How to choose a good builder
Check experience and reviews.
Review completed projects, ask for photos of previous homes, and find out how long the company or builder has been in the trade. A reliable professional will always have real examples of their work.
Verify licenses and insurance.
In Spain, builders must hold an autorizado license and seguro de responsabilidad civil (civil liability insurance). This ensures compliance with safety standards and protects you from risk.
Compare estimates carefully.
Ask for a detailed quotation broken down by stages — materials, labor, and timing. This helps avoid hidden costs and unexpected add-ons later.
Put everything in writing.
Sign a contract that includes deadlines, total cost, guarantees, and responsibilities. This is your main protection as a client.
Pay attention to communication.
A good builder keeps you informed, explains processes clearly, and stays in touch throughout the project.
Avoid choosing the cheapest offer.
Suspiciously low prices often mean poor materials or unlicensed work. It’s better to pay a bit more for quality and peace of mind.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
▸ How much does it cost to build a house in Spain?
It depends on materials, design, and location — on average from €800 to €1,500 per m².
Frame and aerated concrete homes are usually cheaper than stone or chalet-style houses.
▸ What’s included in a “turnkey” build?
A full cycle: design, foundation, walls, roofing, electrics, plumbing, finishing, and utility connections.
You receive a fully ready home, move-in ready.
▸ Do I need a project and building permit?
Yes, both are mandatory. Without a project and licencia de obra mayor, construction cannot begin.
Our builders can help you handle all paperwork through the Ayuntamiento (local council).
▸ How long does construction take?
Typically 6–10 months, depending on size and complexity.
Frame houses can be completed in about 3–4 months.
▸ What materials are best for Spain’s climate?
For coastal areas — aerated concrete, sandwich panels, or thermoblocks (moisture-resistant).
For mountain regions — wood or stone with added insulation.
▸ Do you build energy-efficient homes?
Yes, we can install thermal insulation, solar panels, and air recovery systems.
This reduces energy consumption by up to 40–60% per year.
▸ Is there a warranty on the house?
Yes, standard warranties are 5–10 years for structure and at least 1 year for finishes.
▸ How is payment made?
In stages: initial deposit, after the foundation, after the structure, and before completion.
All stages are documented in the contract.
▸ Can I order a custom project?
Yes, an architect will design a unique project for your plot, style, and budget.
You can also adapt an existing design to local regulations.
▸ Do you work throughout Spain?
Yes, builders are available in all regions — Madrid, Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands.
▸ Can a house be built in winter?
Yes, with modern materials and techniques, construction can continue year-round.
In colder areas, special insulated materials and mixes are used.
▸ Who supervises construction quality?
A technical architect (arquitecto técnico) and site manager (jefe de obra) carry out regular inspections and reports.
▸ Can the house be connected to a garage or terrace?
Yes, that’s a common option. The design can be expanded by up to 30% of the area without re-zoning the plot.
▸ Can I build a house for rental purposes?
Yes, many clients build houses with two entrances or guest apartments — ideal for investment.
▸ How do I register my house after completion?
Once the work is finished, you receive a Certificado Final de Obra and register the property in the Catastro.
The builder or architect can help with the process.
▸ Can you help me choose a plot?
Yes, some specialists offer consultations to assess the land, soil, and access to utilities.
▸ Can a pool be built together with the house?
Yes, it’s a common addition — often built alongside the foundation.
▸ How can I tell if a builder is trustworthy?
Check their license, insurance, and reviews. Reputable professionals are transparent and work officially.
▸ Can construction be financed with a loan or mortgage?
Yes, many Spanish banks offer autopromotor loans for private homebuilding projects.
