Condominium of a building

DTG is mandatory for a building over 10 years old and which is the subject of a condominium. This is the case when a building is newly divided into several lots private and shared.

Condominium with disorders (unsanitary, in danger...)

The administration may ask the trustee present the DTG when the building is in trouble (for example, the building is unhealthy or peril) to check the proper use and safety of common areas.

The implementation of the DTG should be entrusted to a professional with expertise and guarantees.

It can be a design office, an architect, a thermician.

The trader must meet the following conditions:

  • Certify on the honor of his impartiality and independence with respect to the trustee and with respect to the energy suppliers and companies intervening in the building
  • Prove that you have taken out professional indemnity insurance. The insurance must specify the competences covered.

The DTG shall contain the following information:

  • Analysis of the apparent state of the common areas and the building's common facilities
  • Technical condition of the building and common equipment in relation to the legal and regulatory obligations relating to construction
  • Analysis of possible improvements to the building's technical and heritage management
  • Building energy performance diagnosis
  • A summary of the cost and a list of the work required to conserve the building, maintain the health and safety of the occupants, and achieve energy savings. This evaluation should include a description of the work to be carried out over the next 10 years.

The mayor or the prefect or the president of a public establishment of intercommunal cooperation may at any time ask the trustee to produce the DTG to check the state of good use and safety of the common areas presenting potential disorders.

If the DTG is not produced within one month of notification of the request, the mayor or the prefect or the president of a public establishment of intercommunal cooperation may have the DTG carried out automatically instead of and at the expense of the syndicate of co-owners.
