The ABC's after claiming a house

Select the stage of implementation

Land survey and preparation
Learn the key stages of land preparation that will ensure a safe and durable foundation for a mobile home.

Before placing a mobile home, it is important to ensure that the soil is sufficiently stable and load-bearing. Although it may seem complicated, it essentially comes down to three key steps:

  • Check the soil type – the best substrate is compacted sand or clay, which ensures the stability of the structure.
  • Assess the site load – the soil should be able to support the weight of the building, which can range from several to over ten tons. This can be evaluated through simple load tests or geotechnical surveys.
  • Avoid problematic areas – if the plot is located on wet or peatland, additional stabilization measures may be required. 

A geotechnical soil survey is not required in every case, but in some situations, it may be essential.

Polish construction law does not impose a mandatory requirement to conduct such surveys for all projects, but their necessity depends on the soil characteristics and the planned structure. The final decision on whether a survey is needed rests with the designer, who evaluates the building conditions and the soil status.

When is it worth commissioning a soil survey?

  • If the land is wet, peaty, or has a loose structure, which may cause building settlement.
  • In areas with a high groundwater level, where there is a risk of foundation flooding.
  • When there are suspicions that the soil may not be sufficiently load-bearing and requires additional reinforcement.

Geotechnical surveys allow foundations to be adapted to the site’s specifics and help avoid costly problems in the future. However, on stable land where geological data is already available, such surveys may not be necessary.

How long can a soil survey take?
The duration of a soil survey can vary depending on factors such as the testing method and site complexity. For individual mobile homes, the survey can take anywhere from a few days to a week.

Where to find information about the soil?

  • Municipal Office or County Office – in the geodesy department, local geological maps and hydrological documentation can be accessed.
  • Polish Geological Institute (PIG) – provides detailed geological data available online at geoportal.pgi.gov.pl.
  • Local surveying offices – offer commissioned surveys that can provide detailed information about the soil on a specific plot.
  • gov.pl – provides access to digital geological and hydrological maps online, allowing for a preliminary analysis of soil conditions. 

Stable soil is key to a durable structure. Evaluate several important factors that may affect future construction:

  • Check the groundwater level – if water is too close to the surface, it may cause foundation settlement.
  • Check the slope of the plot – if the land is sloped, it may require additional leveling or special foundations.
  • Assess susceptibility to landslides – plots located on slopes may require additional stabilization measures.

How to check the stability of the site?

  • Use a geological map – available at municipal offices, county offices, or online via the geoportal.
  • Consult a geotechnical engineer – this allows for an accurate assessment of the soil condition.
  • Check stormwater drainage – ensure that rainwater has a natural outlet or a way to be drained. 

A well-prepared site is the foundation of durability and stability for a mobile home. Proper ground ensures even settlement of the building, prevents structural cracking, and facilitates potential relocation in the future. Preparing the plot requires taking several actions to ensure the stability and safety of the entire structure:

  • Clear the site – remove stones, tree roots, and other vegetation that may affect ground stability.
  • Level the surface – if the plot is uneven, earthworks such as grading, leveling, or embankments may be necessary.
  • Reinforce the soil – depending on the type of soil, mechanical compaction or a base layer of crushed stone, gravel, or other stabilizing material may be required. 

The minimum soil requirements for a mobile home are not strictly defined in Polish construction regulations. However, to ensure the stability and safety of the structure, it is recommended to meet the following conditions:

  • Soil stability and load-bearing capacity – The soil should be able to support the weight of a mobile home, which can range from several to over ten tons. The soil’s load-bearing capacity should be at least 100–150 kPa. For less stable soil, additional reinforcement may be necessary. Avoid wet, peaty, or loose soils that can cause building settlement.
  • Groundwater level should be as low as possible – High groundwater levels can affect soil stability and cause corrosion of structural elements. It is recommended that the groundwater level be at least 1 meter below the planned foundation level of the home.
  • The slope of the land should not exceed 5% – if the plot is steeper, additional leveling or appropriate foundations may be required. 
Foundation preparation
Foundation preparation is one of the most important stages before placing a mobile home. Foundations provide the stability, safety, and durability of the structure, so they deserve special attention. Well-planned foundations mean fewer problems in the future, fewer costly repairs, and greater comfort in using the home. Foundations must be constructed according to the technical documentation provided to the client at the time of purchasing the home. The number of support points varies depending on the size and version of the selected home.

