The Professional Constructor plays a multi-functional role throughout the development and construction of a project. Some of the attributes are listed below:

The Client. The architect’s priority is to manage the client’s programme of needs, which is why he is the one who best knows the spatial needs of his project.

Training. The architect is a technician with the training and experience to design, coordinate and manage building projects. He knows how to optimise the available space, considering environmental care and achieving optimum value with minimum resources.

Creativity. Before presenting a proposal, the architect explores all the alternatives that adapt to the needs and budget of each client, therefore, he evaluates the economic and functional viability of his project.

The Technique. The architect, with his knowledge and experience in design, has the best conditions to present alternatives. A well-designed and constructively materialised project will be more sustainable and will require less maintenance costs.

Administration. The advantage of managing a budget is to know how much will be spent, how the money will be used and to avoid unforeseen expenses. The definition of the project and the control during the development are key to the success of your project.

Responsibility. During the construction process, the architect ensures that the work is carried out in accordance with the project and solves any unforeseen problems. In addition, he has the backing of a surety company for the issuing of guarantees.

Materials. The architect produces plans and specifications, selecting materials and finishes according to their quality, beauty, durability and cost. He can offer, depending on the budget, many alternatives

Procedures. The architect is familiar with the bureaucratic procedures before government agencies and the administrative management of each project. This facilitates the management of licences, current insurance and compliance with regulations.

Follow-up. After building your project, you can count on the appropriate and precise support for the preventive maintenance of your assets.

To know the approximate cost of a construction will vary greatly according to the following variables:

The land. where is it, what type of soil is it, etc.

The size. How many m2 will there be, are they built, are they green areas, etc.?

The construction system. Block walls or bricks? steel or concrete beams? etc.

The finishes. Tiling, floors, doors, doors, paint, markings, etc.

Documentation. Formalities with the municipality, subdivision, social security, trade union, etc.

The land. Knowing the dimensions, the type of soil and the restrictions that a property may have are conditioning factors for the project, knowing them is a point that you can use to your advantage.

The project. Carried out by a construction professional, these are the technical documents where the distribution of the spaces, dimensions and qualities are set out.

The budget and planning. It is vital that before starting you plan together with the architect how the work is going to be developed and plan it in stages, with this you will be able to organise yourself in expenses and purchase of materials, a good planning translates into peace of mind and savings.

The paperwork. It may sound simple, but you need to have some papers in order, such as:

Urban Development Certificate of the Plot.

Topographical Study.

Geotechnical Study.

Application for water, electricity and sewerage connections.

Application for Building Licence.

Plot

It will mark the whole project and design of the house.

It is not a mortgageable asset on its own, although it can be financed through loans.

Project

It is drawn up by the architect according to the plot, the proposed design and the materials chosen, in accordance with the regulations. Essential to go ahead.

Licences

In order to be able to apply for building permits (and therefore the necessary electricity and water) it is necessary to present the architect’s project. This is the legal authorisation to build.

Financing

In order to qualify for a mortgage for self-promotion, we must present the architect’s project and the municipal building permit. At present, 80% of the value of the property plus land is usually granted.

Construction

Once the building licence has been obtained, the construction of the property can begin. The future owner acts as the developer and shares responsibility with the construction company.

Certifications

In self-promotion, work is usually carried out on the basis of construction certificates. Each month, it is assessed that the signed construction has been completed and payment is made. The end of work certification marks the conclusion of the project.

Completion of the work

With the completion certificate and the registration in the land registry we can apply for the licence of first occupation. The municipal architect will assess that the regulations have been complied with.
