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: €33-63/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.