The choice of foundations depends on soil conditions (such as load-bearing capacity, moisture, groundwater level, type and depth of soil layers) and your budget. There are three main options:

a) Pier Foundation (Concrete Footings)

This is the most commonly chosen method, especially when the soil is stable. Concrete footings are placed at strategic points, providing structural stability.

  • Advantages: low cost, possibility of quick leveling.
  • The footings should be made of C16/20 class concrete and placed on load-bearing soil below the frost line. They should be properly protected against moisture and insulated to prolong their lifespan.
  • On accurately leveled footings, the home can be placed directly on them, ensuring a thin isolation layer (rubber pad or roofing felt) between the mobile home’s steel structure and the concrete. If there are significant height deviations in the footings, adjustable supports designed for this solution should be used.
  • Pier foundations should not be used on wet or unstable soils.

b) Concrete Slab Foundation

A proven but more expensive solution is a concrete slab foundation.

  • Advantages: A slab foundation ensures even distribution of the building load regardless of the type of soil at the site, facilitating later leveling.
  • The slab should be made with recesses at support points or linear niches along the axle lines, at least 13 cm deep.
  • Using large slabs (minimum 50×50 cm) distributes the load over a larger area, enhancing the stability of the substructure. Large slabs also allow for layering, which aids initial leveling. Smaller slabs may tend to sink into poorly compacted soil, and more than two layers of such small slabs are not recommended.

c) Screw Foundations

This is a modern solution and an alternative to traditional concrete foundations, especially for soils with variable load-bearing capacity or where permanent ground modification is not possible.

  • Advantages: No concrete is required, avoiding long drying times, and installation takes only a few hours. 

Regardless of the chosen method, the foundations must be arranged according to the technical documentation provided to the client at the time of purchasing the home. The number of support points varies depending on the size and version of the selected home.

To ensure the stability of a mobile home, the foundations must be precisely leveled. Unevenness can lead to structural stresses and settlement issues, so it is important to maintain accuracy at this stage.

  • Use a spirit level – when laying the blocks, use a spirit level to check their alignment. Regularly monitor whether the surface is even, adjusting the position of the blocks as needed.
  • Use leveling wedges – if you encounter uneven terrain, use leveling wedges. Placing them under the blocks will correct the height of individual elements. Leveling wedges are especially useful on irregular ground.
  • Regularly check leveling – while laying each row of blocks, continuously check with a spirit level to ensure the surface remains even.

Proper protection of the foundations will ensure the stability of the structure and help prevent both heat loss in the home and moisture or mold on the floors.

a) Protection against settlement

  • If the soil is loose, it should be mechanically compacted before starting work. This can be done using a vibrating compactor or manual tamping.
  • For unstable ground, use a gravel or sand bedding to improve its load-bearing capacity. The thickness of the layer should be at least 20–30 cm.

b) Moisture protection

Water accumulating around the foundations can weaken them and lead to settlement of the home. Proper site drainage is recommended.

  • Install moisture insulation – using construction foil or roofing felt between the foundations and the home will reduce moisture penetration.
  • If the site is wet, consider installing a drainage system to prevent water accumulation near the foundations.
  • Ensure proper slope around the home (minimum 1.5% grade) to effectively channel rainwater away, protecting the foundations from excessive moisture. 

 

Installation day

This is the final stretch before placing the mobile home on your plot! Good organization is key. Proper preparation will ensure that the entire process runs smoothly and without delays. On this day, collaboration with the installation team and coordination of all activities are essential.

Contact the transport company to ensure that the delivery date has not changed. Verify that all logistical details are confirmed, including the arrival time and the exact delivery location.

The choice of unloading method depends on the house model, terrain, and plot size.

  • Crane – Unloading using a crane is the recommended and safest method for mobile home placement. Homes with flat floors can only be placed using a crane with the appropriate lifting capacity. The selection of the crane’s capacity is the responsibility of the crane service company performing the placement.
  • Tractor – This solution works well for smaller homes and plots with easy access. The home is pulled off the low-loader trailer and placed on the foundations. Thanks to an adjustable steel drawbar, the tractor can be attached from either side, facilitating maneuvering.

If a crane is used for the home installation, ensure that the service company has the appropriate equipment.

