Structural Studies in Attica – For Houses, Shops & Unauthorized Buildings
What is a Structural Analysis?
Structural analysis is one of the most fundamental and decisive stages of any construction or engineering project, as it concerns the safety and durability of a building against loads, earthquakes, and weather phenomena. Although it is usually associated with the construction of new buildings, it is equally necessary in many other situations in the daily life of a property owner. 
Structural analysis or structural adequacy concerns works such as:
• Construction of new residential or commercial buildings
• Renovations and modifications (e.g., demolition of walls, changes to facades)
• Construction or reinforcement of unauthorized structures that are being legalized
• Construction of balconies, canopies, or attics
• Repairs to damage (cracks, subsidence, wear and tear)
• Visual inspection of existing building before purchase/sale
• Technical report for structural adequacy assessment (without extensive interventions)
The structural study is prepared by a specialized civil engineer, using modern calculation and design programs, and may be accompanied by a technical report, drawings, and/or a file for submission to public authorities.
It is often necessary for:
- Issuance of a building permit permit
- Legalization of unauthorized buildings (Law 4495/17)
- Participation in subsidized programs such as “Save Energy”
- Real estate transfer or insurance
The static sufficiency of a building is not a luxury – it is a prerequisite for life inside a property with security and peace of mind.
The team of City Engineering undertakes every type static study or technical evaluation with responsibility, clarity and without unnecessary technical burdens for the owner.
Static studies are necessary in various cases that relate with the safety and the legality of buildings.

Where a Structural Study is Required – Detailed Case Analysis
Structural analysis is essential in various cases related to the safety and legality of buildings.
Below are the main cases where a structural study is required:
For the construction of any new building (residential, commercial, warehouse, etc.), a complete structural study is required for the issuance of a building permit.
In cases of unauthorized constructions or additions subject to legalization procedures, a structural study is required to assess the load-bearing capacity of the building. deltaengineering.gr+1Citizen’s Guide+1
When the use of a building changes (e.g., from residential to commercial), a structural analysis is required to ensure that the building can support the new functional requirements.
In cases of renovation or repair, especially when we intervene in the building’s load-bearing structure, a structural study is required to assess the existing situation and design the necessary reinforcements.
When heavy machinery or equipment is to be installed (e.g., in industrial buildings), a structural analysis is required to ensure that the building can withstand the additional loads.
In some cases, when transferring real estate, a structural study may be requested to assess the structural condition of the building.
To join programs such as “Save Energy,” a structural study may be required, especially when interventions affecting the building’s load-bearing structure are planned.
Before demolishing a building, a structural analysis is required to ensure the demolition process is carried out safely.
Note: The requirement for a structural study may vary depending on the case and the applicable urban planning regulations. It is recommended to consult a qualified engineer to assess the requirements of each specific case.
