QF Focus Magazine Architects are extremely expensive!!
Many Expats and Spaniards alike imagine this to be the case. In reality, with the right choice of architect this couldn’t be further from the truth!
With over 25 years of professional experience, Pacheco & Asociados are able to anticipate likely planning and construction issues before they occur and advise you well in advance saving you headaches, sleepless nights and unnecessary costs. There are some real financial benefits proven time after time...
1. Consider a simple home refurbishment project. When Pacheco & Asociados, rather than the owner, obtains construction estimates from local contractors, a saving of over 10% is often realised. It shouldn’t be so, but local contractors often feel that dealing with non-Spanish speaking clients leads to delays due to lack of communication and possible confusion during the project execution – with this fear in mind, an inflated price is often submitted to the owner. With an architect fluent in both languages, the opposite is the case. Contractors feel reassured that all the relevant construction information is available in advance avoiding unforeseen circumstances and expensive delays.
2. Pacheco & Asociados have access to the largest up to date database of construction materials, prices and labour rates in Spain. These rates even take into account regional and local anomalies. All contractor tenders are scrutinised by our staff using this information to ensure they are reasonable and competitive. We
quickly identify and reject drastically under priced tenders avoiding the future problems they would cause if accepted.
3. When Pacheco & Asociados, prepares tender documents, a fully itemised bill of quantities is formulated to ensure all contractors are bidding on a like for like basis. Most contractors like to present their own specifications to owners which are often limited in content and difficult for any non-expert to fully evaluate.
