Degree of completion

The residential building is massive, type of construction - “EPK” /“large-area formwork”/.

Large-area formwork is a technology for the construction of buildings from monolithic reinforced concrete. It uses formwork the size of an entire wall or the floor of a room and heavy cranes. The large number of monolithic reinforced concrete walls in EPK facilitate the absorption of seismic loads, which is why this type of construction is used in high-rise buildings, with which it is often associated. The facade and partition walls are made of various types of building blocks, sometimes panels.

The residential building has a certificate for the energy performance of the building, category “B”. According to the Law on Local Taxes and Fees, the presence of such a certificate “exempts the building” from local tax for a period of three years. This means that all apartment owners will pay only a household waste fee to the Sofia Municipality, without local tax, for a period of three years.
