1Under the Greek New Building Regulation (Νέος Οικοδομικός Κανονισμός - ΝΟΚ, Law 4067/2012), how is the Building Factor (Συντελεστής Δόμησης - Σ.Δ.) defined?
A.The ratio of the total allowable gross above-ground building floor area to the total surface area of the building plot
B.The percentage of the plot area that may be covered by the building footprint at ground level
C.The maximum permissible structural volume of the building divided by the street width
D.The ratio of the net usable residential area to the underground basement storage area
Explanation: Under Law 4067/2012 (NOK), the Building Factor (Συντελεστής Δόμησης - Σ.Δ.) is the fundamental planning parameter that multiplies the surface area of the building plot to determine the maximum allowable total above-ground building floor area (δόμηση) that can be legally erected on the site.
2Under Law 4495/2017, what is the mandatory legal instrument required for any valid notarial deed of property transfer, conveyance, or mortgage in Greece?
A.Certificate of Completeness of the Electronic Building Identity (Πιστοποιητικό Πληρότητας ΗΤΚ) issued by an authorized engineer
B.Preliminary building permit pre-approval from the municipal building authority (ΥΔΟΜ)
C.Environmental impact clearance decision from the Ministry of Environment and Energy
D.Structural Adequacy Certificate issued directly by the Technical Chamber of Greece central council
Explanation: Law 4495/2017 establishes that no inter vivos property transfer, deed, or creation of real property right can occur without a Certificate of Completeness of the Electronic Building Identity (Πιστοποιητικό Πληρότητας Ηλεκτρονικής Ταυτότητας Κτιρίου/Διηρημένης Ιδιοκτησίας), signed by an engineer certifying that no unauthorized arbitrary works exist.
3In the electronic building permit system (e-Adeies) operated by TEE, which administrative document authorizes minor construction interventions such as facade repairs, solar water heater installations, and low-scale scaffolding?
A.Approval of Small-Scale Building Works (Έγκριση Εργασιών Δόμησης Μικρής Κλίμακας - ΕΕΔΜΚ)
B.Standard Category 1 Building Permit (Οικοδομική Άδεια Κατηγορίας 1)
C.Special Architectural Exemption Certificate (Βεβαίωση Ειδικής Αρχιτεκτονικής Εξαίρεσης)
D.Municipal Urban Operation Notification (Γνωστοποίηση Δημοτικής Λειτουργίας)
Explanation: Under Law 4495/2017 and Ministerial Decisions, minor interventions that do not alter the structural frame or exceed statutory budget thresholds are authorized via an Approval of Small-Scale Building Works (ΕΕΔΜΚ), processed electronically through the e-Adeies platform without requiring a full building permit.
4Under the Greek Fire Protection Regulation for Buildings (Presidential Decree 41/2018), what constitutes a 'Fire Compartment' (Πυροδιαμέρισμα)?
A.A building space enclosed by fire-resisting building elements designed to contain fire and smoke for a specified minimum duration
B.A dedicated room containing the central electrical generator and emergency diesel fuel storage
C.The designated outdoor assembly area where occupants gather following an evacuation
D.A subterranean storage vault constructed exclusively of precast refractory ceramics
Explanation: According to Presidential Decree 41/2018, a fire compartment (πυροδιαμέρισμα) is a defined interior section of a building enclosed by fire-resistant boundaries (walls, floors, fire doors) with a specified fire resistance rating (e.g., REI 60, REI 120) to prevent the spread of fire to adjacent parts of the building.
5Under Article 26 of NOK (Law 4067/2012), what is the maximum permissible continuous gradient for a pedestrian ramp designed to provide universal accessibility for persons with disabilities (ΑμεΑ)?
A.5% (1:20)
B.12% (1:8.3)
C.18% (1:5.5)
D.25% (1:4)
Explanation: Article 26 of NOK and Greek technical accessibility guidelines stipulate that pedestrian ramps providing accessibility for persons with disabilities must have a maximum slope of 5% for long runs. Under tight spatial constraints for short runs up to 1.50 m, a gradient of up to 6% or 8% may be permitted, but 5% is the standard regulatory benchmark.
6In Greek urban planning legislation, what distinguishes the 'Street Line' (Ρυμοτομική Γραμμή) from the 'Building Line' (Οικοδομική Γραμμή)?
