Architectural Plans & Building Permits

The Bottom Line

Don’t let Spanish bureaucracy stall your project. We provide a bridge between your vision and the Ayuntamiento (City Council), handling all architectural drawings, structural surveys, and legal permits in-house.

 

The Stress-Free Legal Bridge

For international owners, the Spanish planning system is a maze of Obra Mayor and Obra Menor licenses. We simplify it.

Native English Coordination: Discuss your floor plans and structural changes without a translator.

Local Council Expertise: We know exactly what the Barcelona planning office requires for historic Eixample flats and modern Sitges villas.

End-to-End Compliance: From the first 3D render to the final Certificado de Final de Obra.
