Step by Step

From First Call to Handover

Every project follows the same six phases, whether it is a single apartment or a full villa. Knowing what comes next means you can plan travel, payments and decisions around the works instead of reacting to them.

  1. 1

    First call and brief

    We start with a call or video call to understand the property, how you will use it, your budget and your timing. If you are still looking, we can help you find and assess a property before you commit to it.

  2. 2

    Survey and feasibility

    A site visit covers structure, roof, damp, impianti and access, along with a check that the property matches its approved plans and cadastral record. You get a clear view of what is possible and what it involves.

  3. 3

    Design, quote and permits

    With architects and, where needed, a structural engineer and interior designer, we define layout and materials, issue a detailed quote and file the CILA, SCIA or Permesso di Costruire the works require.

  4. 4

    Works on site

    Demolition and structural work come first, then impianti, plaster, screeds and floors, then joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. Your manager coordinates every trade and supplier so one stage hands cleanly to the next.

  5. 5

    Snagging and inspections

    Before handover we walk through every room with a checklist, test each system and log every defect, however small, until it is put right.

  6. 6

    Handover

    You receive the keys with the documents for the works, the impianti and the warranties, so the property is ready to live in, let or sell.

Managing Your Project From Abroad

Owners who live abroad need updates they can act on, not just pictures. Every weekly update follows the same structure, so you can read it in a few minutes and know exactly where things stand.

What each weekly update contains

  • Photos and short videos taken from the same points in each room, so progress is easy to compare
  • What was completed this week and what is planned for the next
  • Any decision we need from you, with the date it is needed by
  • Budget status against the agreed quote, including approved variations

A fuller monthly report sums up progress against the schedule, and video calls are available on request, including live walkthroughs of the site when you want to see a detail for yourself.

How Decisions and Variations Are Handled

Most budget overruns start with a choice made on the spot or a change nobody priced. We remove both.

Decisions

Choices such as tiles, taps, door handles or the position of sockets are listed in advance, each with the date it is needed to keep the schedule. We send photos, samples or links, you choose, and the choice is confirmed in writing before anything is ordered. Nothing is decided on site by word of mouth.

Variations

If you change your mind, or opening a wall reveals something nobody could see, we price it first. You receive the cost and the effect on the timeline in writing, and that item goes ahead only once you approve it. Approved variations then appear in the budget tracking next to the original quote.

Snagging and Handover

A project is finished when the paperwork is finished too, not on the day the builders leave. The last weeks are spent closing every open point.

Snagging

  • Walkthrough of every room against the agreed drawings and finishes
  • Testing of electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems
  • A written snag list with photos, closed item by item
  • A final check with you, on site or by video call

Documents you receive

  • As-built drawings of the finished property
  • Declarations of conformity (dichiarazioni di conformità) for each system
  • The end-of-works filing for the permits used
  • The cadastral update when the layout has changed
  • Warranties and manuals for windows, appliances and systems
