Terrace to room

Strictly speaking, this is illegal, because if what the developer says is true, then he can do it properly when designing, and you don't need to do decoration after buying a house! Developers often use the psychology of property buyers to artificially speculate on the so-called "selling point"-for example, this balcony can be a trick for the room. Why didn't he just give it to you? Isn't that more affordable, easier and more attractive?

Of course, if you really want to make this change, because it belongs to the renovation of existing buildings, it is recommended to follow the following procedures:

1. It should be reported to the competent department of urban planning administration and the property and owners' committee (if any) for approval, because the transformation has affected the facade and shape of the building, the property management of the residential area, the safety of the residents downstairs, and may even affect the sunshine of the residents in the north building;

2. Due to the influence on the facade design and the safety of the building structure, it shall be approved by the original design unit;

And I can tell you for sure that without the above approval and recognition, any changes to the existing building main body (or structure) are not allowed. For details, please refer to the Administrative Measures for Interior Decoration of Residential Buildings (OrderNo. 110 of the Ministry of Construction of People's Republic of China (PRC)) which came into effect on May, 2002. The relevant contents are as follows:

Article 9 Where the original design unit or a design unit with corresponding qualification level puts forward a design scheme to change the main body and load-bearing structure of the building, or the decoration activities involve the contents of Articles 6, 7 and 8 of these Measures, it must entrust a decoration enterprise with corresponding qualification to undertake it.

I wonder if the above answer can help you. Shunzhu
