Renovation · Flat, kitchen, bathroom or whole home
It is the call I get most. Someone has just bought, wants to redo the bathrooms or open up the kitchen, has two quotes that look nothing like each other, and no way of telling which one is sound.
You do not need a villa to need someone to bring order. I help you define what will actually be done, get quotes that can genuinely be compared, and make sure the works come out the way you agreed.

What usually happens
You ask three firms and get three different documents: one includes the plumbing, another never mentions it, the third says "as per site". You choose on price and end up paying more than the expensive one.
The fix · One common bill of quantities so everyone prices the same thing.The tiles get chosen when the tiler is already at the door. Work stops, the trade moves to another job and comes back when they can.
The fix · Knowing weeks ahead what has to be decided and ordered.Old wiring, a damaged beam, damp behind the tiling. Normal enough — but if nobody allowed for it, it becomes an extra cost you cannot argue with.
The fix · Looking before, and leaving margin for what appears.How we work
Many people call me only for the first part: finding out what can be done and for what budget. Then they decide whether they want me to carry on.
The minimum
To clear your doubts before spending a euro.
Everything
So you do not have to be on top of it.
What kind of works
New services, finishes and sanitaryware. Usually the first job for someone who has just bought.
Opening up to the living room, moving services, coordinating the kitchen supplier with the other trades so they do not clash.
The whole flat: layout, new services, joinery and finishes.
A house or villa stripped back and rebuilt, with a design team and site supervision.
If the job is small, it is coordinated directly with the trades needed, without a main contractor adding a margin on top. If it is large, it goes out in packages.
Frequent questions
Especially if you do not know where to start. Proper quantities let you compare offers for real, and that usually covers the cost of the service.
Yes. A bathroom needs order too: what gets touched, in what sequence the trades come in, and what paperwork applies.

Nothing. The property and a rough idea. The first visit is exactly what sorts that out.