  • Top spreader beam – Essential for the safe unloading and placement of the mobile home. Its width should match the width of the home to ensure stability and operational safety.
  • Lifting capacity – The company should select a crane with a lifting capacity suitable for the model of the mobile home.
  • To ensure the safety of everyone involved in the installation, designate and mark the work zone. Use warning tape or barriers. Due to the different sizes of homes and the reach and maximum load capacities of machinery, the danger zone must be determined individually for each situation. Regardless of its size, the danger zone should be marked so that no bystanders enter it. Moving within the danger zone poses risks, such as uncontrolled load drops, crane tipping due to loss of stability, or support slippage. Ensure that the installation team has sufficient maneuvering space and that any unnecessary items nearby are removed. Proper site protection minimizes the risk of accidents and streamlines the installation process.
  • Important: Any attempt to place the home must be reported to the appropriate administrative authority. 

Transport and Route Planning

Transporting a mobile home is a stage that requires precise planning. Due to the size and weight of the structure, several logistical issues must be considered, such as the route and unloading equipment. The client can use our company’s transport services or arrange transportation independently.

Transporting a mobile home requires proper preparation of the destination site. The access route to the placement point should be properly prepared in advance (leveled and reinforced) because the home is heavy, weighing between 10 and 12 tons depending on the model. If the soil and water conditions do not allow for wheeled transport, unloading must not be carried out. If the season affects the surface condition (heavy rain or snow), transport should be conducted during dry periods or during freezing temperatures. Attention should be paid to the width of the entrance, which should be at least one meter wider than the home for safety. There should be no protruding branches along the access route that could damage the home. 

The company responsible for transporting the mobile home plans the route considering factors such as road width, clearance height and width (bridges, overpasses, and power lines encountered along the route), and the number and quality of turns. Due to the weight of the transport (home and vehicle), the road surface strength is also checked. Although the transport company handles all formalities, if you have any doubts about the accessibility of the route to your plot, it is advisable to arrange a local route inspection. This allows you to identify potential problems, such as narrow roads, low-hanging branches, or weak pavement, and, if necessary, plan an alternative route or prepare the site before delivery. 

The cost of transport varies depending on factors such as the route, the size of the home, or additional fees for special permits (common in EU countries). The quoted price is valid on the day the offer is made and may change at the time of organizing the transport due to:

  • route changes caused by roadworks,
  • restrictions on bridge load limits,
  • changes in legal regulations,
  • route changes enforced by the police,
  • the need to obtain additional permits. 

After transporting the mobile home, the unloading process begins. For unloading on the plot, you should have a tractor or crane to facilitate removing the home from the truck trailer. During the truck’s positioning to enter the plot, traffic on the surrounding road is temporarily stopped by a pilot supervising the entire transport. The truck then drives as close as possible to the plot entrance, and the home is pulled off the low-loader trailer using a tractor, which, due to its size and maneuverability, provides greater capabilities. Each home has an adjustable steel drawbar that can be mounted on either side of the home, allowing the tractor to attach to either side. Additionally, all our models are designed for unloading with a crane.

Well-organized transport ensures that the mobile home reaches the site smoothly and without complications. It is advisable to contact the supplier in advance to discuss all important details and avoid unexpected situations and additional costs. Make sure to set the date and time of transport, clarify requirements for access to the plot and site preparation, and remember that you must arrange the equipment needed for unloading (e.g., tractor or crane) yourself. 

Site Preparation

Before placing the mobile home on your plot, proper site preparation is necessary. This is not only a matter of convenience but, above all, of safety. A mobile home requires a stable foundation to prevent settlement and ensure the durability of the structure for years. Proper site preparation also facilitates installation and future use of the home.

