Building a house is one of the biggest personal projects, so it helps to understand the order of steps before you start. In Montenegro the process usually goes from a plot check, through concept and main project, to permit and construction.
The first step is checking the location and planning framework. Only when you know what and how much you can build does design make sense. This check saves time and prevents unrealistic expectations.
Next comes the concept, where the idea takes concrete form through spatial organisation and 3D views. Here you make key decisions before entering expensive technical work.
After the concept is adopted, the main project with all engineering phases is produced, forming the basis for permit and construction. A clear process from the start makes the whole path more predictable.
