This dossier resolves that gap with the strategy I used in practice:
- Complete regulatory route: The 7 necessary procedures (construction license, land use, environmental, fire department, etc.) with the correct order and the real timelines for each one.
- Adapted NSR-10 Blueprint: Structural calculations of the V3 Kruschke dome presented in the format the curator expects — seismic resistance, wind loads, triangulated stress distribution.
- Technical-legal argument: How to frame the dome within Title E of the NSR-10 (special structures) and the regulatory side door for lightweight structures.
- Ready-to-file forms: Calculation reports, location plans, area table, and the application letter with the legal argumentation.
It is not a structural engineering course. It is the complete dossier, annotated with the lessons from each rejection and each partial approval.
- 35-page PDF guide: step-by-step regulatory route with real timelines, costs, and contacts by municipality type
- Structural calculation plans for the V3 Kruschke dome (A1 format): load distribution, sizing by piece, connections and anchorages
- NSR-10 calculation reports in editable Word format: seismic resistance (zone 3 and 4), wind load, live/dead load
- 5 curatorship forms in Word: license application, area table, descriptive report, certificate of tradition, neighborhood letter
- Technical-legal argument template: how to present the geodesic geometry under Title E of the NSR-10
- Filing checklist: 23 necessary documents with status (mandatory/optional depending on municipality)
- Bonus: adaptation for tiny houses on wheels (classification as "temporary structure" vs. "building")
- Identify your municipality and category: The guide has a table of requirements by municipal category (1-6). Your category determines which procedures apply.
- Gather the base documents: Certificate of tradition and freedom (no older than 30 days), property clearance, copy of ID. The guide lists the 23 documents with their format.
- Adapt the calculation reports: Open the Word file of reports, replace the project data (address, area, seismic zone) and adjust the loads according to your specific design.
- Print the plans at A1 scale: The plans are in vector PDF. Take them to a plotter or print in A3 for preliminary review.
- Filing: Submit the complete dossier at your municipality's curatorship. The guide includes the filing order and what to do if the project receives observations.
- Follow-up: Use the tracking checklist with the real timelines per stage. If there are observations, the guide has a chapter on "responses to common observations".
