What are Condominium Plans?

Prior to starting the construction process, condominium plans are crucial. Permits and city approvals will be obtained using these plans.

A condominium building’s construction team will then use the plan to procure materials and labour in the construction process.

As well as ensuring that a building is constructed correctly, these plans ensure its safety, and building regulations and codes might not be met without it.

Why are Condominium Plans important?

Condominium plans play an important role in the construction process. The builder will use the plans to obtain the necessary permits and approvals and procure materials and labour by providing a clear blueprint for the construction process.

The architect and engineer will also use the plans to ensure that the development is built according to the specifications. Without a condominium plan, it would be very difficult to build a condo that meets all of the necessary building codes and regulations.

Factors to Consider in a Condominium Plan

Alberta’s Condominium Property Act is intended to protect buyers when they purchase a condo. The law requires that developers provide certain information to prospective purchasers, including a disclosure statement and floor plans. This should help you decide whether a particular condominium development is right for you.

These are the factors to consider when choosing a condominium plan:

  • Unit Size and Boundaries: The size of each unit will be based on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as the overall square footage. You also need to determine who owns which parts of the property, such as the walls, floors, and ceilings.

  • Unit Factor: The unit factor tells you how many units are available in the building. The higher the unit factor, the more units there are, and the more people can live in the building.

  • Property Boundaries: Property boundaries distinguish where the property line starts and end. This is important to know so you can determine how much space you have to work with. It should include the dimensions of the property, the location of any easements or rights of way, and the setback lines from any adjoining properties, waterways, or roads.

  • Additional Requirements: Condominium plans also have to include information to determine the title to the land, common areas and exclusive use areas, easements, insurance requirements, and reserve funds. All of these elements are essential for creating a condominium development that will be viable in the long term.
