Architects and Engineers
We develop solid solutions for architecture, structure, energy, existing buildings, fire safety and building services – from the first analysis to completion.
Services
Six disciplines, coordinated early and merged into one solid overall design.
01
End-to-end design and guidance for new construction, conversion and existing-building projects – from the first idea to completion.
02
Safe and economical structural solutions for new buildings, conversions and interventions in existing structures.
03
Energy concepts for efficient, sustainable and subsidy-eligible new construction and refurbishment.
04
Precise digital capture of existing buildings as a reliable basis for design, conversion and documentation.
05
Design and verification of effective fire safety measures for safe, permit-ready building projects.
06
Integrated design and coordination of technical systems – aligned with architecture, structure and energy demand.
Project types
Choose the situation that comes closest to your project.
From plot to finished building – design, permission and execution from one source.
Hillside family house, from first sketch to handoverMore space in your familiar house – designed with structure, building law and aesthetics together.
Extension with roof terrace on a 1960s houseInterventions in existing fabric – based on what is really there.
Opening in a load-bearing wall with structural verificationNew use, new requirements – we check permissibility and run the procedure.
Barn becomes assisted livingComplete, verifiable documents and coordination with the authority – through to permission.
Permit application with structural, fire and energy verificationsAnalysis, concept and subsidy consulting – refurbishment with a plan instead of piecemeal measures.

Design process
We capture goals, requirements, existing structures, the plot and available documents.
We review building law, structure, use, energy, fire safety and technical requirements.
Architecture and engineering are merged into one coordinated design.
We coordinate the necessary documents, verifications and consultations.
Tendering, award, execution and quality are managed in a structured way.

Planning takes responsibility.
About BATA GROUP
BATA GROUP combines architecture and engineering into one coordinated design. Our standard: understand the task early, make risks visible, and turn that into clear, buildable solutions.

FAQ
Retroactive legalisation usually runs via a building application or a change-of-use notification. Key factors include daylight, room heights, fire safety and escape routes – requirements differ between federal states. We assess the building, clarify the requirements with the authority and prepare the necessary documents.
Stay calm and do not rush to the authority. The sensible first step is a professional assessment: what was built, would it be permittable, which documents are missing? On that basis an orderly path to legalisation can be developed – or the risk assessed realistically. Read the full guide (German) →
Whenever the new use triggers different public-law requirements than the old one – for example converting commercial space to housing, a barn to living space, or a shop to gastronomy. Whether permission is needed in a specific case depends on the federal state and the situation. We check this in advance.
Generally possible, but almost always subject to permission: habitable rooms must meet requirements for daylight, ventilation, room height and escape routes. For garages, parking space verification is added. An early feasibility check saves expensive surprises.
Yes. Using digital 3D surveys and point cloud capture we create precise as-built floor plans, sections and elevations on site – a reliable basis for design, permit application and conversion.
Only with structural verification. Interventions in the structure require structural design and, depending on scope, a permit or stability verification. We assess the building, calculate the necessary support and deliver all verifications from one source.
Often yes – but the division usually requires permission. Relevant factors include fire safety between the units, sound insulation, parking spaces and escape routes. We check feasibility and guide the procedure through to permission.
That depends on size, location and federal state: some projects are procedure-free, many are not – especially near boundaries or for heated conservatories. Procedure-free also does not mean rule-free: setback areas and the zoning plan still apply. We clarify this before you build.
Take deadlines seriously and answer the request properly – incomplete or incorrect submissions delay the procedure. We review the notice, compile the requested documents and handle communication with the authority.
Absolutely. A pre-purchase assessment clarifies before you sign what is legally permissible, whether the building is permitted, and which risks lie in the fabric, structure or energy performance. It protects you from bad purchases – and strengthens your negotiating position.
