USING AN OVERSEAS
ARCHITECT TO DESIGN
A HOME IN GREECE.

Yes. Your overseas architect can remain involved, but the proposal must still be reviewed against the Greek property, local rules and permit-stage requirements by the appropriately licensed Greek team.

A foreign design set is not automatically a Greek permit submission. The Greek e-Άδειες process requires locally prepared and coordinated studies by the appropriately licensed project team.

You may need a Greek architectural counterpart to review the proposal, prepare the local architectural information and coordinate the relevant approval process. The exact team depends on the project.

They can be a design starting point, but they must be checked against the actual Greek property, planning controls, local architectural rules and Greek submission standards. Changes may be required.

A liaison architect connects the overseas design team with the Greek property, local requirements and architectural permit package through a defined review, adaptation and coordination scope.

Yes, where that is the agreed working arrangement. The page and appointment are structured to support the original design relationship rather than replace it.

No. We define responsibilities in writing and coordinate the local work with the overseas architect. A separate full-design appointment would only occur if expressly requested and agreed.

Possibly. Changes may arise from the survey, buildable area, setbacks, height, terrain, local architectural rules, authority comments or coordination with Greek engineers.

No. ikies does not provide signature-only submissions for unreviewed foreign drawings. The design and property information must be reviewed before any local architectural scope is accepted.

Not automatically. Liaison architecture covers the agreed architectural work. The wider permit may require survey, structural, mechanical, energy, fire-safety and other studies or approvals.

No, unless those disciplines are separately included through the relevant licensed professionals in a written proposal.

It may include preparation and coordination of the required architectural material where review is needed. Final decisions remain with the relevant authority, and the included revision rounds must be defined.

No. Approval requirements depend on the property, location and proposed work. We review the available information before advising on the likely path.

No. ikies can prepare, coordinate, present and revise the submission within the agreed scope, but final approval remains the decision of the relevant authority.

Initial consultations are billed at €90 per hour. A fixed-fee proposal can then be prepared based on design maturity, project size, location, adaptation required, deliverables and authority coordination.

Current plans, elevations, sections, roof and site information, renderings or model views, editable files where available, design notes and the client’s current decisions are all useful.

Early enough to review the Greek property and local requirements before the overseas design becomes difficult or expensive to change.

We can review it, but a completed foreign design may still require local adaptation. The first step is to assess the property, drawing quality and extent of changes likely to be needed.
