From design to reality
Apartment renovation in Salento
Renovating an apartment means making dozens of decisions that influence each other: systems, space distribution, permits, times, budget. My job is to take this complexity off your shoulders, with a clear project and a single point of contact from idea to delivery.
A project before the construction site, not during
Most unexpected costs arise from choices made in site at the last moment. I always start from an accurate measured survey and a defined project, with plans, views and a bill of quantities of costs: you know what you are building and how much it costs before the company lifts the first hammer.
The phases, one at a time
We start from the measured survey and the analysis of the existing layout, with the real constraints of the property and the context. The design idea follows, which takes shape in plans, sections and views; then the definitive project, with chosen materials and technical solutions; finally the executive documents, those on which the company really builds. Each step ends with a shared decision, not with a list of options left open.
First the project, then the estimates
Asking for quotes without a defined project means receiving figures that cannot be compared, because everyone imagines different processes. With clear documents and a bill of quantities of the works, companies respond on the same basis: it is clear who costs more and why.
Realistic budget, no surprises
We define a target figure together and keep it under control with a detailed bill of quantities and progress reports. If something changes, you know beforehand, not once the work is finished.
A single point of contact for everything
I follow you from the analysis of the existing layout to the design, from the choice of materials to the planning applications, up to the construction supervision in site. You don't have to coordinate different figures: you talk to me, and I coordinate the rest.
Residential and beyond
Houses, apartments and villas, but also commercial and hospitality spaces: the needs and reference standards change, not the method. In any case, the project must respond to how the space is used every day, the natural light it receives and the available budget.
Also suitable for those who don't live in Salento
Many apartments in Salento are second homes. If you are not on site, I manage site visits, feats and updates on your behalf, with periodic reports and photos of the site. It is the service also designed for those who renovate remotely.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the extent of the work. A light renovation (painting, floors, bathroom) typically takes 4-8 weeks; a complete renovation with refurbishment of systems and new distribution 6-9 months. During the project phase I give you a realistic timetable before starting.
The company builds, but does not design or assume technical responsibility for the practices. The architect defines the project, manages permits, controls quality on site and protects your interests with respect to the company. On non-trivial renovations, planning saves more than it costs.
Yes. I manage the entire process even for non-resident owners, with site visits, company coordination and remote updates. It is one of the most frequent situations for second homes in Salento.
From a site visit and a conversation: what is needed, for how many people, with what budget and in what time. Immediately afterwards I check the urban planning and land registry situation of the property, because that is what establishes what can really be done. Only at that point does it make sense to talk about drawings.
I deal with architectural design in the full sense, in residential and non-residential settings: houses and apartments, but also commercial and hospitality spaces. The renovation of apartments is the most frequent request here in Salento, which is why it has a dedicated page, but the working method is the same.
