Cartaxo Town Council and the new PDM.
Cartaxo is revising its Municipal Master Plan — the first since 1998 — which replaces the old “space classes” with a clear split between urban and rural land and changes rules on floors and on legalising existing structures. Knowing these rules before you buy, build or legalise avoids surprises.
- PDM framework. We confirm the plot's viability under the new Cartaxo PDM before you invest in design.
- Municipal permitting. We prepare a complete application and follow the process — see how construction permitting in Portugal works.
- Legalisations. We assess ways to regularise existing structures under the new plan.
Who we work with in Cartaxo
Owners, developers and public bodies.
- Owners and families. New houses, extensions, refurbishment and legalisation of built situations.
- Developers and investors. Feasibility studies, permitting and coordination of engineering disciplines.
- Public bodies. Projects and technical advice for facilities and infrastructure.
How we work
From the preliminary study to site, without passing responsibilities.
1. Feasibility and preliminary study
Analysis of the plot and its framework under the Cartaxo PDM, to understand what is viable before moving ahead.
2. Design and disciplines
Architecture and engineering coordinated in the same team, ready for permitting.
3. Permitting and construction
Filing the application with Cartaxo Town Council and support through to the use permit.
