Why with architects

A full renovation adds value to your home in every sense

A full renovation is one of the most important decisions you can make about a home. Well planned, it improves the layout, comfort, energy efficiency and value of the property. Having an architect on board from the start is the best way to make sure the result, the cost and the timeline are the ones you expect: we resolve the structure, the services and the permit before work begins, and compare contractors’ quotes on the same project.

That is why we always start by getting to know the existing condition well, define the project with you in all the necessary detail and follow the works closely until the keys are handed over.

What we guarantee

  • A design adapted to the way you live.
  • A detailed, itemised budget before work starts.
  • Management of licences and permits.
  • Quality materials and efficient solutions.
  • Site supervision with constant follow-up.

How we work

From the first visit to handing over the keys

A single point of contact throughout the process, with clear phases and decisions made on time.

1. Existing condition

We visit the home, carry out a measured survey and identify structural and building-services constraints.

2. Design and project

We propose the layout, finishes and services, with visualisations so you can decide with confidence.

3. Permit and quotes

We handle the permit application and request comparable quotes from trusted contractors.

4. Works and handover

We supervise the works, control cost, time and quality, and hand over the finished home.

What’s included

Everything your renovation needs, coordinated by one team

Depending on your case, the renovation may include reconfiguring spaces, creating openings in load-bearing walls, complete renewal of services, improved insulation and windows, new kitchens and bathrooms, and bespoke finishes.

If you want even tighter control of the cost, we can manage the works as construction manager, contracting trade by trade, or help you compare quotes from contractors based on consistent bills of quantities.

Projects

Home renovations we have designed and managed

Every full renovation starts from a different home and a different way of living. These are some of the flats and houses we have renovated as architects, from the survey of the existing condition to the handover of the keys. In each project we explain what the home was like, what we decided and how it turned out.

Van realitzar la rehabilitació de la nostra casa unifamiliar a Piera. Havíem fet altres obres i ja sabíem el complicat que pot arribar a ser. Però amb ells hem acabat molt satisfets amb el projecte i el control del constructor que varen fer durant la obra. Els recomanem a tothom.Read moreRead less

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about full renovations

It depends on the floor area, the condition of the home, the materials and the complexity of the project. We prepare a quote tailored to your case, plus VAT.

Not always for new finishes, but as soon as a full renovation changes the layout, alters the structure, renews the services or needs a permit, the architect is the one who signs the technical project and manages the works. With a complete project you can also ask several contractors for comparable quotes and know from the outset what you will pay.

A survey of the existing condition, a layout proposal, a project with drawings, measurements and an itemised budget, the permit or works notification, help choosing a contractor and site supervision until the keys are handed over. You can hire the whole process or only the stages you need.

It depends on the scope, but the works usually take between 3 and 6 months. On top of that comes the time needed for the project and the permit.

It depends on the type of renovation: changing finishes is not the same as reconfiguring the layout or altering the structure. In Barcelona, most interior renovations are processed as a works notification (comunicat d’obres); if the renovation affects the structure or the façade, a technical project signed by the architect is also required. We handle the whole process so that work can start as soon as possible.

It depends on the council and the type of work. Renovations that do not affect the structure or the façade are usually processed with a prior notification, which lets you start within days or weeks. Those that need a full permit can take several months. In the preliminary study we tell you which procedure applies and the usual timescale in your municipality.

Yes, and it is the best time to do it: with the works under way, insulation, windows and services can be upgraded at a lower cost. We suggest the improvements that pay off most; if you want to go further, see our energy retrofit service.

We work with quality materials and sustainable options, and help you choose according to your budget and how each space will be used.

Yes, with the corresponding calculations and structural support (apeo) project. We assess it during the existing-condition phase to find out whether it is feasible and how much it costs.
