The Legal & Technical Side

What Massachusetts Condo Conversion Requires

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 183A, converting a property to condominium ownership requires a master deed recorded at the Registry of Deeds, accompanied by floor plans that show the layout, location, dimensions, and boundaries of each unit — verified by a registered architect, engineer, or land surveyor.

Beyond the paperwork, a smart conversion starts with an honest structural and code assessment: fire separation between units, egress compliance, mechanical/electrical/plumbing separation, and any deferred maintenance that could slow down closing or scare off buyers.

Lebra Engineering & Design handles both sides — the certified floor plans your attorney needs for the master deed, and the structural due diligence that protects your investment.

Condo Conversion FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What engineering documents are required for a Massachusetts condo conversion?
Chapter 183A requires a master deed with floor plans showing each unit's layout, dimensions, and boundaries, verified by a registered architect or engineer, and recorded at the Registry of Deeds.
Do you provide the certified floor plans required for the master deed?
Yes. We prepare and certify the as-built floor plans required under M.G.L. c.183A §8(c) for recording with your master deed at the Registry of Deeds.
Is a structural inspection required before converting to condos?
It isn't always legally mandated, but a structural assessment is strongly recommended — and often required by lenders and attorneys — to identify code issues, fire separation gaps, or deferred maintenance before recording.
How long does condo conversion engineering take?
Most floor plans and structural assessments are completed within 2–3 weeks, depending on building size and available documentation.
Can you work with our real estate attorney on the master deed package?
