Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to renovate a house in the Marina Alta?
As a guide, a full renovation starts at around €2,000/m² and can reach €2,500/m² with structural work, exteriors and high-end finishes — excluding town-hall fees, VAT and any technical tests or surveys the project requires. After the visit we give you a price per m² with the project included. The final budget comes once the design is closed, and it only changes if you ask for more.
How much does a full renovation cost per square metre?
In the Marina Alta, between €2,000 and €2,500/m² including the project, permit processing and the build. Council fees, deposits, preliminary surveys and insurance are extra. Below that figure something is usually missing — and what’s missing shows up later. Full breakdown in How much does a full renovation cost?.
Why does the town hall take so long to grant the building permit?
Because town halls are saturated: in Jávea, Calpe, Moraira or Benissa the wait is around 12-18 months. We sidestep it by having the project certified by the ECUV: on a full renovation that lets the work start as soon as the application is filed, without waiting for the town hall to answer (not on a new build — there you do have to wait for the permit). What cannot be shortened is drafting, certifying and filing the project: that takes 6 to 8 months, because it is a complex document and it deserves the time needed to resolve and plan it properly.
Can I follow the build if I do not live in Spain?
Yes — it is our most common case. Weekly photos, video calls and one contact person in your language. Many clients first see their finished house on key day.
Is the budget really closed?
After the visit we give you a price per m² with the project included. Once the design is closed we give you the final budget, which starts from that price. It only changes if you change the project — always in writing.
Do you take on just the interiors or just the design?
The interiors, yes. The design on its own, no: we only draw up projects for the work we build ourselves.
How often do you visit the site?
Almost every day. Site direction is not a monthly visit: it means being there when decisions happen, not when they are already tiled over.
Do you give an assessment on the first visit?
Yes. After the visit we give you a price per m² with the project included.
Do you work across the whole Costa Blanca?
We work on the Costa Blanca North: Jávea, Moraira, Teulada, Calpe, Benissa, Altea, Benitachell and the surrounding area. It is our area and we know it well — the town halls, the permit timings, the trades and how things are built here. We don’t go further south, and we would rather say so than accept a build we couldn’t direct every day.