A.The Street Line separates the public street from private land, whereas the Building Line defines the boundary beyond which buildings cannot extend toward the street
B.The Street Line is set by the property owner, whereas the Building Line is determined by the contractor during foundation excavation
C.The Building Line always coincides with the cadastral parcel boundary, whereas the Street Line marks the centerline of underground municipal utilities
D.The Street Line dictates the maximum permissible building height, whereas the Building Line defines the depth of subterranean basements
Explanation: In Greek town planning, the Street Alignment Line (Ρυμοτομική Γραμμή) separates common public urban spaces (streets, squares) from private building plots. The Building Line (Οικοδομική Γραμμή) sets the front setback boundary for construction; when they do not coincide, the area between them forms the front setback / yard (πρασιά).
7An engineer is preparing an architectural study for an urban plot of 800 m² where the approved Building Factor (Σ.Δ.) is 1.20 and the maximum Coverage Factor (Συντελεστής Κάλυψης) is 60%. What are the maximum allowable above-ground building floor area and maximum ground footprint coverage?
A.960 m² total allowable floor area and 480 m² ground footprint coverage
B.800 m² total allowable floor area and 600 m² ground footprint coverage
C.1,200 m² total allowable floor area and 480 m² ground footprint coverage
D.960 m² total allowable floor area and 640 m² ground footprint coverage
Explanation: The maximum allowable total above-ground building floor area is calculated as Plot Area × Σ.Δ. = 800 m² × 1.20 = 960 m². The maximum ground coverage is Plot Area × Coverage Factor = 800 m² × 0.60 = 480 m².
8Under Article 96 of Law 4495/2017, how are arbitrary constructions (αυθαίρετες κατασκευές) in exclusively residential use (αποκλειστική χρήση την κατοικία) that were completed before 9 June 1975 treated?
A.Category 1 — definitively exempted from demolition on payment of a €250 fee (παράβολο) and with no single special fine (ενιαίο ειδικό πρόστιμο)
B.Category 2 — definitively exempted from demolition, but only on payment of both the fee and the single special fine
C.Category 5 — sanctions merely suspended for 30 years, with no route to definitive exemption
D.Category 3 — treated as a small violation (μικρή παράβαση) regardless of the size or date of the construction
Explanation: Article 96 of Law 4495/2017 places arbitrary constructions in exclusively residential use that were completed before 9 June 1975 in Category 1. They are subordinated to the law and definitively exempted from demolition on payment of a flat €250 fee (παράβολο), with no single special fine calculated per square metre. Where horizontal or vertical ownership has been established, the declaration must be filed per individual property.
9Under Article 11 of NOK (Law 4067/2012), which architectural feature is excluded from the calculation of the Building Factor (Σ.Δ.) up to a maximum total of 20% of the permissible building area?
A.Open semi-outdoor spaces (ημιυπαίθριοι χώροι)
B.Enclosed primary residential living rooms and kitchens
C.Commercial ground-floor retail display areas
D.Elevated penthouse master bedroom suites
Explanation: Article 11, paragraph 6 of NOK provides that open semi-outdoor spaces (ημιυπαίθριοι χώροι) with at least one open side to an uncovered space are excluded from the building factor calculation, provided their total area does not exceed 20% of the permitted building area.
10Under NOK (Law 4067/2012, Article 14 — Θέση κτιρίου και εγκαταστάσεων), what formula gives the minimum setback distance Δ that a building of height H must keep from the rear boundary of the plot?
A.Δ = 3.00 m + 0.10 × H
B.Δ = 2.50 m + 0.05 × H
C.Δ = 1.00 m + 0.20 × H
D.Δ = 4.50 m + 0.15 × H
Explanation: NOK Article 14 requires the elevation facing the rear boundary of the plot to stand at least distance Δ = 3.00 m + 0.10 × H from it, where H is the maximum height actually built if the building factor is exhausted, or otherwise the maximum permitted height. The smaller distance δ = 2.50 m + 0.05 × H governs the separate case of a common side boundary where the neighbouring building stands more than one metre from that boundary and has openings on that side.

