Before the design

First, you need to know whether it is possible.

A change of use does not start with building work. It starts by checking the premises, the building and the rules that apply in that municipality.

01
Planning compliance

We check whether planning rules allow residential use and what conditions apply to those premises.

02
Habitability

We check floor area, height, layout and the applicable requirements before drawing the home.

03
Light and ventilation

We measure openings, facades and ventilation to determine whether the space can meet residential standards.

04
Building and work

We assess access, services and common elements, along with any permissions that may be required.

Feasibility result

Know whether it is possible before buying or starting.

The visit and preliminary study identify the real limits of the premises. If the change is feasible, we define the design, process and work. If it is not, you know before committing the investment.

Avoid a bad decision

The expensive mistake happens before construction begins.

Attractive premises cannot always become a home. Feasibility is checked with facts, not an impression during a visit.

01
Buying without checking

The price does not make up for planning rules or building conditions that prevent residential use.

02
Designing too soon

Drawing a home before checking the real conditions means doing the work again.

03
Separating design and construction

If each party calculates separately, changes, gaps and costs appear that nobody coordinated.

02
Feasibility

We visit the space and assess its planning and technical compliance.

03

We define the home and prepare the required documents.

04
Process

We submit the file and monitor its progress.

05
Construction

We coordinate construction and the required completion documents.

Clear responsibility

Feasibility first. Everything else follows.

The same person coordinates the study, design, file and construction. That way, every technical decision reaches the quote and schedule.

01
One shared assessment

Design and construction start from the same conditions of the premises.

02
One monitored file

You do not have to coordinate a technician, administrator and builder yourself.

03
A quote with context

We price the work once we know the limits and requirements of the change of use.

The exact conditions depend on the premises, the building and the municipality. The preliminary study lets you decide with that information in front of you.

Frequently asked questions

What you should know first.

Each municipality and property can change the answer. For a specific case, call us and we will review it.

No. Planning rules, the building and the applicable habitability conditions must be reviewed. That is why the first stage is a feasibility study.

Yes. The preliminary study reduces the risk of committing to a purchase without knowing whether the change of use is feasible.

A change of use usually requires technical documents. The exact scope is defined according to the property and municipal procedure.

It depends on the municipality, the applicable procedure and the review of the file. We do not promise a timeline we cannot control.

Yes. We can coordinate the design, processing and construction under one commission.

Yes. We work in Donostia, Irún and Navarre.
