The recent Presidential Decree (P.D. 194/2025) on the re-demarcation of settlements with less than 2,000 inhabitants has caused justified reactions across the country. Especially for areas like Crete, where the majority of settlements fall into this category, the effects will be catastrophic. What changes? All boundary extensions made by prefects after 1983 are canceled. ➡️ Properties that were considered perfect and buildable for decades lose the right to build. ➡️ The commercial value of properties drops dramatically, with an estimated total loss of over 100 billion euros. How are owners affected? Increase in quality to 4 acres. Reduction of building coefficient to 0.2. Restrictions on height, volume and uses. Complex procedures for issuing building permits. Maintaining high taxes (ENFIA) on properties that are essentially depreciating. The legal and social paradox The Presidential Decree ignores the real needs of the countryside, treating residential zones as "off-plan" areas, despite the fact that these are zones that were developed legally, with building permits and state tolerance. At the same time, the Constitution (article 17) protects property — which here is affected without transitional arrangements, compensation, or legal protection for citizens who acted in good faith. What does the TEE/TAK ask for? ✔️ Immediate withdrawal of the Presidential Decree. ✔️ Institutionalization of a new demarcation process with an active role of the Local Government. ✔️ Simplification and financing of urban planning tools (TPS, EPS). ✔️ Legal consolidation of the existing situation without retroactivity. Conclusion: Greece needs stable rules, trust in the State, and policies that respect the sustainability of the countryside and the rights of citizens. Not horizontal cancellations, not punitive regulations. source: ecopress.gr

Airtightness is fundamental to the energy efficiency and long-term durability of any building, whether it is a new construction or a renovation. In the photo you see the application of Contega Solido IQ tape, which ensures excellent air tightness at the connections, protecting the building from unwanted air leaks. 🔧 Why is airtightness important? Energy Efficiency : Reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, ensuring a constant temperature and reduced energy costs. Moisture Prevention : Prevents moisture ingress, protecting the building from mold and damage. Comfort and Healthy Environment : Ensures a better indoor climate without drafts and keeps the home healthy and comfortable. In combination with mechanical ventilation systems with energy recovery, the healthiest environment is achieved, as the air is constantly renewed without energy loss. Lasting Quality : Protects structures from temperature and humidity fluctuations, ensuring the long-term durability of the building. Airtightness and Natural Ventilation It is worth noting that, in an airtight building, the choice is ours : we can open the windows whenever we want for natural ventilation. However, in extreme weather conditions, when we want maximum soundproofing or seek the greatest energy savings, we can rely exclusively on mechanical ventilation. This system renews the air, while maintaining the temperature and saving energy. At Construction Development and NIDA , we use the most advanced methods to ensure the airtightness and energy efficiency of our buildings. #Anaptiksi #AeroSteganotita #PassiveHouse #EnergeiakiApodotikotita #SustainableConstruction #Renovations #ModularConstruction

In today’s construction industry, technology is evolving at a rapid pace, making knowledge of digital design tools, such as Revit and Tekla, critical to the career of young engineers. These tools are based on Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is the most modern way to manage construction and design. Revit, with its widespread use, and Tekla, with its advanced structural design capabilities, offer unique advantages that young engineers can leverage to enter the industry dynamically. One of Revit’s greatest strengths is its ability to provide a single platform for complete design and project management. With Revit, engineers can create detailed 3D models, collaborate in real time, and manage changes more efficiently. This makes the tool ideal for large and scalable construction projects, facilitating collaboration between different disciplines and between teams in different countries. Similarly, Tekla offers special capabilities for detailed analysis and design of steel and other structures, ensuring accuracy and reliability in technical drawings. The use of BIM, through Revit and Tekla, enhances scalable development and allows complex projects to be executed with greater efficiency and fewer errors. These technologies support the management of all stages of a project, from initial design to completion, facilitating the timely detection and resolution of problems. Scalable development is not just a trend, but a necessity, as the construction industry continues to expand internationally and incorporate new technological data. For young engineers, specialization in Revit and Tekla not only offers technical skills, but also opens up opportunities for international collaborations. Companies operating globally require professionals who can integrate the use of BIM and contribute to the efficient implementation of projects in different markets. Thus, engineers who are familiar with these tools are better prepared for jobs with increased development prospects, both in Greece and abroad. In conclusion, expertise in Revit and Tekla is essential for any new engineer who wants to be competitive and thrive in a rapidly changing and technologically developing construction world.
