Renovations and additions in Nicaragua

A good renovation starts by understanding what is already there. We survey the existing building, walls, structure and services, before proposing changes, so the design is realistic and construction brings no surprises.

We design additions, new layouts and full renovations, making sure the new work fits the existing building and the budget goes where it makes the biggest difference. This is also a good fit if you bought an existing property in Nicaragua and want to adapt it.

    As-built survey

    We measure and draw the building exactly as it is today: the basis for every decision.

    Design options

    We present one or more renovation options and choose with you the one that best balances cost and result.

  4. Step 04

    Drawings and construction

    We deliver the drawings to price and build, and visit the site while the work is done.

Frequently asked questions

Can I renovate in phases?

Yes. We design the whole project and split it into phases so you can build it as your budget allows without redoing work.

Do I need a permit to renovate?

It depends on the work. Additions and structural changes usually need a municipal permit; we review your case in the consultation and handle the application.

How much does a renovation cost?

The final construction budget comes from the finished drawings. During the concept stage we give you an estimated budget to help you make a decision.