  • Remove unevenness – Thoroughly clear the area designated for home installation. Remove any pits, mounds, and large stones that could obstruct the placement of the structure. If the ground is uneven, excavate higher spots and add soil to lower areas to achieve a uniform surface. For larger irregularities, equipment such as an excavator or land leveler may be necessary.
  • Compact the ground – After leveling, the soil should be properly compacted to prevent settlement after installation. If the ground is soft, it is best to apply a layer of crushed stone at least 10 cm thick to increase stability. For particularly weak soil, consider adding geotextile to improve load-bearing capacity and prevent excessive sinking of the foundations.
  • Apply a stabilizing layer (sand/aggregate) – If the soil is sufficiently load-bearing and well-compacted, this step can be skipped. However, in areas prone to settling or with unstable soil (e.g., sandy, clayey, or waterlogged soils), adding a layer of sand or aggregate further increases stability and uniformity. This is also recommended when the home will rest on concrete blocks, as a well-prepared stabilizing layer reduces the risk of uneven foundation settlement.
  • Level the terrain – For wheeled transport of the home, it is recommended to level the terrain within the installation area. The recommended maximum slope is 3%. However, when unloading a mobile home using a crane and properly constructed foundations (which may require a building permit), the home can be placed on natural terrain with steeper slopes. 
  • Remove obstacles – Clear the area around the installation site by removing unnecessary shrubs, trimming low-hanging branches, and eliminating any objects that could hinder the transport and installation of the home.
  • Check electrical wires and utilities – If there are low-hanging power lines near the installation site, contact the utility company to check the possibility of raising them. Also ensure that no underground utilities could be damaged during preparatory work.
  • Prepare the access road – Make sure the access road is wide enough, reinforced, and free of obstacles. Check for narrow turns, bridges, or other elements that could limit the vehicle transporting the home. The entrance gate should be at least 1 meter wider than the transported home to allow safe access.
  • Secure the installation area – For safety, mark the installation site using barriers or warning tape. Due to different home sizes, machine reach, and maximum loads, the danger zone must be determined individually for each situation. Regardless of the size of the danger zone, it should be marked so that no bystanders enter it. Moving within the danger zone poses risks, such as injury from uncontrolled load drops, crane tipping due to loss of stability, or support slippage.
  • Check weather conditions – Ensure in advance that weather conditions will not negatively affect the placement process of the mobile home. Heavy rain, snow, or icy surfaces may delay installation or even require rescheduling. 

Before placing the mobile home, carefully verify the arrangement of the support points. Each mobile home model has specific requirements regarding the number and location of supports, so it is crucial to strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Proper placement of the support points ensures an even distribution of the home’s weight and eliminates the risk of tilting or uneven settling. Also, check the level of each support using a spirit level, as any deviations can affect the uniform distribution of the home’s weight. 

Utility Preparation

Letniskowo mobile homes are equipped with essential utilities for greater user comfort. Each home includes electrical, TV/radio, water, sewage, and ventilation installations. This allows mobile homes to offer comfort and functionality comparable to traditional houses, enabling convenient use of appliances such as showers, sinks, toilets, and household devices.

The mobile home is equipped with a domestic water installation designed according to current regulations and standards. The system is adapted for operation under pressure, with the source of pressure being either the mains water supply or a hydrofor set.

  • Water source:

a) If the plot is connected to the municipal water supply, connecting to the mains is the simplest solution. The first step in connecting the property to the water network is to submit an application for preliminary technical information regarding the possibility of supplying water. This application is submitted to the local water utility. The technical information specifies the available options for connecting water to the property. Next, the investor must sign a connection agreement with the local water company, which outlines the responsibilities of both parties and the costs associated with the connection. Fees for connecting the property may vary depending on the location, complexity of the work, and pricing policy of the water utility.

b) If connection to the local water network is not possible, an independent water source, such as a deep well, must be arranged. These services are provided by specialized companies with the appropriate equipment.

Important: Pipe protection – To avoid problems during winter, water pipes should be laid below the frost line (approximately 1.2–1.5 m) or equipped with thermal insulation. Investing in insulating materials such as polyurethane foam or mineral wool effectively protects the pipes from heat loss. Additionally, heating mats or tapes connected to electricity can maintain pipe temperatures above zero. It is also important to check the insulation for leaks and fill any gaps. Regularly bleeding the water system prevents issues caused by excess air in the pipes, which can increase pressure and potentially cause pipes to burst if freezing occurs. 

Connecting a mobile home to the electrical grid requires obtaining connection conditions in advance and meeting specific technical requirements.

  • Submit an application for connection conditions – The application is submitted to the local electricity provider (e.g., PGE). The form can be downloaded from the provider’s website or completed at a customer service office. The application should include:
    • Document confirming plot ownership,
    • Site plan with the mobile home location marked,
    • Specification of the required connection power (usually 10–15 kW).
  • Sign the connection agreement – After approval of the application, the provider prepares an agreement outlining the technical conditions and costs of connection.
  • Install the connection – After signing the agreement, the provider carries out the connection and installs the electrical box.
  • Technical inspection – After completion, the installation must be submitted for a technical inspection to confirm compliance with applicable standards.
  • Important: The mobile home usually requires 10–15 kW depending on the number of electrical devices, and for full functionality, a three-phase installation is recommended. It is also important that the electrical box is appropriately sized to house all necessary electrical components. If the box is exposed to rain, snow, or UV radiation, a model resistant to these factors should be selected. 

Depending on the conditions of the plot, wastewater disposal can be organized in several ways.

