Project Management

Project management

“Passion and Perfection” is the mantra of our team. Each one of us has been through the process of buying, renovating or building a house; and we have gained a wealth of experience of all the processes involved along the way. We have the expertise needed to help you realise your dream. We all live in the area and know the best places to source the materials and personnel that will be needed for your project. We will oversee your whole project for you, taking the stress away from you and allowing you to enjoy your journey towards having your dream home here in the Valley of Happiness, without having to lose your hair doing so.

We will meet with you to discover the lifestyle you are envisioning, whatever it may be, and help you design your home with that in mind. If you want to wake in the morning with sun streaming through your windows, enjoy watching the sun set while sipping a sundowner and dipping into tapas or spend time painting with the best possible light, all can be incorporated by the architects into your design.

After you have agreed your plans we will liaise with the architects during the building process and give you regular feedback throughout the process, by whatever means suits you

best; Skype, videos, written messages or photographs with today’s technology you can feel as if you are on-site. No matter how large or small the project, we will work with the same dedication and passion to meet your needs.

Your stress will be taken off your shoulders and borne by us.

Project costs.

The average cost of a 150m2 house with standard fittings would be approximately 90,000 euros, plus taxes and architect’s fees.

Architects.

We work with creative and passionate architects who will listen to you and translate your ideas into detailed plans of your new home.

Builders.

Our builders are local professionals with a wealth of experience gained through working on many different projects, including our own house. You will soon be using their nicknames and they will become your friends. Spanish and British builders have the same sense of humour so being on-site is always good fun with lots of laughter and bonhomie.

Interior Design.

The final stage is to decorate your home. We can create many different ‘feels’ from an open fireplace with cosy sofas for reading and relaxing with a glass of wine, to modern open-plan areas with terraces to enjoy the breezes of the valley and the aroma of jasmine and orange blossom. Again, we know all local sources for finding whatever you want for your new home.

Timings.

A licence is needed for each new build and this process begins when the architect’s plans have been finalised. The plans have to go through the College of Architects in Granada and also through the local Town Hall. This process usually takes 4-6 weeks and as soon as the builder has the licence he can start work. A house of 150m2 will take 3-4 months to build, excluding interior design.
