How we work
Seven phases, the same on every project. The budget is frozen before work begins, and one person answers for the site throughout.
Start with phase 01We listen to your vision and visit the property, with no obligation and in complete confidence. In this first meeting we also define whether the project needs an architect or interior design, where we collaborate with the best studios on the Costa del Sol.
With your vision on the table, we plan materials, specifications and layout, and present the preliminary design together with an honest cost range, before you sign anything.
Line by line, with deadlines and conditions closed in writing. The budget is frozen before work begins.
We handle permits, coordination of technical consultants and the construction schedule before touching the house.
Our own teams across the whole site, under a single technical management. Laser levelling, zero tolerance for deviations and continuous quality control.
Premium materials installed with the precision they were conceived with: geometrically precise surfaces, large-format porcelain, bespoke joinery and advanced home automation.
Joint walkthrough of the works, house manual and signed warranties: five years on finishes, ten on structure. And we remain available.
Guarantees
Five years
on finishes
Ten years
on structure
Four years beyond what Spanish law requires on finishes, because the work is ours to answer for.
Monthly certification of everything executed. No change to the budget without written approval.
Project management
Where a project needs it, Realta coordinates architects, engineers, interior designers and suppliers, files licences and runs the programme. It is not a separate service. It is how the work gets done, and it is why owners who live abroad can follow the site without being on it.
Questions
If yours isn't here, ask us directly. We reply within one working day.
No. Structure, masonry, carpentry, electrics, plumbing, stone and finishes are executed by Realta's own team, under one technical lead.
Yes. We act as principal contractor and execute the design of your architect or interior designer. The basement and bathrooms at QSJ were built by us to an external interior design studio's design.
Most of our clients do. We report on an agreed rhythm, and there is one person answerable for the site throughout.
English, Spanish and Russian.
A new build from ground level can run up to two years. Renovations vary with scope: some are a matter of weeks, others several months. The six bathrooms at QSJ took three months. We give you a dated programme with the budget, before anything starts.
Broken down chapter by chapter and item by item, signed before work starts. Monthly certification of what has been executed. No variation without written approval.
No. We work on whole properties, as principal contractor. We do not take subcontracted packages for other builders.
Marbella, Benahavís, Estepona, Sotogrande, Nueva Andalucía and the prime residential areas of the Costa del Sol.
Yes. We visit with you, examine structure and installations, and tell you what the work would involve. Sometimes the answer is that the house is not worth it.
Yes, through our own legal team. Filing, follow-up and documentation are part of the contract.
Five years on finishes, four beyond the one-year legal minimum, and ten years on structure, signed in writing, on everything executed by our own team. Plus a scheduled technical review after handover.
A final walkthrough with you, complete documentation, warranties and technical certificates, and a scheduled technical review during the warranty period.
Private consultation
Tell us about the property. Our technical team will review its feasibility and come back to you with the next steps, in confidence.
