How to choose a reliable office renovation specialist

The right contractor determines everything — quality, deadlines, and peace of mind for your team.
Follow these essential steps to avoid stress and unnecessary costs:

1. Check documents and experience.
   Confirm that the contractor is licensed (autorizado) for electrical, air conditioning, and plumbing work.
   Request civil liability insurance (seguro de responsabilidad civil) — it protects you in case of property damage.
   Ask to see real photos of previous office projects and client reviews.
   Professionals are transparent — they’ll happily show their portfolio and explain past projects.
    

2. Compare more than just prices.
   Request a detailed presupuesto (quote) showing:
   – cost of each work stage;
   – materials included and estimated time;
   – additional services (cleaning, delivery, waste removal).
   If one quote is much cheaper, something’s missing — materials, stages, or reliability. Transparency and guarantees are worth more than the lowest offer.
    

3. Sign a written contract.
   Even for small projects, always sign a contract. It should include:
   – project scope, timeline, and cost;
   – payment schedule by stages;
   – warranty terms and conditions for fixing defects.
   All changes (extra work, delays, material swaps) must be confirmed in writing.
    

4. Monitor progress.
   Ask for a timeline and photo updates.
   Check the quality of finishing, electrical installation, lighting, and ventilation.
   Good contractors proactively schedule mid-stage inspections and give material advice.
    

5. Inspect results and keep contacts.
   Do the final walkthrough in person: make sure everything works, walls are even, and there’s no dust or paint residue.
   Ask for a completion report and warranty confirmation.
   Keep your contractor’s contact — you may need small touch-ups or maintenance later.
