Working with us
-
We bring architectural design and residential development together.
For private clients, we design homes and coordinate their delivery through an agreed scope of services. For investors and landowners, we assess opportunities, define the residential product and structure our involvement around the development process.
Our role, responsibilities and remuneration are established in writing before each appointment.
-
We are based in Guardamar del Segura, Alicante, and consider residential projects across the Costa Blanca.
We assess each enquiry according to its location, scale and requirements, ensuring that we can provide the level of involvement the project needs.
-
Yes. Our process is designed to accommodate international clients who cannot be in Spain throughout the project.
Meetings, design reviews and progress updates can take place remotely. We agree how decisions will be made, what information you will receive and when an in-person visit would be useful.
We can also coordinate with your appointed legal, tax and financial advisers where their input is required.
-
Juan is your initial point of contact and leads the architectural and development approach.
As the project progresses, other professionals and specialists may be involved according to its requirements. Your proposal identifies the team structure, responsibilities and arrangements for communication.
-
Fees depend on the scope, scale and complexity of the appointment.
We may propose a fixed fee for a defined assessment or design stage, a staged architectural appointment, or a separate management arrangement. Development appointments may also include performance-related remuneration where expressly agreed.
Before you appoint us, you receive a written proposal setting out the services, fees, exclusions and payment schedule. Professional fees are distinguished from construction costs, statutory charges and other third-party expenses.
-
The first step is a short introductory call to discuss your plans, location, budget and intended timing.
If there is a good fit, we recommend the next stage. This may be a property or plot assessment, a design concept or a proposal for a wider appointment.
The introductory call does not commit you to a project. Detailed analysis and design work begin only after you accept a written proposal.
Homes for families & lifelong owners
-
No. You can contact us while you are exploring locations or considering a specific plot.
An early assessment can help establish whether a site appears suitable for your intended home and identify the checks needed before purchase. If you already own land, we begin by reviewing the available information and understanding your priorities.
Any search assistance, site assessment or specialist investigation is included only where agreed in our appointment.
-
Our turnkey approach brings the design and delivery process together through a clearly defined appointment.
Depending on the agreed scope, this may cover architectural design, coordination of technical specialists, planning application support, contractor procurement, construction coordination and handover.
Before work begins, we identify what is included and who is responsible for each element. Land purchase, taxes, statutory charges, legal services, finance, furniture and other third-party items are not assumed to be included unless expressly stated.
Turnkey describes the agreed scope of delivery; it does not mean that every possible cost or service is automatically included.
-
A useful budget considers the whole project, not construction alone.
Depending on your circumstances, this may include land acquisition, purchase costs, professional fees, surveys, permits, construction, external works, utilities, taxes and a contingency allowance. Furniture, financing and other personal requirements may also need separate provision.
We establish an initial budget framework around your brief and refine it as the site, design and specifications become clearer. Any published example is illustrative, not a quotation for your property.
-
The programme depends on the plot, planning requirements, design complexity, technical studies, procurement and construction.
We establish a project-specific timeline and distinguish between the stages we coordinate and those dependent on authorities, third parties or client decisions.
An early target date is a planning assumption, not a guaranteed completion date. The programme is reviewed as the project develops.
-
We begin by agreeing the brief, budget assumptions and decision-making process.
As the project develops, costs are reviewed at defined stages. Where a proposed change affects the scope, cost or programme, its implications should be assessed and approved before the additional work is instructed.
The appointment and construction arrangements establish payment milestones, approval responsibilities and the process for handling variations. The extent of our cost review and payment assessment is defined in our scope.
-
Yes. We can make long-term comfort and ease of use central to the brief.
This may involve single-level living, practical circulation, accessible bathrooms, protection from the sun, thoughtful storage and materials selected with maintenance in mind.
We discuss how you want to live now and how your needs may change, then balance those priorities with the site, architectural approach and budget.
-
Handover is an organised process rather than simply the transfer of keys.
According to our appointment, it may include a review of outstanding items, coordination of relevant documentation and an introduction to the operation and maintenance of the home.
Any post-handover involvement, follow-up visits or coordination of reported defects is defined in advance. Contractors’ and manufacturers’ obligations remain subject to their contracts and applicable requirements.
Developments for investors & landowners
-
We focus on residential opportunities where architectural quality, a clear target market and disciplined execution can support a viable project.
These may include individual homes, paired houses and small residential developments on the Costa Blanca.
We assess each opportunity on its own merits. A promising location or attractive design is not enough: the planning position, costs, demand, funding requirements and route to exit must also be considered.
-
The assessment is proportionate to the opportunity and the stage of commitment.
It may include planning and technical feasibility, site conditions, access and infrastructure, preliminary costs, market positioning, funding assumptions and development scenarios. Legal, tax and other specialist reviews are undertaken by the appropriate advisers.
We distinguish confirmed information from assumptions and outstanding checks. Where information is incomplete, the assessment identifies what must be resolved before proceeding.
-
Potentially. A land contribution can form part of a development arrangement, but its suitability depends on the property, its planning position, valuation, funding needs and the structure agreed between the parties.
Contributing land does not automatically remove the need for additional capital or mean that the landowner has no further obligations.
The proposed arrangement is evaluated before any commitment, with independent legal and tax advice where appropriate.
-
These are established through the project structure and written agreements.
The documentation should identify each party’s contribution, the basis of valuation, responsibilities, approval rights, reporting arrangements and procedures for changes or disputes.
Where relevant, it also addresses additional funding, cost overruns, delays and the consequences of a party being unable to meet its obligations.
-
Our remuneration depends on the role we undertake.
It may include fees for assessment, architecture or development management, together with a performance-related share of the outcome where agreed. These elements are identified separately so that the parties can understand what is paid during the project and what depends on its results.
Any profit participation, calculation method and payment conditions are documented for the specific operation.
-
Development involves uncertainty. Risks may include planning outcomes, unforeseen site conditions, construction costs, contractor performance, financing and changes in demand or achievable sale prices.
We assess these through project-specific assumptions, contingency allowances and alternative scenarios. They cannot be eliminated entirely.
The agreements establish how material changes are handled, who approves the response and whether additional funding or a revised strategy may be required. We do not assume that every overrun or delay can be absorbed without affecting the outcome.
-
There is no single distribution model for every project.
The agreements establish the order of payments, the treatment of project costs and finance, the return of capital and any preferred return or profit participation.
Distributions depend on the agreed conditions and the cash available. Forecast returns are not guaranteed, and a contractual priority of payment does not by itself guarantee recovery of capital.
-
Reporting arrangements are agreed at the outset and reflect the size and structure of the project.
Updates may cover programme, expenditure against budget, funding, planning, construction, sales and decisions requiring approval.
The intended exit is assessed before commitment and reviewed as the project progresses. Any material change to that strategy follows the decision-making process established in the agreements.