  • Connection to the municipal sewage system – If available, this is the most convenient and least demanding solution. Connection to the public sewer is usually made via a lateral connection ending in an inspection chamber, where it connects to the pipe carrying wastewater from the building. The construction requires agreement with the local water and sewage company, preparation of a proper project, and notification of the intention to create the connection at the county office.

For plots without access to the local sewage network, two main solutions are used for wastewater disposal:

  • Septic tank – This is currently the most popular solution for collecting wastewater in Poland. If equipped with a drainage system, it releases wastewater into the soil where it is filtered and purified before entering the ecosystem. It should have proper ventilation for aerating the wastewater and include a settling tank. A sealed septic tank can be installed in various soil types and groundwater conditions. It also has fewer environmental restrictions: at least 5 meters from doors and windows, 15 meters from a water source, and at least 7.5 meters from roads, sidewalks, or property boundaries.
  • Domestic wastewater treatment plant – The most ecological solution, requiring proper soil and space. It is a larger investment but pays off over time. These systems do not require frequent emptying (typically every 9 months) and minimal maintenance. They do not pose environmental risks, producing water that can be used for lawn irrigation or other domestic purposes.

Important! The home sewage system is almost always designed as gravity-fed, where wastewater flows under its own weight. It must be installed correctly, as even a small mistake can cause problems or improper operation.

  • Pipe slope – Every horizontal section should be laid with a slope toward the wastewater outlet, usually 2–3 cm per meter. A smaller slope can lead to sediment accumulation, gradually reducing flow and potentially blocking the pipe.
  • Connections – Proper connection of all elements is crucial to ensure system tightness. Whenever possible, longer pipes should be used to reduce the number of joints, which are the main points where debris accumulates. Avoid using corrugated flexible pipes unless necessary. Horizontal sections should be as short as possible to facilitate wastewater flow. 
The owner is responsible for protecting the water and sewage connections against low temperatures. Without proper protection, the water supply system may freeze, leading to damage and failures. Protecting the installation from freezing does not require much effort. The connections can be insulated on the side exposed to freezing, for example with mineral wool or an insulating mat.
Formal and legal verification
Purchasing and setting up a Letniskowo mobile home involves the need to complete several important formalities. Before starting the investment, it is worth carefully checking the applicable regulations to avoid legal complications.
Each plot of land is subject to specific regulations that may affect the possibility of placing a mobile home on it. Therefore, it is necessary to:
  • Check the Local Spatial Development Plan (MPZP) – this document specifies what types of buildings can be constructed on a given area. The MPZP can be checked at the municipal office or on the office’s website.
  • Obtain Building Conditions (WZ) – if the MPZP does not apply to the given location, it is necessary to apply for a decision on building conditions at the municipal office. This process may take from several weeks to several months.

The reform of the planning system aims to organize and standardize the principles of land development. However, it may introduce additional challenges for investors, which is why it is important to follow the changing regulations. Below are the most important pieces of information that may be relevant for those planning to purchase a mobile home.

  1. Introduction of the municipal general plan: By the end of 2025, every municipality in Poland is required to adopt a general plan that will replace the current study of conditions and directions of spatial development. The general plan will be a local legal act defining the principles of spatial development within the municipality.
  2. Changes in building conditions decisions (WZ): The new regulations introduce restrictions on issuing WZ decisions. After December 31, 2025, these decisions will only be issued in areas designated in the general plan. Additionally, a 3-year validity period has been introduced for new WZ decisions.
  3. Integrated investment plan (ZPI): A new planning tool has been introduced – ZPI, which allows for the implementation of complex investments based on simplified planning procedures. The purpose of ZPI is to facilitate and accelerate the investment process.

Recommendations for investors:

  • Follow the process of adopting the general plan in the municipality where you plan your investment. The adoption of the general plan may affect the feasibility of your project. After 2025, WZ decisions will only be issued in specific zones designated in the general plan. This means that if your plot is located outside these areas, obtaining a WZ decision may be impossible or significantly more difficult.
  • If your area is covered by an MPZP, your investment must comply with it. Otherwise, it will be necessary to obtain a WZ decision, if possible under the new regulations.
  • Remember the 3-year validity period of the WZ decision and plan your activities so that they fit within this time frame.

How to check and follow work on the general plan?

