WORKING PROCESS

How we work, step by step

Renovating commercial premises is a project with an opening date. This is our order of work:

Visit and activity analysis. We review the premises, the activity you plan to run and the requirements it implies (capacity, ventilation, accessibility, services).
Plans and layout. We define the layout, customer flow, work area and finishes.
Permits and paperwork. We prepare the documentation for the building licence and the opening or activity permit that applies, together with the town hall.
Building work. Demolition, partitions, false ceilings, flooring and wall finishes, on a phased schedule.
Services. Electrics, lighting, plumbing, air conditioning, ventilation and extraction, adapted to the activity.
Finishes and signage. Painting, joinery, furniture and brand elements.
Final inspection and handover. Testing of the services, cleaning and documentation for opening.

We set a schedule with milestones to minimise closure time and open on the planned date.

REGULATIONS AND MATERIALS

Regulations, materials and good practice

Premises open to the public must comply with several rules, depending on the activity:

Licence or responsible declaration: depending on the town hall and the activity, a building licence and an opening licence or responsible declaration are needed. We tell you what applies before starting.
Fire safety (CTE DB-SI and fire protection regulations): exits, signage, extinguishers, emergency lighting and reaction to fire of finishes.
Electrical installation (REBT): premises open to the public have specific requirements, such as emergency lighting and additional protections.
Accessibility: the premises must comply with current accessibility regulations (CTE DB-SUA and regional rules) at entrances, toilets and routes.
Ventilation, fumes and noise: in catering, extractor hoods, extraction ducts and limits on noise and odours under municipal by-laws.

This information is indicative: specific requirements vary by municipality and activity. We review them with you at the first visit.

COST FACTORS

What affects the price of your project

The cost of renovating commercial premises depends on these factors:

Area and layout of the premises and the type of activity.
Scope of work: partial renovation, complete fit-out or change of use.
Services needed: electrics, air conditioning, ventilation, fume extraction, plumbing and fire protection.
Quality and finishes: floors, wall finishes, lighting, furniture and brand image.
Previous condition of the premises: outdated services, damp or structures that need adapting.
Permits, project and fees: the technical documentation and municipal permits.
Timeline: openings with a fixed date may require shift work or work outside hours.

COSTA DEL SOL AND AXARQUÍA

Local challenges on the Costa del Sol and the Axarquía

Setting up or renovating a business on the Costa del Sol and in the Axarquía has its particularities:

Tourist season. Many businesses need to open before Easter or summer. Planning months ahead avoids problems with permits and material lead times.
Ground-floor premises. Access, noise and fume outlets must be coordinated with the community, and damp in walls and floors is common.
Salt air. Shutters, signs and metal frames near the sea corrode; we choose suitable materials and treatments.
Heat. Well-sized air conditioning is key in shops and catering with glazed fronts; see our air conditioning page.
Terraces and use of the public road. They are regulated by municipal by-law, with conditions specific to each town.

We renovate premises in Vélez-Málaga, Marbella, Fuengirola and across the rest of the province. For the finish, see commercial painting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about commercial renovations

Can I stay open while you carry out the renovation?

It depends on the scope of the work; in partial renovations we usually organise the work to minimise the impact on your business.

Do you handle the opening licence?

Yes, we can take care of the paperwork with the relevant town hall.

How long does it take to renovate commercial premises?

It depends on the area, the scope and the permits needed. We set a phased schedule in the quote, and licence procedures overlap with the work whenever possible.

Do you renovate catering premises?

Yes, including the kitchen, bar area, fume extraction, accessible toilets and the services specific to the activity, always in line with municipal rules.

What documents do I need to get started?

Normally the deeds or lease of the premises, the planned activity and, if they exist, the plans. If you do not have them, we start with a visit and tell you what needs to be gathered.