About the TEE Engineer License Exam

The Technical Chamber of Greece (ΤΕΕ) Professional Engineer Licence examination is the statutory licensing assessment required by Law 1225/1981 and Joint Ministerial Decision (ΚΥΑ) ΕΔ5/4/339/1984. It is an oral examination conducted in Greek before a three-member committee. Passing it grants the Licence to Practise the Engineering Profession (Άδεια Άσκησης Επαγγέλματος) and enrols the engineer automatically in the TEE Members Registry (Μητρώο Μελών ΤΕΕ), which is what authorises them to sign technical studies, obtain building permits via e-Adeies, supervise construction works and carry legal responsibility. This practice bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation of that subject matter, not a simulation of the oral examination.

Exam sponsor: Technical Chamber of Greece (Τεχνικό Επιμελητήριο Ελλάδας - ΤΕΕ). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Technical Chamber of Greece (ΤΕΕ) Professional Engineer License?

The TEE Professional Engineer License (Άδεια Άσκησης Επαγγέλματος) is the statutory professional qualification granted by the Technical Chamber of Greece under Law 1225/1981 and Law 1486/1984. It confers legal title and authorization to practice engineering independently in Greece, submit official studies, sign building permits, and enroll in the official Registry of Engineers (Μητρώο Μελών ΤΕΕ).

How is the TEE engineering licensure examination conducted?

Under Joint Ministerial Decision (ΚΥΑ) ΕΔ5/4/339/1984 as amended, the licence is granted after oral examinations (προφορικές εξετάσεις) before a three-member Examination Committee (Τριμελής Εξεταστική Επιτροπή) assisted by a secretary. First-time candidates choose either examination based on their 5-year diploma thesis, where the committee may broaden the questioning to confirm the candidate's competence, or examination on three of the five modules listed for their specialty in §7 of the decision. TEE may announce the examinations up to three times a year and ran three sessions in 2026. They take place at TEE offices in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Kavala, Volos, Chania, Komotini and Ioannina; remote assessment is permitted, and for the June–July 2026 session the Athens, Thessaloniki and Patra centres examined exclusively remotely.

Who is eligible to participate in the TEE licensure examination?

Graduates holding a recognized 5-year engineering diploma (Integrated Master, Level 7 EQF) from a Greek university polytechnic school, or foreign engineering graduates whose degree and equivalence have been officially validated and recognized by DOATAP (ΔΟΑΤΑΠ), are eligible to submit an electronic application through the TEE online portal.

What fees are required to sit the TEE exam and obtain the license?

The participation fee (παράβολο συμμετοχής) is €30.05 — €29.35 plus 2.4% stamp duty. Candidates who are not yet TEE members also pay the €20 registration right and the €20 annual subscription for the current year, which come to €40.96 with stamp duty, so a new member pays €71.01 in total. Candidates re-sitting after a failure, and existing members being examined in a second specialty, pay only the €30.05 participation fee and should ask TEE to adjust the amount before paying.

What is the passing score for the TEE engineering license examination?

There is no numeric passing score. After the oral examination the three-member committee decides by majority (κατά πλειοψηφία) either that the candidate has succeeded or that they are referred back (επαναφορά) to the next examination period. Successful candidates are enrolled automatically in the TEE Members Registry once the President of TEE or of the relevant Regional Department grants the licence.

Is this practice bank an official test simulation or translation?

No. The official examination is oral and conducted in Greek — TEE states that comprehension and production of spoken Greek is required — and it has no multiple-choice component and no published item count. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation covering the engineering fundamentals, Greek technical legislation, Eurocodes and professional-practice standards that the committee examines. It is not an official translation, not a simulation of the oral examination's format or language environment, and no substitute for preparing to defend your diploma thesis or specialty modules in Greek.
