The total cost of building a home will depend on the constructed area, the land on which it is built, the type of structure and construction solutions, the level of equipment and the quality of the materials and finishes.

To all this, we must add the cost of purchasing the plot, the fees of the technicians involved in the project and construction management, licenses, administrative procedures, taxes, etc.

If we focus exclusively on the material execution cost of the home, although it will depend on the type of project, professional architects’ associations usually publish annually an average value per square meter that could serve as a reference. For example, the COA of Malaga, for 2023 estimated the average cost of an isolated single-family home at €1,224/m2.

The act of construction on a lot or plot is regulated by urban regulations that limit the use, height and characteristics of the buildings. Depending on the classification and qualification of the land, as well as the building ordinances, you can allocate your lot or plot to one use or another with certain starting conditions. We recommend that you contact in advance with an architect who will study the particularities of your case and advise you with the administrative procedures.

With the publication of the new urban planning regulations of Andalusia, a new action permitted on rural land called “Unlinked isolated single-family home” was introduced. This regulates a new use that the previous standard did not contemplate and opens the door to the construction of homes on rural land as long as a series of conditions and urban planning parameters are met.

Among these conditions, the main highlights are: a plot with a minimum surface area of 2.5 hectares that allows a circle with a radius of 50 meters to be drawn inside, separation of 100 meters from any other residential building, separation of boundaries of 25 meters and that no induces the formation of new settlements. If you contact us, we could carry out a preliminary study to check if all the minimum requirements to carry out your project are met.

In our profession, professional fees are liberalized and you can find an infinite variety of prices. Generally this will vary depending on the type of building you want to build and its characteristics, since depending on the time a project takes to be drafted, the fees will be higher or lower. We like to have a good conversation beforehand with clients, so that we can know what their wishes are and how we can help them meet their objectives. Afterwards, we will give you a no-obligation and detailed quote to be as transparent as possible.

It is common to sometimes find cracks in a building that will set off the owner’s alarms. These are classified as fissures, fractures or cracks based on their characteristics and can negatively interfere with the aesthetics, durability and, mainly, with the characteristics of a work. Its origin can be caused by structural problems, thermal expansion, material shrinkage, infiltrations or vibrations among other causes. In any case, we recommend going to a technical professional who can analyze your situation and establish the necessary corrective measures if necessary.
