Architecture & interior design · projects in Israel

In Israel, what stops a scheme is usually somebody else’s signature.

Almost any change touching common property — a wall, a balcony, a roof, added floor area — needs a consent nobody mentions at design stage. Your client is abroad and cannot sign. The contractor receives a specification that no document obliges him to honour. That is the side we take on.

The three marks on this drawing are three documents somebody has to obtain before building starts. None of them is a design question.

What we take off your desk

Not a logo on a partners page. Four things you can use on the next Israeli project.

  1. 01

    What your scheme will require, before you present it

    We check what the property carries and what your scheme triggers: title and rights, and exactly what will need neighbours’ consent, a majority in the building, or a house-committee decision. You present a scheme that can be built, not one that comes back after the client has fallen for it.

  2. 02

    Your specification, as a document that binds the contractor

    Your drawings and specification go in as an annex to the contract with the contractor, with a proper mechanism for variations and approvals. A material is not substituted because that is how it worked out. It is not substituted because that is what the contract says.

  3. 03

    Your client signs from wherever they are

    Powers of attorney, apostille and remote identification, prepared in advance. A decision does not stall for a fortnight because somebody has to fly in to sign.

  4. 04

    A direct line to the lawyer handling the file

    A question about a right, a neighbour or a deadline is answered by the person who knows the file — in English, French or Hebrew. Not a switchboard and not a form.

Let’s settle it in one call.

Twenty minutes, phone or Zoom. We map where your projects and our files actually meet, and you leave with a name and a number that work. No exclusivity, and nothing to sign before we have spoken.
