Building and remodelling · Algarve

Nobody buys a building job. They buy a date.

New build, remodelling and refurbishment in the Algarve for people working to a fixed date — the developer with a completion, the hotel with a reopening, the building with an owners' meeting and the shop with an opening night.

Where we work

Algarve

The interior of a building under renovation, with walls opened up, exposed steel studs and unfinished wiring.

Before you choose who builds it

A job does not run late for want of people. It runs late for want of decisions.

These four hold up any job, with any contractor. Worth knowing before you sign, rather than halfway through.

  • 01

    The decisions not taken

    Sanitaryware, flooring and the kitchen are chosen weeks before they reach the site. A postponed decision does not cost a day — it stops the work front that was coming next.

  • 02

    Whatever was hidden

    Half of a remodelling job sits behind a wall. You open it, and what turns up changes the schedule.

  • 03

    The material that is not in stock

    Some finishes take weeks to arrive. Ordering late costs more time than any trade on site.

  • 04

    The permits

    They depend neither on who builds it nor on who pays for it, and they count towards the date all the same.

None of these four is solved by putting more people on site. Three are solved before it starts. The fourth is solved by looking — which is what the site visit is.

What we do

Three kinds of work, and what separates them is what sits underneath.

From new build to finishes. The order is how deep the work goes, not how much it costs.

01

New build

From the plot to the keys. It is the work where the most things depend on each other, which makes it the work that most depends on a schedule that holds.

Includes

  • Structure and masonry
  • Water, drainage and electrical services
  • Finishes and handover

02

Remodelling

Changing what is already there: taking down walls, redoing services, replacing what has aged. It is where the surprises live, because half of what you will find is behind a wall.

Includes

  • Controlled demolition
  • Bathrooms and kitchens
  • Replacing old services

03

Refurbishment

Bringing a place back up without touching the structure: paint, floors, joinery, isolated plumbing. It is the work that fits in a short window between two uses.

Includes

  • Interior and exterior painting
  • Floors and wall finishes
  • Joinery and metalwork

How it is run

A job does not run late all at once. It runs late one week at a time.

Four moments where the client sees where the schedule is and where the money is, while there is still time to move either one.

  1. Before the price

    A visit to the site

    Nobody prices a remodelling from photographs. What sits behind the walls decides half the price, and you find it by going there.

  2. By chapter

    An itemised quote

    Trade by trade, with quantities. A single closed figure on one line is a figure nobody can argue with or compare.

  3. During

    A dated schedule of works

    Every work front with the day it opens and the day it closes. It is the document that tells you, mid-job, whether the date still holds.

  4. At the end

    Snagging and handover

    We walk the job with the client, write down what is missing, put it right, and only then hand over the keys.

Licence and insurance

The paperwork, with the number and the scope beside it.

A licence number on its own tells nobody anything. What tells them something is the qualification registered against it — which is why both are always here.

Contractor licence

No. 113343-PUB, issued by IMPIC on 26 September 2024

4th category — electrical and mechanical installations. Sub-category 12 — heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration. Class 1.

Public liability

Lusitania, policy 8172504

Operating cover for construction work, with a limit of €100,000 per claim and per policy year.

Workers' accident cover

Fidelidade, policy AT65841211

Staff on the company's service, full cover under the legal regime in force.

What this licence covers

One qualification is registered: climate control.

Sub-category 12 covers heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration, at class 1. Construction, refurbishment and renovation run through subcontractors licensed for each trade, hired and directed by King Build — and each one's licence is asked for before they set foot on site.

It is written here rather than in a footnote because it is the first thing a developer checks on the IMPIC portal. Reading it on the site first means not having to find it alone.

Check it on the IMPIC portal

Tell us the date. Everything else works back from it.

A visit to the site, a quote itemised by trade, and a schedule with the day each work front opens and closes.

No commitment. The visit is there to find out whether the date is possible — and if it is not, better to know before signing.
