## Two design packages

-   Architecture and site layout — 55 €/m². Floor plans, sections, elevations and the site plan: placement on the plot, access and landscaping.
-   Full design — 75 €/m². Architecture and site layout plus structural design and engineering systems.

## How the design process works

1.  Brief and plot review. We clarify your needs and budget and check what the municipal spatial plan allows on the plot.
2.  Concept. We propose a layout and massing and refine them with you until they fit how you live.
3.  Building design in minimum scope. We prepare and submit the documents to the building authority in Latvia's Construction Information System (BIS) to obtain the building permit.
4.  Building design. We develop the design in enough detail to meet the permit's design conditions and let the builder work without guesswork.
5.  Support during construction. We answer the builder's questions and, where needed, get changes approved.

## Price examples by floor area

The price is the floor area multiplied by the rate per square metre. Examples for common house sizes:

| Floor area | Architecture and site layout (55 €/m²) | Full design (75 €/m²) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 100 m² | 5 500 € | 7 500 € |
| 120 m² | 6 600 € | 9 000 € |
| 150 m² | 8 250 € | 11 250 € |
| 200 m² | 11 000 € | 15 000 € |
| 250 m² | 13 750 € | 18 750 € |

We confirm the exact price after discussing your plot and brief. The topographic survey and geotechnical investigation are separate services carried out by surveyors and geotechnical engineers. LINE 78 is not registered for VAT, so no VAT is added to these prices.

## Individual or ready-made design?

A ready-made (catalogue) design is cheaper and available sooner, but it was not drawn for your plot. It still has to be adapted to the site and approved by the building authority, and layout changes cost extra.

An individual design pays off when the plot is narrow, sloped or restricted, when views, sun orientation or a specific layout matter, or when you plan to extend the house later.

## Who designs and signs the project

The LINE 78 team develops the design in BIM, and a certified architect signs it. The BIM model lets us spot clashes between architecture, structures and engineering systems during design rather than on site.

## FAQ

### How much does a private house design cost?

Architecture and site layout cost 55 €/m²; the full design with structures and engineering systems costs 75 €/m². For a 150 m² house that is 8 250 € or 11 250 €.

### How long does a house design take?

Usually 3–5 months, depending on the complexity of the house and how quickly we agree on the concept. The building authority's review time comes on top.

### What do you need to start?

The plot address or cadastral number and your brief: floor area, number of rooms, storeys and budget. The design also requires a topographic survey; if you do not have one yet, we will explain how to order it.

### Do you help obtain the building permit?

Yes. We prepare and submit the documents in the Construction Information System (BIS) and respond to the building authority's questions.

### Do you work outside Riga and Mārupe?

Yes, we work across Latvia. Our office is at Gaujas iela 118-12, Mārupe.
