A partial or full demolition of an existing building should also be legalised. If the building does not comply with the required urban parameters, it may be necessary to make changes to the existing construction. In some cases, regulations allowing, the request for legalisation can also be used as an opportunity to apply for a building extension.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kgalvomw-01e511a243b594e49422ffa63e10e0c2\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kgalvomw-01e511a243b594e49422ffa63e10e0c2{\nheight:100px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kgalvomw-01e511a243b594e49422ffa63e10e0c2 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-kgalyn5x-066859dd9eb946571fe3e7c28a5a52d0-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/oficinadearquitectura.pt\/en\/query-contact\/'  class='avia-button av-kgalyn5x-066859dd9eb946571fe3e7c28a5a52d0 avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-x-large avia-position-left avia-color-light'  ><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' > your enquiry here<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-4139'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3313,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Legalisation of existing buildings - Oficina de Arquitectura<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Legalisation of existing buildings.
