projetos de especialidade (specialist designs)

Everything that comes on top of the architectural design: structure, electrics, water and drainage, gas, acoustics, energy efficiency, telecommunications. Each is signed by its own engineer, who must be registered with their professional body. Without them you will not get a building permit.

Where you come across it. The stage after the architectural design has been approved, the designers' invoice, the set of documents for the câmara.
The twenty-day deadline for the câmara's decision runs from the submission of these designs, not from the first application. If you submit them together with the architectural design from the outset, the deadline runs from approval of the architectural part.
