Frequently Asked Questions

What type of properties do you renovate?
We specialize in old Lisbon buildings, mainly apartments and small buildings in historic neighborhoods like Estrela, Alfama, Príncipe Real, and Campo de Ourique. We work with properties requiring complete renovation, from structure to finishes, as well as partial modernization projects that preserve original elements such as tiles, wooden floors, and ornate ceilings.
How long does a typical renovation take?
The timeline varies depending on project size and complexity. A complete apartment renovation typically takes 4 to 8 months, including permits. More complex projects involving structural changes or entire buildings may extend to 12–18 months. We always provide a detailed schedule before work begins and maintain regular communication about progress.
How do you handle municipal licensing?
We coordinate the entire licensing process with Lisbon City Council, working with specialized architects and technicians to ensure legal compliance. This includes preparation of architectural projects, building permit applications, energy certifications, and all necessary communications with relevant authorities. Our experience with municipal processes allows us to anticipate requirements and avoid unnecessary delays.
Can I follow the progress of the works?
Yes, we provide regular reports with photos and detailed updates. We also organize site visits at key project milestones, such as after demolition, during technical installations, and before final finishes. For international clients, we offer video calls and more frequent photographic documentation to ensure full visibility even from afar.
Do you only work in Lisbon?
Our main focus is Lisbon, especially the historic neighborhoods where we have the most experience and an established network of local craftsmen and suppliers. For larger special projects or those with unique characteristics, we also consider work in Porto, Coimbra, and Cascais, always maintaining the same quality standards and oversight.
What is the minimum investment required?
Each project is unique and the investment depends on location, size, and property condition. As a reference, a complete renovation of a 2-bedroom apartment in Lisbon typically ranges between €300,000 and €450,000, excluding acquisition cost. Larger-scale projects or those with premium finishes may have higher values. Contact us for a personalized assessment and detailed no-obligation quote.
