Full renovations in Benahavís for luxury villas and high-end properties
Full renovation specialists in Benahavís — from the village core to La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, Los Arqueros and La Quinta. We coordinate the full project for luxury villas and high-end homes, with a single project lead and English communication. Assessment before any commitment.
From the village core to the exclusive urbanisations
Benahavís combines a traditional mountain village core with some of the most exclusive urbanisations on the Costa del Sol: La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, Los Arqueros, La Quinta, Monte Mayor and El Herrojo. Properties range from village houses to large villas with high-end finishes. Each urbanisation has its own access conditions and building rules. We adapt the project to the type of property, the level of finish expected and the specific requirements of each community.
What a full renovation in Benahavís covers
A full renovation can range from a complete layout change — new distribution, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical and plumbing — to a targeted update of specific areas. In properties of this level it is common to include complementary work such as air conditioning, home automation, window replacement or insulation upgrades, together with particular care in material selection. All trades are coordinated by our team with a single project lead, so you have one point of contact for the whole renovation.
Remote project management for non-resident owners
A significant proportion of owners in Benahavís are based outside Spain. We manage the renovation end to end: we coordinate access with the urbanisation's security and management, supervise all work, resolve issues autonomously and send you regular updates. The process is straightforward: initial site assessment, written quotation with the agreed scope, and execution without requiring your presence. The price is fixed in writing — no open items and no changes without your approval.
A full renovation strips the property back to bare shell and rebuilds it completely: layout, plumbing, electrics, heating and cooling, brickwork, joinery and finishes, under a single project and a single point of coordination. It starts with a design and a real on-site survey, not a generic quote, and with the right municipal permit: a declaración responsable or a major works licence, depending on the scope.
The decisions that set the schedule and the outcome
The hidden services. Multilayer or PEX plumbing and electrics to REBT standard, with their own consumer unit and independent circuits, plus waterproofing under shower trays and terraces. It is the work you never see and the one most often underestimated: every stage is checked before it is closed up.
The materials exposed to salt air. Sea breeze accelerates corrosion, so the priority is external aluminium joinery, anodised or high-quality lacquered, with a thermal break, double glazing and stainless fittings. Inside, large-format porcelain, which reduces grout lines and gives visual continuity, and compact-surface worktops that resist scratching and staining. Heating is usually an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating or ducted air.
The community and the town hall. Any work to the facade, terrace or soil pipes needs the consent of the owners' community and must respect the look of the building. Permits vary from town to town (Marbella, Estepona, Mijas, Fuengirola and Benalmádena each have their own procedures and fees) and the CTE building code sets requirements for thermal and acoustic insulation and hygiene. On second homes, much of the work is coordinated remotely with the owner.
A full renovation of a 90-100 m2 flat takes 8 to 14 weeks; a villa, considerably longer. In-house team, one site manager, turnkey handover with installation certificates (electrical certificate) and a 5-year guarantee on the workmanship. Renovating since 2010. The full process and materials are set out in our guide to full home renovation on the Costa del Sol.
