Our base of operations in Barcelona allows us to serve with equal dedication a flat in the Eixample and a residential building in the metropolitan area. We do not subcontract what matters: our in-house team guarantees technical consistency, smooth communication and uniform results.

LEARN MORE →04 — Method
A process built on order,
without surprises.
We work with transparency from the very first contact. We define everything before we begin so the project moves forward without unexpected issues or deviations.
Project assessment
We analyse your real needs and the current condition of the space. We listen before we propose, because every project begins with a thorough understanding of the brief.
Proposal and planning
We define materials, phases, timescales and a fixed budget. No small print, no surprises. Everything in writing and agreed before a single task begins.
Construction execution
We coordinate our own professionals and control every detail with rigour and punctuality. The client has a direct point of contact at all times to address any queries.
Final handover
We review finishes, address any outstanding items and deliver the completed project exactly as agreed. The warranty period covers any subsequent issues.

Finishes · Natural wood
The wood we choose.
How it ages gracefully.
We work exclusively with engineered European oak and walnut, treated with deep-penetrating natural oils. The choice is not merely aesthetic: a well-selected and properly installed floor improves with use, develops a patina and retains its structure for decades without warping or plank lifting.
In every project we specify the manufacturer, model and surface treatment in the quote. The client knows exactly what they are walking on before we begin.

06 — Why us
Reliability, judgement and craft.
We are not middlemen: we are the ones who build. Every project held to the same standard we would demand for our own home.
Full management
We take care of everything: design, permits, materials, trades and supervision. You decide what you want, we execute and coordinate everything else.
Meticulous finishes
Detail is what sets a sound project apart from an outstanding one. We demand the same level of precision from our collaborators as from our own work.
Site coordination
In-house team, realistic timelines, direct communication. We know what a poorly coordinated project costs and we take the necessary steps to prevent it from day one.
Personalised service
A direct point of contact from day one to handover. No call centres, no unnecessary delays, no being passed on to people unfamiliar with your project.
Reliability and commitment
Fixed budget, deadlines met, no unilateral changes. Our reputation is built project by project, and that compels us to be consistent at all times.
Architectural vision
We do not build without thinking. Every technical decision takes into account space, light, use and durability, because the result must still work in 20 years.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need
to know before you begin.
We answer the most common questions. If you cannot find what you are looking for, call or write to us.
How long does a full apartment renovation take?
It depends on the size and scope of the works. A flat of 80–100 m² with a full renovation of bathrooms, kitchen, floors and paintwork typically takes 8–12 weeks. For larger projects or those involving structural work, the timeline may extend. In the initial proposal we set a detailed phase-by-phase schedule that is updated weekly during execution.
Can you live in the flat during the renovation?
For partial renovations (bathroom or kitchen only) many clients remain in the property. For full renovations, we recommend the property be vacated to speed up the work, ensure safety and avoid interference with the trades. We work within hours that minimise disruption to neighbours and strictly comply with municipal working-hour regulations.
Are quotes fixed or subject to change?
Our quotes are fixed and signed before any work begins. Variations are only applied if the client requests changes to the original project, or if unforeseen structural issues not visible during the initial site visit are discovered during execution (such as hidden damp or undisclosed defective installations). Any modification is quoted separately and requires the client's written approval before being carried out.
Do you handle building permits?
Yes. Through our architecture studio we handle all administrative procedures: prior notification, minor or major works permits depending on the project scope, coordination with the owners' community and notification to Barcelona City Council. The client does not need to manage any bureaucratic process themselves.
What warranty do your projects carry?
We apply the statutory warranties set out in the Spanish Building Act: 10 years for structural defects, 3 years for defects affecting habitability and 1 year for finishes. In addition, we offer a 6-month after-sales service period during which we address any adjustment issues at no extra cost to the client.
Do you work with homeowners' communities?
Yes, we have extensive experience working with homeowners' communities and property managers. From facade refurbishment and terrace waterproofing to the replacement of shared installations (lifts, plumbing, electrical systems). We prepare technical reports and detailed quotes for presentation at owners' meetings and coordinate with IBI and available public grants for refurbishment.
