Cost and duration of utilities on a building plot

Do you want to build a house, office building or other facility? One of the first choices is the question of whether and what building plots are worth choosing. You need to think about where it is to be located and whether it should be armed. What does it even mean? So let’s think about what the development of a building plot is, how much it costs, whether it is possible to buy a developed area and how long the development process takes. We invite you to read.

What does it mean that the plot is developed?

Utilities on a building plot include supplying it with basic utilities, i.e. water, gas, sewage and electricity. Fortunately, we do not have to have full armament, e.g. we can give up gas. Nevertheless, it is worth thinking ahead.

 

Does this mean that there is no point in buying a plot of land without utilities when we want to build a house on it?

You can take care of the issues related to the armament yourself. However, you have to take into account the costs and the time-consuming process. This is therefore a great basis for negotiating the price of the land if it has not been previously developed.

 

How much does it cost to develop a plot of land

How much is the cost of developing a building plot?

This is an individual matter that depends on many factors. All information provided is approximate only and in any case prices may vary.

 

Current

The provision of an electricity connection to a plot depends on many factors. These include m.in.

– connection power,

– the number of plots in the vicinity,

– region rates,

– distance of the plot from the electricity network.

 

How much does it cost?

It is worth counting on average approx. 3-5 thousand zlotys .

Water + sewer

Water and sewage connections are organized under one application. The cost of implementation depends on the length of the connection and the number of properties in a given area. It is the water and sewage companies of the municipality that are most often responsible for the pricing policy. It is estimated that one meter of connection is about PLN 200-400. To this should be added the price of the project, which can cost around PLN 2000. However, this is not all. The list also includes:

– agreeing on the project in the Documentation Arrangement Team,

– acceptance by an authorized employee,

– fee for issuing water supply conditions,

– geodetic fees,

– fees for connecting the connection to the network.

What is the real cost of a water and sewage connection?

Within the range of 6 to 10 thousand zlotys . What if your area lacks public sewerage? What remains is to invest in a septic tank or a domestic sewage treatment plant. In both cases, you must go to the local municipal company with the appropriate application.

 

Gas

The gas connection is almost identical to the above-mentioned electricity. However, it should be remembered that it is not mandatory to equip a building plot with gas , so you can opt out of it. However, if you want to have access to gas just in case, e.g. to heat your property, take into account the costs of 5-8 thousand zlotys – this is the average price for the implementation of a 20-meter connection.

 

How long does it take to develop a building plot?

Official matters always take a lot of time. So check where you should go and how long you can wait to organize everything from A to Z.

 

Gas and electricity

You must submit an application for grid connection conditions to the relevant site in your region. The gas company has 21 days to consider and issue an opinion, while the energy company has 30. When the answer is positive, you will receive a draft contract. It specifies, m.in other things, the deadline for the completion of the gas and electricity connections. All you need to do is sign and make the payment. We can still expect implementation, which has been going on for several months upwards.

 

Water + sewer

When it comes to the water and sewage network, the process is almost identical. An application for the issuance of technical conditions for water supply and sewage disposal (with a master map at a scale of 1:500) should be submitted. The plant has 21 days to respond. Is the opinion positive? You must commission the implementation of the connection project, which must then be agreed in the Documentation Arrangement Team. This takes another 30 days. Remember that the notification of the construction of the connection must take place no later than 30 days before the planned date of commencement of works.
