Luxury renovation in Cascais
Villas, quintas and coastal homes, renovated from first drawing to final handover by one accountable team.
The remodel approach
One accountable team for every stage of a major renovation
A luxury renovation in Cascais usually means a villa or a coastal home, a long list of decisions, and a project that stretches across an architect, engineers, the câmara and a dozen trades. Most owners end up coordinating all of it themselves, often from another country.
With a managed renovation you sign one contract with us. We plan, permit and manage the entire project, and report to you at every milestone. Typical full renovations in Cascais run €800 to €1,150 per m², with coastal villas and top-end finishes higher.
What we take care of
Everything, handled
Design coordination
We work with your architect and interior designer, or bring ours, so the design is buildable and priced before work starts.
Permits and câmara filings
Prepared and submitted through MyCascais by the right professionals for the scope of your works.
Budget and scope
An itemised written scope and budget, agreed before any contract is signed, with every change documented.
Construction management
Our project manager runs the site, the trades and the schedule day to day.
Quality control
Site visits and sign-off at each milestone, with progress reports you can follow from anywhere.
Handover and snagging
A complete snagging list, closed out before you move in, and the documentation you need to keep.
Illustrative images. Project photography to follow.
Local knowledge
Cascais has its own rules
Coastal protection
Near the shoreline, the coastal programme (POC-ACE) restricts new building and most extensions. Reconstruction without raising the façade can often be authorised.
Natural Park and Natura 2000
Rural land inside the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park needs an opinion from ICNF before the câmara can approve works.
Gated communities
Developments such as Quinta da Marinha have their own architecture review boards on top of câmara approval, which we build into the programme from day one.
Salt air
Within a few hundred metres of the coast, metalwork and window frames need marine-grade specification, not standard inland materials.
Digital filing
Applications go through MyCascais with digitally signed PDF/A documents. We prepare the full submission.
