🏡 Take note of these key steps before getting started. We’ll explain them here clearly and simply:
🔹 1. Hire a professional:
Having the right team from the start makes all the difference. You can opt for a turnkey service like the one we offer at personalHOME, or hire an architect who will develop your project in stages:
Preliminary study or draft project
Basic project
Execution project
🔹 2. Conduct a geotechnical study:
This step is essential. A geotechnical study will allow you to understand the condition and characteristics of your land, in order to define the most suitable type of foundation. It’s a matter of safety and also technical efficiency.
🔹 3. Apply for the major building permit:
Once the basic project is ready, it’s time to apply for the building permit at your local town hall. Keep in mind that timelines can vary greatly depending on the municipality.
In the Valencian Community, for example, there’s the ECUV (Entidad Colaboradora Urbanística Valenciana), which can help speed up this process.
🔹 4. Develop the execution project:
While you’re waiting for the permit, the architect can begin developing the execution project. This must be approved (visado) by the College of Architects in your province. This step is essential from both a legal and technical perspective, and it will allow you to clearly visualize all the details of your future home.
Building a house is a legal, technical, and complex process. That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with professionals and do things right from the start. That way, you’ll avoid unpleasant surprises.
🎯 At personalHOME, we’d be delighted to support you if you decide to take this step.
