Coupe sur le batiment

[alnmike]

Hello!  We  have had notice that our Declaration de Travaux

is incomplete - not really surprised. We want to install one Velux and

replace an existing little wooden door to the attic with a uPVC window

with shutter, the same as exist in the rest of the house. What we have

been asked for is:

coupe sur le batiment avant et apres travaux.

Now, it is something 'on the house before and after work' and using

google, it says 'cross'.  Please - does this really mean 'cross on

the house before and after work' and if it does mean that, what are

they asking for?

As ever - thanks in advance!!

Doing this myself at the moment, it means, i think, they want a cross section of the house before and after with all the heihts of the house (floors, ceiling height, roof peak etc) shown.  I assume that they want the cross section to show where the work is happening.

Hope this helps

Cross-section drawings. Normally with a Declaration de Travaux they don't insist on these although they are on the list. They take a lot of time to do accurately and the other drawings have to show where the cross-section has been done

I've always used photos with the relevant changes drawn on, and have never been asked for a cross-section.

Thanks all! I did include photos with change marked too! Anyway, MOH

uses some fancy programme on his computer and says it is not too

difficult. . . . . It does seem a lot of paperwork for just one small

window that does not overlook anyone!![8-)]
