BRIEF SUMMARY OF WORKS PERFORMED:
In 2018, one of our clients, with whom we have already completed several renovations of this type, contacted us. The reason for their approach was to improve the condition of their apartment and ensure its durability for many years to come. They were convinced that a significant investment in the complete and comprehensive renovation of their property would result in long-term positive outcomes, amortized in less than 8 years.
Now, how did the process of initiation, development, and conclusion unfold? Here's what we did:
First, we visited the apartment to take photos, measurements, and necessary data to create a detailed floor plan, based on which we prepared a detailed itemized estimate. The photos below show the condition of the apartment before the start of renovation. As mentioned earlier, the building in which the apartment was located was over 35 years old, making it evident that the decoration and style were characteristic of that era (with a few exceptions in appliances).
ON-SITE CONDITION BEFORE RENOVATION:
Once the existing distribution plans of the house before the renovation were established, three alternative proposals for new distribution were presented to the client, improving the spaces and their functionality. About two weeks of office work were spent making corrections and considering the promoter's observations, after which the final definitive distribution was established, serving as the basis for the detailed estimate.
Subsequently, the team of designers, architects, and decorators from Arcostec proceeded to carry out the comprehensive renovation execution project by drawing up plans for installations, equipment, replanning, furniture, exterior aluminum and wood carpentry, finishes, and detailed elevations. The time devoted to the detailed project was 2 months.
In parallel with the definition of the project through detailed plans of all elements, the corresponding municipal license application for the works was made. This was the Minor Works Responsible Declaration of Torrevieja, necessary to legalize all planned works. Additionally, a municipal permit for Occupation of Public Road (O.V.P.) was requested and processed to place the waste container on the street and reserve a space for storage and unloading of materials throughout the works. Once the municipal work permit, i.e., the Minor Works License, was obtained, the start date of the renovation works was confirmed with the client, following the signing of the delimitation report, which took place 15 days after the confirmation and completion of the complete works estimate.
Below, we present some images taken during the works:
