PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Build and renovation management in Spain

Renovating a property or managing a build project in a foreign country is a significant undertaking. Language barriers, local regulations, unfamiliar building practices and the simple impossibility of being on site every day can turn what should be an exciting project into an expensive source of stress. Quantum Realty removes this problem entirely.

We offer a full project management service for renovations and new builds on the Costa del Sol — from the initial planning conversation through to final handover. You have one point of contact throughout. We coordinate with architects and contractors, monitor progress, manage quality control, handle permit applications and keep you fully informed at every stage.

What we manage

We oversee complete renovations across the Costa del Sol — from full gut refurbishments to targeted improvements such as kitchen and bathroom upgrades, pool installations, or terrace extensions. We work with a trusted network of proven local contractors and a fixed architect we have used for many years.

For those building on their own plot, we can manage the entire new build process: obtaining architectural plans, submitting for planning permission, tendering to contractors, managing the build programme and delivering to completion.

WHAT WE HANDLE

  • Full renovation project management
  • New build management on your plot
  • Permit applications & planning
  • Architect & contractor coordination
  • Quality control & progress reporting
  • Photo updates at agreed intervals

WHY IT MATTERS

Get permits right from the start

One of the most common mistakes buyers make when renovating in Spain is proceeding without correct permits. Building regulations on the Costa del Sol are specific, enforcement has increased significantly, and the consequences can be severe:

  • Unpermitted work can make it difficult or impossible to resell the property.
  • Fines from the local authority can significantly exceed the cost of the permit process.
  • In extreme cases, demolition orders can be issued for structures built without planning permission.

Quantum Realty's 35-year history in this market means we navigate this landscape correctly every time. Contact us to discuss your project.

THE PROCESS

From first conversation to final handover

01

Consultation

We discuss your goals, timeline and budget. We assess what permits will be needed and whether your project is feasible within your constraints.

02

Design & planning

We work with our architect to produce plans and obtain any required permits. This stage is non-negotiable and protects you throughout ownership.

03

Contractor selection

We tender to our trusted contractor network and present you with a clear proposal. We do not work with unknown contractors on client projects.

04

Build phase

Works begin. We are on site regularly and you receive photo updates and written reports at agreed intervals throughout.

05

Quality control

As works near completion we conduct a snagging inspection. Any issues are addressed before handover. Standards are non-negotiable.

06

Handover

You receive a completed property with all permits filed and paperwork in order. Your project is done. No loose ends.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Yes — this is exactly what our service is designed for. Many of our clients manage the entire process from the UK, the Netherlands, or elsewhere in Europe without visiting during works.

Not always. Minor works that do not affect the structure or exterior can often proceed under a simplified notification. For structural changes, extensions, pools or new builds, full planning permission is required. We assess this at the outset.

A kitchen or bathroom renovation might take four to six weeks. A full property refurbishment typically takes three to six months. We provide a realistic timeline at the planning stage.

Our fee is calculated as a percentage of the total project cost. We provide this transparently at the outset with no hidden additions. Contact us to discuss your specific project.
