Before doing anything, it is very important to be well informed of all the requirements and necessary documents to get started and not have future surprises and to get down to work safely.
Depending on the type of work that we are going to carry out, we will have to follow certain procedures and we must always consult with the local administration in order to find out what the necessary requirements as there is certain documents that are mandatory when starting a property renovation.
If its about simple works, with no change of structure, a minor work license will have to be requested and on some occasion a responsibility declaration is also required. For those small-scale jobs or some simple improvements such as renovation works in kitchens and bathrooms, floor and wall changes (not structural or supporting walls), renovation of facilities or paintings, only this minor work permit is needed.
If it’s a more complex refurbishment, you will have to request a major work license together with the reform project. A complex renovation is one that affects structural elements and are usually large scale works and with a significant economic cost, which is why its important to have the project from and architect or technical architect that will guarantee all the works are going to be carried out in a safe way and according to the local laws.
