Paris: Heritage Delays, ERP Rules, August Shutdown
Permits take 8-12 weeks (Mairie de Paris slow). Historic buildings (common) require ABF heritage approval—add 6-10 weeks minimum. Quality contractors book 3-5 months out. Costs: €36-69/sqft. Reality: August = dead—nobody works (plan around this).
Paris specifics:
- Historic Center (1-8th): ABF approval almost always required. Façade work heavily restricted. Interior modifications need heritage architect involvement. Expect long timelines.
- La Défense: Faster permits (6-8 weeks), modern buildings, less heritage hassle. But building management rules strict.
- ERP Regulations: Fire safety and accessibility rules stringent. Often requires expensive upgrades (emergency lighting, disabled access). Budget accordingly.
French labor code impacts scheduling—35hr work week, extensive holidays. August shutdown unavoidable (entire industry on vacation). ERP compliance expensive but mandatory. ABF can reject designs—have backup options ready.
