If you need to carry out a Renovation on a budget in Portugal we are here to help.
With 12 years’ experience in helping people like you get the best out of their Portuguese homes, it’s no wonder that we understand that people have budgets and need to work within them.

Unlike most builders in Portugal, we will talk through your ideas with you, ask questions and once we fully understand what you want to achieve we will make suggestions on how we can a help you to achieve the result that you want within your budget and timescales.
We have a thorough understanding of planning restrictions and can help you achieve what you want without breaking the law.

To the Castelo Construction team renovation on a budget is nothing new and it actually helps us to establish what outcome wanted more clearly.
If you have a full blown computer drawn 3D plan or just your ideas sketched on the back of a cereal packet we would love to talk. Feel free to ask as many questions and you want.
How to control costs on a construction project. Firstly there are many ways that you can be sucked into paying too much with many little things adding up to a big headache at the end of the project. We help you avoid these. We have met people who were so focused on their new build or renovation project that they had to go back to their home country to earn more money to finish off what had become a money pit. We have even heard of people who just upped and left Portugal because their dreams were broken.
Of course, there are the odd occasions where we meet someone has bought a property which was not what they thought or were told it was. The unexpected cost of getting these properties in a situation where you can actually carry out some refurbishment work can often push people over their budget before the start.
Don’t fall into this trap discuss your project early with us and we may be able to save you some money with our free advice.

About Castelo Construction Lda

Castelo Construction Lda are builders in Central Portugal. We have 12 years’ experience of working with and delighting clients in Portugal. Tel 00351 927168247 or kelvin@casteloconstruction.com If you need an English speaking builder for renovation or new build work we will provide free estimates, fixed prices and carry out your work to a very high standard. Many of our clients are not in the country full time so rely on our regular photographic updates and written reports. They are always surprised when they make inspection visits. New Construction and Refurbishment of Portuguese Property It’s exciting for both our team and of course our clients to mark out on the earth the site of a new home. We will have been with them during the design process and have spoken to the architect many times so we will be comfortable with what we are about to do. For many clients, this stage is a little daunting as it’s hard to see without experience just where the house is going to be in relation to other things on the property. Once the foundations are dug out the house normally looks smaller than they thought, As the pillars and foundation wall start to go you get a much better idea of scale. You can see with your mind’s eye the location of the kitchen, bedrooms and so on. Once the walls are up and the first floor is in place the rooms start to looks smaller again (something to do with the light absorbing properties of the bricks) once the walls are plastered the rooms look a lot larger and it starts to feel more like the home our clients imagined building. As the build progresses we are involved with many specialist subcontractors and it is our job the get them on site at the right time so that the trades do not overlap and time is not wasted. Once the roof is on and tiled it is traditional in this area to have a dinner on site. Everyone who is involved in the build is invited to share a suckling pig dinner with local bread, oranges and of course wine. This is a great way for the clients to enjoy some local hospitality and meet the craftsmen who are building their new home. We also invite the near neighbors so that they get a chance to see what’s going on (when the house is at a very basic stage) and it gives our clients a relaxed opportunity to make their acquaintance. As we always accompany our clients to choose, kitchens, tiles, bathroom fittings or whatever they want. We can help with translation and of course negotiation! As the house is coming to completion we always have them professionally cleaned so that when we hand over the keys it feels more like a home than a building site. 2 months after the house is finished we are back to check for any small faults that may need attention and of course we are available to help and advise should that be needed.
