Multi-year works plan (PPT) implemented in condominiums

The TPP is a document that contains a list and detailed schedule of necessary or useful works to be achieved on the common areas a condominium, spread over a period of 10 years. This plan, approved by the general meeting of co-owners, allows the collective works of the building to be anticipated and staggered.

The purpose of the TPP is to ensure the safeguarding of the building (i.e. its preservation in good condition), the maintenance of common areas and collective equipment as well as the improvement of energy efficiency.

It's a methodological tool which informs and helps co-owners to identify the works to be planned, to define their order of priority and to organize their financing over time.

The Draft Multi-Year works Plan (MAPP) is a proposal for works to be carried out in the common areas of the building. It is established on the basis of a study of the structure of the building, its equipment and possibly the energy performance diagnosis (EPD) and/or the global technical diagnosis (GTD). It is not mandatory. It is a preliminary document that requires validation by the co-owners at a general meeting.

The Multi-Annual works Plan (MAPP) corresponds to the PPPT partially or fully voted by the co-owners at the general meeting. It is the final plan that specifies the works to be made, their timing, and their funding (often through fund-raising). It constitutes a reference framework retained by the co-ownership which has a binding value. The works it provides for must nevertheless be put to the vote of the co-owners as they go along, according to their schedule.

The TPP project is carried out based on an analysis of the building and equipment of the building and the energy performance diagnostics (EPD) and, optionally, global technical diagnosis (GTD) if it was carried out.

The draft TPP shall include the following:

• List of works needed to safeguard the building, preserve the health and safety of occupants, achieve energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Estimating the level of energy performance and greenhouse gas emission performance that works can achieve
• Summary estimate of the cost of these works and their prioritization
• Proposed timetable for works that appear to be needed in the next 10 years.

The TPP contains mainly:

• all the works prescribed in the PPPT, and voted by the co-owners,
• the prioritization of works according to urgency,
• the timetable for the achievement of the works (short, medium, long-term),
• an estimate of the costs associated with each category of works,
• a budget forecast with a breakdown of expenditure over the duration of the multiannual plan.

Yes. Since 1^er January 2025, the establishment of a draft multi-year works plan (PPPT) is in principle mandatory for all buildings in total or partial residential destination of which the reception goes back more than 15 years, regardless of the number of residential, office or commercial lots included (from less than 50 lots to more than 200 lots).

However, the syndicate of co-owners may be dispensed of this implementation if a global technical diagnosis (GTD) shows no need for works in the 10 years following its preparation.

The implementation of the TPP project must be entrusted to a professional with proven skills and guarantees.

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

This professional must:

• Certify on the honor of its impartiality and independence with respect to the trustee and with respect to energy suppliers and companies involved in the immovable
• Prove that you have taken out professional liability insurance. It specifies the competences covered.

The vote on the multiannual works plan shall be taken in several steps :

1. The trustee must first register in theagenda of the general meeting of co-owners the modalities for the development of the draft multi-annual works plan (MTPP). At this stage, the trustee thus seeks the agreement of the syndicate of co-owners to carry out the PPPT and choose the provider who will establish it. This resolution is voted by a majority of the votes of co-owners present, represented or having voted by post (simple majority).
2. Once the TPP is completed, the trustee must submit it to the 1^re annual general meeting of co-owners following its development. The co-owners will then decide to validate the PPPT, partially or totally, or to reject it.
   The PPPT can also be discussed at the meeting to be adjusted according to the specific needs of the building. It can therefore be challenged if the co-owners consider that some of its recommendations are questionable or inappropriate.
   The adoption or rejection of the TPP must be voted on by a majority of the votes of all co-owners (absolute majority). If the TPP is adopted, it becomes a TPP. It then constitutes a roadmap for co-ownership and commits the syndicate of co-owners to a logic of programming works.
3. The works to be achieved will be voted according to the recommended timetable. Each vote will be accompanied by a vote on their financing and on the amount of fees to be collected by the trustee.

If the General Assembly adopts a TPP, it is financed by the works funds in which each co-owner must participate.

The TPP needs to be updated every 10 years.

The mayor or the prefect or the president of a public inter-municipal cooperation institution (EPCI) may at any time ask the trustee to send him the adopted TPP to check that the scheduled works guarantee the safety of the building and the safety of its occupants.

If the TPP is not transmitted within 1 months from the notification of the request, the mayor or the prefect or the president of EPCI may automatically prepare or update the draft TPP instead of and at the expense of the syndicate of co-owners. The same applies if the plan submitted does not prescribe the works necessary to preserve the safety of the occupants of the building.

Upon receipt of the draft TPP notified by the mayor or the prefect or the president of a public establishment of intercommunal cooperation, the trustee must convene a general assembly to decide on the adoption of all or part of the draft plan.
