Rules and regulations for apartment redevelopment. Practical guide

What is the minimum size of rooms in an apartment?

There are many reasons why an apartment owner may have problems getting redevelopment approvals from government agencies.
There are various repair activities that in one way or another do not comply with the law, and therefore it is not possible to obtain permission for them. The current legislation describes a number of regulations, construction, fire and sanitary rules that must be taken into account and observed in order to carry out high-quality major repairs. Among these rules we can highlight the described minimum size of apartment premises. This is the name for recommendations on the minimum area of ​​rooms that should be followed if you want to obtain permission for redevelopment without unnecessary problems and delays.

Which SNiP regulates the redevelopment of an apartment?

I would like to note that each of the country’s subjects has the authority to adopt its own law, establishing its own requirements for the minimum size of residential premises, but they cannot contradict the requirements established at the federal level.

After the repair work is completed, it is necessary to invite a BTI employee who checks the actual changes made in the apartment with those reflected in the redevelopment plan. After this, a new technical passport for the residential property is drawn up.

Minimum sizes of apartments and rooms

Modern building rules describe the minimum acceptable dimensions not only of interior spaces, but also of apartments as a whole. These rules are necessarily applied in the design and construction of apartment buildings. In accordance with them, the area of ​​apartments must be no less than the following parameters:

• 28 m2 for one-room apartments;
• 44 m2 for two-room apartments;
• 56 m2 for “three rubles”;
• 70 m2 for four-room apartments;
• 84 m2 for five-room apartments, etc.

The minimum area of ​​premises in such apartments is influenced by several important factors, the main one being the climatic region. Moscow and the region belong to the second climatic region, which is characterized by the following dimensions of the interior spaces of residential buildings:

1. In a one-room apartment, the smallest possible room size is 14 m2.
2. In “kopeck piece” and large buildings, the minimum area of ​​rooms is: from 16 m2 for the living room and from 9 m2 for all other living rooms.
3. In all residential properties, the bedroom size must be more than 8 m2.
4. In two-room and other apartments, the kitchen size must be at least 8 m2.
5. If the kitchen is not a separate room, but acts as a zone in a large room, then the size of this zone should be at least 6 m2.
6. In a one-room apartment, the minimum kitchen size is reduced to 6 m2, while the area of ​​a kitchen niche can be only 5 m2.

Building regulations separately stipulate the height of residential and other premises of apartments. In Moscow and the region, the minimum height is from 2.5 m. For mezzanines and other non-residential premises, the minimum ceiling height is reduced to 2.1 m.

How are the requirements for minimum room sizes used during redevelopment?

When the owner requires a major overhaul aimed at dismantling the plumbing cabin, combining rooms and dividing premises, he must take into account the above standards so that the project prepared by professionals can obtain permission from the responsible services.

For example, if the owner wants to rebuild a one-room apartment and the planned work includes creating a kitchen niche and placing living space in the old kitchen, then it is very easy to make a mistake. In small apartments, such work may not be feasible at all, since in them the standard dimensions of the kitchen fit into the minimum acceptable values, which means that it is almost impossible to place a living room in it.

That is, if the original size of the kitchen is less than 9 m2, then it will no longer be possible to organize a living room in this room. The owner will only have to place a room here, which will not be considered residential in the technical passport.

Forward

When planning a major renovation, you should take into account not only the minimum permissible size of residential premises, but also many other restrictions of the law, modern building regulations, the requirements of the housing inspection and the author of the house project. It should be remembered that internal partitions can perform load-bearing functions, which means that their complete dismantling is impossible, and partial dismantling will require studying the interpanel joint and conducting a full study of the original characteristics of the apartment.

It is these factors that determine the need to seek help from professional designers if you want to carry out a major overhaul. Experienced specialists are well versed in modern legislation, they know all the current regulations and rules, that is, they will be able to select solutions for redevelopment that, on the one hand, will fully satisfy the customer, and on the other, will not contradict legal provisions.

Without professional help, it is sometimes impossible not only to prepare project documentation, but also to coordinate it with representatives of government regulatory services. Specialists with SRO clearance will not only make a project for the customer, but will also be able to take responsibility for its approval with the interested government services. To determine the cost of services of such specialists, you can use a calculator.

Minimum area of ​​living rooms

Coordination paths when arranging a new room will depend on whether you plan to affect the floor structures. If this is planned, then the development of project documentation, that is, a redevelopment project, will be required.

If the floor designs do not change, then the approval of the redevelopment will take place through a notification procedure or, as it is also called, approval according to the sketch.

The second equally important parameter is the size of the room. In accordance with SP 54.13330.2011, the minimum width of the room must be at least 2.5 meters. The length of the room is not regulated, but through simple calculations you can understand that it cannot be less than 3.6 meters in length.

Arrangement of a children's room depending on the age of the child

There are 2 windows, there is a large window in the room, and the kitchen has its own large window with access to the loggia. The room turned out to be 11.4 square meters, the kitchen was 10.5 square meters, the hallway was 4 square meters, the bathroom remained as is. Nothing was demolished. The partitions have just been erected. Is it possible to legalize this?

Land plots whose areas do not meet the established maximum standards are not registered in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Their development is not permitted.

I urgently needed a redevelopment project for a country house. I looked through a bunch of companies, but all of them are expensive, or they don’t have time to do it on time...

Living room and its dimensions

Furniture, its location and quantity are not particularly limited, since it depends on the taste of the homeowners. The main criteria that must be taken into account when determining the dimensions of a room are the distance from the furniture to the TV. The passage between monolithically installed furniture must have a width of at least 50 cm.

Serial type furniture for living room needs has the following standardized dimensions:

• The depth of the sofa is about 74 (90) cm, and the width is about 200 cm;
• The length and depth of the chair corresponds to 60-74 cm;
• The cabinets themselves for storing books or dishes are about 30 cm deep, and their length corresponds to 120 or 80 cm;
• The width of the tabletop surface of coffee tables is often 40-80 cm, while the length can range from 60 to 140 cm.

The installation of the TV must be based on and comply with hygienic comfort standards. It is highly recommended to place the screen at a distance of 6 or 8 diagonals from the eye of the beholder. The height of its arrangement should correspond to 7° or 10° from the horizontal beam passing through the pupil. In relation to existing standards, the living room area must be at least 18 m². For a family of 3 to 5 people, the living area should not be less than 25 m².

Cities with the largest area of ​​one-room apartments

Makhachkala took first place in the ranking.
In the capital of Dagestan, the average area of ​​a one-room apartment in a new building is 50.2 square meters. meters, that is, 26.5% more than the national average. At the same time, the average cost of an apartment here is 1,760,322 rubles, which is 21% lower than the average Russian price. Following Makhachkala are three cities with one-room apartments with an area of ​​43.2 square meters. meters: Chita, Smolensk and Surgut. However, prices vary noticeably: in Surgut such apartments are sold for 3,150,818 rubles, in Smolensk - for 1,808,004 rubles, in Chita - for 2,712,890 rubles.

A studio in Moscow is almost 6 times more expensive than in Kurgan

New buildings in Russia are becoming more expensive

Lipetsk closes the top five with an odnushka area of ​​43 square meters. meters. The average cost of such an apartment in new buildings in Lipetsk is 19% lower than the national average - 1,809,970 rubles.
