In more detail:
1. Finding a buildable plot or an estate to renovate requires an evaluation of several parameters among which: ground morphology, acessibility, orientation, micro-climate, view and obviously price.
2. It all starts with the client's requirements: functionality, aesthetics, materials, energy factor, budget and long-term economy.
In particular, the energy factor becomes a key issue in the development of a property. There is a close relationship between energy running costs over 20 years and the total cost of an estate. At first sight a construction technology may seem much cheaper but may well become very expensive to run. Insulation, proper use of micro-climate (wind, humidity, sun...), layout and orientation of internal spaces, efficient heating/cooling technology become key factors, not to speak about potentially harmful materials.
Since the first energy crisis in the 70's we continuously monitor techniques and technologies that may be applied to both new constructions and renovations.
Once the project is defined we provide the required permits.
To avoid hidden costs or over-budget it is essential to start with an extremely detailed project. Late changes always imply substancial extra costs.
3. The construction phase is a challenging ground for people and resources management, clever use of materials and planing.
The slightest detail must be taken into account from day one, including landscaping which has a very strong impact on the final result, especially for the largest properties.
