Necessary projects for a single-famylconstruction una vivienda unifamiliar de obra nueva

Preliminary design


The preliminary design of a new single-family home aims to outline the general concepts of the future project. It defines the overall volumes of the different structures and their layout on the plot.

Additionally, proposals for the interior layout of the house will be provided, including basic floor plans and suggestions for materials to be used.

This project does not have a binding character, which means that you cannot proceed with construction based solely on this preliminary design. You also cannot apply for the necessary building permit from the local municipality using only this document. However, it is an essential document for defining the design of the new single-family home and for making decisions with the client regarding the presented proposals.


Basic Project


With the defined preliminary design and the approval from the client, the basic project is carried out. This project complements the previous one, detailing the construction aspects of both the building and the plot.

This project will serve us to apply for the corresponding building permit for new construction. At this stage, the presence of an Architect and a Quantity Surveyor will be necessary to create the project, and once completed, it will be approved by the corresponding professional associations (Architects' Association and Quantity Surveyors' Association).

The content of this project is more comprehensive, as it is developed taking into account the urban planning regulations of the area as well as the Technical Building Code (CTE) among others. It's crucial to review the urban planning regulations, as they vary depending on the municipality, which will somewhat determine the final adjustments of the new construction.


Construction Drawings and Specifications

The execution project for new construction is the final set of plans you will need to carry out the construction of your new single-family home. This technical document will define everything necessary for any qualified contractor to carry out the construction (always following the guidelines of the technical team: Architect and Building Surveyor).

The execution of this project takes place while the construction permit is being processed (remember that at this point a basic project has already been submitted to the corresponding municipality for permit approval). Therefore, this project will be developed during this period and should be completed by the time the construction permit is granted. This way, you will have all the necessary technical documentation to carry out the construction, as well as the authorization from the municipality to proceed.

This project will justify all the proposals defined in the basic project. Therefore, this technical document should include:

  • Structural calculations, both for the foundation and the building itself
  • Thermal calculations for facades and roofs
  • Calculations for all installations
  • Construction details
  • Detailed budget
  • And more...

These execution projects should also be approved by the corresponding professional associations.

At this point, construction will commence, supervised by the site management team

Construction Site Management
and Coordination

The Site Manager is the person responsible for:

  • Coordinating the entire technical and professional team of the project
  • Interpreting the execution project (technically, economically, and aesthetically)
  • Ensuring that the construction is completed within the agreed-upon time-frames
  • Adapting to changes, unforeseen events, and necessary modifications
  • Obtaining the certificate of project completion
