What Cédric Magnan offers English speakers in Cannes

Cédric Magnan draws plans and assembles planning applications, which is a different trade from building and the one people usually cannot find. The work covers architectural drawings, permis de construire files, and execution drawings, delivered with 3D models that clients repeatedly say let them picture the result before committing. The recurring theme is that his files are built to what the mairie actually wants: one client notes the plans and documents were properly adapted to the town hall's requirements and that he is well regarded by the planning office, which is the difference between a permit granted and a permit returned.

The record includes a building elevation project in Cannes, a house extension run entirely at a distance during Covid, and a new-build on a difficult plot where permission came through quickly. English speakers are served: one describes getting his cave converted into a bedroom, with advice covering the copropriété authorisation the conversion needed, and calls the English an added bonus. Anybody altering an apartment in a shared building in France will hit that consent requirement, and not being warned about it is how projects stall. His pricing is described as honest by several clients, and he is credited with knowing the urbanisme rules in detail. There is a Russian-language thank-you in the record too.
