Marek Wiśniewski

Concrete analyst for difficult plots

Marek joined Casacombug Urban Lobby in March 2018. He came to us directly from local government administration, where for 7 years he handled issuing development condition decisions. This means he knows official procedures from the inside and knows where blockages most often occur. In 2024 alone, Marek conducted analysis for 43 investments in Poznań and surrounding municipalities, such as Komorniki or Tarnowo Podgórne. With him, the paperwork must be correct to the millimeter, otherwise the office will reject the application at the start.

His main task is checking how much you can realistically squeeze out of a given plot. He doesn't make empty promises. If the local plan allows for 3 floors, Marek will not delude you with a fourth. He will instead focus on how to move the building line by those 1.4 meters so you can fit an additional 23 m2 of usable residential area (PUM) on each floor. Last quarter, his analyses helped our clients avoid purchasing 3 sites that had hidden legal defects making construction impossible.

How Marek works on your project

Marek doesn't like unnecessary moves. When he gets a plot number, he starts with hard historical data and elevation analysis. At Casacombug Urban Lobby, we believe that concrete facts on the table are the foundation, so Marek prepares reports that have an average of 14 pages of specific calculations, not fluff about architectural visions. Here is what he usually takes to task:

• Verification of access to public roads and utilities based on fundamental maps.
• Analysis of shading and obscuring, which often blocks investments in Poznań's dense development.
• Checking biologically active area indicators (he finds errors in an average of 1 in 9 preliminary designs).
• Preparing argumentation for appeals from negative decisions.

Sometimes Marek is brutally honest. If a project is unrealistic in the current political setup of the office, he will tell you straight to your face after the first hour of analysis. We know these procedures and we know that time is money for a developer – specifically about 1450 PLN in financial costs for each day of delay for a medium-sized investment. Marek ensures that these numbers don't grow through paperwork errors.

Privately, Marek lives in Jeżyce and is passionate about the history of Poznań tenements. (Heads-up: Don't ask him about the renovation of old windows, because he can talk about it for two hours without a break). At work, however, he is focused exclusively on figures and construction law. If Marek says an application will go through the department in 47 days, that is usually exactly what happens. No unnecessary moves and no unnecessary stress for the investor.
