minimalism. The multifunctionality of the main room (kitchen-living room) requires the presence of a large number of things. To avoid visual noise, embody modern minimalism with few accents.

Art Deco. Luxurious finishes and furniture love large areas. Suitable for lovers of discreet classics and exaggerated baroque.
An open-plan apartment can be both a blessing and a punishment: but if you are ready for all the “surprises” and restrictions, then you won’t find better housing!
Optimal area
Private buildings, especially suburban ones, are distinguished by their large space and comfort, and often the same amount of money is spent on their construction as on the purchase of an apartment. Taking into account the wishes of the owners, the budget, the number of family members, the size of the premises, the optimal building area is selected. Most often, each family member is assigned a separate bedroom. The living room is traditionally the most spacious room. There can be one or several bathrooms (for guests). If funding allows, other functional premises are created, starting with offices and garages, ending with billiard rooms, saunas, and baths.
However, most often the budget is strictly predetermined even before construction begins. Therefore, the plan should indicate the optimal number of premises. These rooms should be the most necessary. If you ignore this stage and start construction beyond the budget, the construction may be completed much later or not completed at all.
Placement of houses on the territory
Depending on the configuration, area, location of the plots and their natural topography, the architect chooses different options for placing residential buildings :
For a standard area of up to 10 acres, as a rule, a frontal location of the building with dimensions of up to 7x7 m and the organization of a rear yard space is accepted.- Narrow plots are located towards the rear of the residential building and the courtyard area in front of them.
- Large square areas with dimensions of 30x30 m or more are most comfortable when all buildings are placed at corners.
- Non-standard triangular or polygonal lots suggest a house with a rectangular configuration located along one of the boundaries.
- Plots of round, triangular or square shape, with an area of 16 acres or more, are most convenient with a beautifully designed landscape design with a central location of the main building.
When designing individual projects, which is especially important for polygonal corner areas, customers ask to place the building in the corner of the site, close to the fence along two adjacent boundaries. Such functional zoning provides ample opportunities for organizing improvement areas.
Land Planning Project
A land plot planning project is an official graphic document with a text annex , developed by certified architects of the design organization, which contains the following information:
The boundaries of the land plot, in accordance with the topographic survey.- Red and black elevation marks, taking into account the organization of the relief with the balance of earth masses, the construction of embankments and excavations.
- Placement of construction sites for capital construction projects, taking into account urban planning, fire safety, structural and sanitary-epidemiological standards.
- Zoning of the territory in accordance with the wishes of the customer and existing planning restrictions.
- Each PPT ZU contains a short explanatory note with justifications for the decisions made in the project and a table of TEPs (technical and economic indicators), with calculation of the balance of the territory.
All design solutions carried out by professional architects are regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as SP 30-102-99, mentioned above. In the explanatory note, the architect provides links to these standards.
What does he look like?
In accordance with current legislation, the document has a standard form - the project is drawn up in the form of a finished volume with a title page, explanatory note and graphic materials .
