help with permis de construire

Recommended Posts

Help! Please!

Can anyone help with the following translation? I am trying to complete the 'permis de construire' with the help of Babelfish, and I'm stuck with the following:

-         Surface Hors Oeuvre Brute (SHOB)

-         Surface Hors Oeuvre Nette (SHON)

The translation I received from Babelfish is

-         Overall surface Rough (SHOB)

–    Overall surface Clear (SHON

 

But I haven't a clue what that means.  We are extending the house, have been to the DDE and are now back in the UK trying to fill out the forms they gave us.

 

Many thanks

Lynda

Hi,

Basically , outside and inside surface area.

For example, if you are constructing a house, the brute would be the overall exterior surface area measuring round the outside of the walls.

The nette, would be the inside, in effect the sum of the internal floors on one storey.

So in the case of an extension, it may be as well to give these figures for the extension alone.

Hope that helps.