  • Visit the municipal office – in the spatial planning department, you can obtain information about the schedule of work on the general plan and any changes in land development.
  • Check the Public Information Bulletin (BIP) – municipalities publish draft documents and announcements of public consultations there.
  • Participate in public consultations – as a resident or investor, you have the right to submit comments on the plan’s draft. If you see that new regulations may hinder your investment, it is worth presenting your arguments during the consultations. 
According to current regulations, mobile homes with a building area of up to 70 m² can be constructed based on a notification, provided certain criteria are met:
  • No permanent connection to the ground – the house does not have foundations permanently attached to the ground. This means it stands, for example, on foundation blocks or concrete slabs.
  • Recreational purpose – the structure is not used as a year-round residence.
  • Number of structures on the plot – one such building is allowed per 500 m² of land area.
If the mobile home is intended to serve as a year-round residence, even if its area does not exceed 70 m² and it is not permanently connected to the ground, a building permit is required.
A building permit for a mobile home up to 70 m² is required when:
  • The home is intended to serve as a year-round residence.
  • It is permanently connected to the ground through fixed foundations.
  • Local planning regulations require it.

If the mobile home meets the conditions for construction based on a notification, the following steps must be taken:

Preparation of documentation:

  • Map for opinion purposes – a current map of the plot showing the planned location of the house, maintaining the required distances from the plot boundaries (usually at least 4 m).
  • Technical description of the structure – basic information about the planned mobile home, including dimensions, construction materials, and method of placement.
  • Statement of the right to use the property for construction purposes – a document confirming the right to use the plot for the investment.

Submitting the notification:

  • Complete and submit the notification application form (available at the county office or on its website).
  • Attach the required annexes, including the prepared documentation.
  • Submit the complete set of documents to the county office appropriate for the plot’s location.

Waiting for a decision:

  • After submitting the notification, the office has 21 days to raise any objections.
  • The absence of objections within this period means you may start the construction work. 
It is important to remember that the obligation for a technical inspection may vary depending on local regulations, so it is recommended to contact the relevant office in advance to determine the required procedures. Some municipalities may require a technical inspection of the mobile home after it has been placed. The building supervision inspectorate may check whether the house has been installed in accordance with the design and applicable regulations. If an inspection is required, you must notify the authorities of the building’s readiness for inspection.
Some people mistakenly assume that a mobile home does not require any formalities. Meanwhile, the most common formal mistakes are:
  • Lack of verification of MPZP and WZ – It may turn out that placing a mobile home in a given location is not allowed. To avoid this, it is worth consulting the municipal office in advance and checking the applicable planning regulations, especially in light of the changing rules related to the adoption of the General Plan.
  • Failure to submit a notification or obtain a building permit – If you do not submit a notification or obtain a permit where required, you may receive an order to dismantle the structure. To prevent this, always check the legal requirements at the county office before starting your investment.
  • Improper placement of the house on the plot – The house must be located in accordance with the minimum required distances from the plot boundaries (usually 4 m). Before setting up the structure, it is advisable to take accurate measurements and consult local regulations.
  • Failure to account for technical infrastructure – If the mobile home is to be connected to utilities (water, sewage, electricity), it is necessary to obtain the technical conditions in advance. Failure to do so may result in delays or the inability to use the home.
  • Lack of documentation confirming the legality of construction – In the event of an inspection by the building supervision authority, you must have a complete set of documents, such as the construction notification, map for opinion purposes, technical design, and statement of the right to use the property.

In this section, you will find a summary of the most important deadlines and procedures that must be considered when planning the placement of a mobile home. A well-organized schedule will help you avoid unnecessary delays and formal complications, and give you a clear picture of how long the entire investment may take.

  • Decision on building conditions (WZ) – if the MPZP does not apply, a WZ must be obtained. This process can take from several weeks to several months, depending on the office’s workload and the completeness of the documentation.
  • Construction notification – it must be submitted to the county office or city hall. The office has 21 days to raise any objections. Lack of response means consent to begin placing the house.
  • Building permit – required in certain cases (e.g., a house permanently connected to the ground or used as a year-round residence). The process of obtaining a permit can take several months, especially if additional documentation or approvals from other institutions are needed.
  • Technical inspection – if required, it should be reported immediately after the placement of the house. The building supervision inspectorate may carry out an inspection within a few weeks of notification.
  • Utility connections – if the house will be connected to utilities (water, electricity, sewage), it is necessary to apply in advance for technical connection conditions. Waiting for a response may take several months, depending on the type of infrastructure.
  • Investment completion time – from the moment the first documents are submitted until all formalities are completed and the house can be used, the process may take from several months to a year, depending on legal and technical circumstances.
