A custom home in Spain is both a design commission and a regulated delivery process. Site due diligence, the professional team, municipal route, budget, procurement, construction duties, and completion documents must be coordinated from the start. This page explains the sequence and where our scope connects with the licensed local team.
The Spanish building process
A Spanish custom-home project commonly includes site and purchase due diligence, brief and concept design, the technical documents required for the applicable route, municipal procedures, procurement and contract, regulated construction-stage duties, inspections, completion records, and any required occupation or registration steps. The sequence and terminology must be confirmed for the property and municipality.
Who does what: architect, aparejador, contractor
In Spain, team composition and the allocation of duties depend on the project, applicable law, and contracts. The architect and technical architect carry the regulated duties assigned to them, while the contractor executes the work. Before appointment, record who signs the project, directs the works, oversees execution, coordinates the contractor, and reports to the client. Our studio coordinates the concept and design decisions with the local team; regulated responsibilities remain with the appropriately qualified professionals identified for each commission.
Typical timeline and what to expect
A Spanish custom-home programme depends on the brief, surveys, site, design decisions, consultants, municipal route, procurement, contractor capacity, construction complexity, utilities, inspections, and completion formalities. We prepare a project-specific programme with dependencies and decision dates instead of promising a national average.
