Structural Design and Bonus Earthquake
Bonus earthquake, seismic certification, seismic risk vulnerability analysis
The D.Lgs. 81/08 (s.m.i.), which regulates safety in the workplace requires the assessment of all risks by the employer, including seismic risk.
There are 446 Lombard municipalities in zone 4 (less dangerous) all in the west of the Region, 1,028 in zone 3 and 57 included in zone 2 or "high risk". The new seismic zoning and the l.r. n. 33 of 2015 are both effective from 10 April 2016.
The bonus earthquake is an advantage that allows taxpayers to obtain a tax deduction Irpef of a percentage of the expenses incurred for consultancy and anti-seismic construction work on houses and buildings for productive activities.
What are the advantages?
Following an analysis of the building’s seismic vulnerability, it is possible to obtain a deduction in 5 years up to 80% for individual units and 85% for condominiums, depending on the reduction in the number of classes of seismic risk.
The seismic performance of the building will be attested in the appropriate Certificate of Seismic Risk.
All units located in risk zones I, II and III can access the Sismabonus, with a possibility of deduction up to € 96,000 per property unit. Particular attention is paid to buildings for productive activities, with prefabricated structure dating back to the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s whose seismic resistance is extremely poor, if anything. With limited interventions on the structural nodes it is possible to solve important problems already evident for small seismic events that preclude the structural safety.
The sismabonus is also applicable in cases of demolition and reconstruction with different shape and volume, thus favoring in an important way the investment of real estate development.
What services do we offer?
