PPPT for French condominiums 2026: how does it support global renovation planning?
For global renovation planning, the PPPT 2026 prioritizes works over ten years and turns diagnostics into a phased maintenance and energy roadmap.

Navigating the Multi-Year Works Plan (PPPT) for French Condominiums
The projet de plan pluriannuel de travaux (PPPT) is a ten-year proposal for a condominium's maintenance, safety and energy improvement works. The parts adopted by co-owners form the PPT.
Since 1 January 2025, preparing and presenting a PPPT is generally required for condominiums used wholly or partly as housing where construction was completed and accepted more than fifteen years ago, regardless of size. An exemption is possible when a DTG identifies no need for works during the following ten years. Co-owners are not obliged to adopt the proposed plan.
Understanding the PPPT Mandate and Scope
The PPPT identifies necessary works, priorities, indicative costs and a proposed ten-year schedule. It applies to the residential or mixed-use buildings within the statutory age threshold; it is not an unconditional requirement for every condominium.
It is based on analysis of the building and its equipment, the DPE where required, and a DTG if one has been prepared. A DTG is not a systematically mandatory preliminary study. The plan must be updated every ten years.
- Residential or mixed-use condominium with completion accepted more than fifteen years ago.
- All condominium sizes covered since 1 January 2025.
- Possible exemption where a DTG identifies no works needed for ten years.
- Preparing and presenting the proposal is mandatory; adoption remains a co-owner decision.
Key Components and Development Process
The syndic arranges a professional assessment of the building and equipment, collects available diagnostics and commissions the PPPT under the arrangements approved by the general meeting. The professional must have the required skills, independence and insurance.
The proposal lists necessary works by priority, with indicative estimates and a timetable. It is presented at the next annual general meeting after preparation. Co-owners may adopt all or part of it, modify it or reject it; adoption does not replace the later votes on individual works and financing.
The Fonds de Travaux and Financial Implications
The fonds de travaux is a separate statutory savings mechanism. Its scope and exemptions must be checked for the condominium; it should not be described as an unconditional obligation for every building.
Where a PPT has been adopted, the minimum annual contribution must meet both thresholds: 2.5% of the estimated works in the adopted plan and 5% of the provisional annual budget. Without an adopted PPT, the minimum is generally 5% of the provisional budget. Co-owners may vote for a higher contribution, subject to the applicable rules.
- Check the works fund's statutory scope and any exemption.
- With an adopted PPT, both minimum contribution thresholds apply.
- Keep the savings plan distinct from votes authorising works and financing.
Voting and Implementation in the Assemblée Générale
The arrangements for preparing the PPPT are approved by a simple majority under article 24. Adoption of all or part of the proposal requires the majority of the votes of all co-owners under article 25, subject to applicable second-vote rules.
Once adopted, the PPT becomes the condominium's reference programme. The planned works, their financing and the syndic's fees still require the relevant subsequent votes. If adoption or implementation remains unresolved, the syndic must bring the relevant questions back to the annual meeting.
Frequently asked questions
The primary purpose of the PPPT is to establish a long-term, strategic plan for the maintenance, preservation, and improvement of French condominiums. It aims to anticipate future works, particularly those related to energy efficiency and structural integrity, and to ensure adequate financial provisions are made through the fonds de travaux.
Since 1 January 2025, the requirement generally covers all condominium sizes used wholly or partly as housing, where completion was accepted more than fifteen years ago. A DTG showing no need for works over the following ten years can provide an exemption.
The works fund helps finance future collective expenditure. With an adopted PPT, the annual contribution must be at least 2.5% of the planned works and at least 5% of the provisional budget; scope and any exemptions must also be checked.
The statutory duty concerns preparation and presentation of the proposal; co-owners may decline to adopt it. The syndic must follow the relevant meeting and agenda requirements. An adopted plan does not dispense with later decisions on works and financing.
