1) What permits and licenses must a homeowner apply for to carry out work on their home?
The type of building permit or license to apply for depends on the municipality where the property is located.
Before considering how long it will take or how much this permit will add to the budget, it’s important to keep in mind that everything depends on the type of work to be done…
2) Is it necessary to notify the community of owners of the start of the works?
The Horizontal Property Law states that the owner is obligated to inform the president of the community of any work being carried out inside their home. This way, the community ensures that common elements will not be altered.
3) Is there a specific timetable for carrying out a renovation?
Permitted noise levels are regulated by the urban environmental protection ordinances of the municipality where the property is located. In the city of Madrid, the Ordinance for the Protection of the Atmosphere against Pollution by Energy Forms applies, prohibiting construction work inside homes from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. on weekdays, and from 9 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
4) Can the elevator be used to transport materials and debris?
The elevator is not a system designed to raise and lower debris, but rather people and belongings, although there is no legal restriction preventing its use in these cases.
5) Should I request more quotes and compare?
Yes, and it’s highly recommended. When doing so, the client should keep in mind that all companies include the same items in their quotes. Some companies attract their attention solely on price, based on inferior quality. Ultimately, the client should always ensure that the companies compete on a level playing field.

No, our prices are fixed and include travel. If any modifications are required, we will inform you of the additional cost before making the change.
