Frequently asked questions
What permits and procedures are required to renovate a commercial space?
It depends on the type of work and the activity of the business, but usually a building permit or prior notice must be submitted to the city council. If the renovation involves a change of activity or adaptation of the premises, a technical project and a license or responsible declaration of activity may also be required. In many cases, these procedures must be accompanied by technical documentation prepared by a licensed architect or qualified professional.
Do you handle the furniture and interior decoration of the premises?
Yes, absolutely. We also take care of furniture design and interior decoration, selecting materials, lighting, colors, and decorative elements to create a space that is coherent with the business’s identity. This allows the project to be developed holistically, ensuring that all elements maintain a consistent aesthetic and functional line.
How long does a commercial renovation take?
The timeframe depends on the size of the premises, its initial condition, and the complexity of the renovation. In general, the full process—including design, permit processing, and construction—usually takes 2 to 4 months, although it can vary depending on the type of business and required work. Good project planning helps optimize time and prevent delays.
Is it possible to renovate a space for any type of business?
Not always. Before starting, it is important to check the urban planning and regulatory feasibility of the premises for the intended activity.
What does the renovation project include?
It usually includes space design, technical drawings, materials and installations specification, measurements, budget, and construction supervision.
