If you have just arrived in Barcelona or you are about to buy a house or premises, it is likely that you are considering a comprehensive reform. This type of work is a major investment and an opportunity to adapt the space to your lifestyle. Therefore, good planning is essential. In this article we offer you five fundamental keys to make your integral reform in Barcelona a success: from the definition of objectives to the final execution of the project.
Define your needs and priorities
It all starts with a reflection: how do you want to live or work in your new space? Define whether you are looking for spaciousness, open areas, additional rooms or a rental-oriented renovation. These decisions should guide the entire technical and aesthetic approach. In addition, it is important to prioritize: you may not be able to do everything at once, but you can start with the most urgent or relevant. Visualizing your ideal lifestyle in the home will help you better define the scope of the project. Do you need an office, an extra bedroom, open spaces for meetings or separate areas for privacy? Translating your habits into renovation decisions is key to getting it right.
2. Calculate the budget with a realistic vision
A house renovation in Barcelona can have a variable cost depending on the state of the property, the level of finishes and structural modifications required. Therefore, it is essential to establish an initial budget with a margin for unforeseen events. At Buildpat we adapt to the needs of each client, offering customized and flexible proposals that fit each type of project, without surprises and with maximum transparency.
3. Make sure you have all the necessary documentation and permits.
Before starting any renovation, you should verify that the property has the required certificate of occupancyThe building is free of encumbrances and complies with urban planning regulations. In addition, some reforms require licenses, especially if distributions, installations or structural elements are modified. Don't worry about all that and contact our team to take care of everything.
4. Work with a professional technical team
The success of an integral reform depends not only on the design, but also on its correct execution. Having a team with experience in regulatory compliance, quality control and coordination between trades is key. At Buildpat we offer this service as part of our formula Turnkey Business Launch Packagewhich includes technical project, license management and complete execution.

You can find inspiration in our article on how to lay out a house to make the best use of space. Also pay attention to the finishes: floors, lighting, carpentry, painting, etc..
