Renovation management

A single accountable lead for your Barcelona renovation

We represent owners who cannot be on site and do not want to depend on contractors, suppliers, architects, and local parties they cannot properly challenge. Radiant scopes the works, coordinates the permit path, tenders contractors, manages the timeline, and reports clearly every week.

  • Feasibility before commitment
  • Multilingual owner-side coordination
  • Permit path, tendering, and schedule control
  • Weekly reporting and decision tracking

Built for foreign owners who want one operator on their side in Barcelona.

Why foreign owners lose control of renovations

Language asymmetry

Owners who do not speak Spanish or Catalan fluently often receive filtered, partial, or contractor-friendly information.

Weak scoping

Projects go wrong before the first hammer swing, when budget, permit route, and scope are not defined properly.

Bad contractor comparison

Quotes look comparable until the omissions show up in change orders, delays, and disputes.

No owner-side operator

When nobody owns the timeline, documentation, and follow-up, the owner ends up carrying the risk from a distance.

What Radiant actually manages

Feasibility and scope definition

We assess the property, the likely permit route, the level of intervention, and what the budget can realistically support.

Tendering and contractor comparison

We run like-for-like comparisons so the owner can see scope gaps before committing.

Permit coordination

We coordinate the permit path, technical professionals, and documentation requirements.

Timeline and schedule control

We translate the works into a real delivery plan and keep the project moving against it.

Weekly reporting and decision tracking

We send photo and video updates, status against plan, and clear decisions the owner needs to make.

Snagging and final handover

We close out the works, track unfinished items, and deliver a proper final handover file.

What clients receive during the project

This is not just supervision. It is structured owner-side control.

  • Feasibility memo
  • Scope summary and permit path
  • Tender pack and contractor comparison
  • Budget visibility before commitment
  • Weekly bilingual progress updates
  • Decision log and issue log
  • Snagging list and handover file

Every renovation starts with scope and feasibility, then the right renovation permits. Whether your project needs an assabentat notification or full major-works approval changes the timeline, the budget, and whether an architect is required.

Before any works begin we run a like-for-like contractor comparison and lock the scope in writing — the control structure that makes renovation from abroad actually work. It also helps to budget realistically for the wider purchase costs when a renovation follows a recent acquisition.

The case studies show what matters in real projects: feasibility, permit coordination, tendering, schedule control, weekly reporting, and live problems handled without pushing operational chaos back onto the owner.

How renovation management works

  1. 1

    Feasibility and first review

    We review the property, the brief, and the realistic permit and budget envelope before any commitments are made.

  2. 2

    Planning and tendering

    We define a clean scope, prepare the tender pack, and compare contractors like-for-like so omissions are visible.

  3. 3

    Permit and technical coordination

    We coordinate architects and technical professionals, the permit route, and the documentation the works require.

  4. 4

    Project launch and schedule control

    We translate the works into a real delivery plan and hold contractors and suppliers against it.

  5. 5

    Weekly reporting and issue handling

    Weekly photo / video updates, status against plan, open issues, and the decisions the owner needs to make.

  6. 6

    Snagging and handover

    We close out unfinished items, deliver a final handover file, and leave the property properly documented.

What we absorb so the owner does not have to

Contractor delays
Permit and technical follow-up
Supplier and material issues
Building and community friction

Nice after photos matter. But control during the project matters more.

Best fit for

If you want to self-manage contractors, permits, and follow-up directly, this is probably not the right service.

  • Foreign owners who cannot be on site
  • Owners who do not want to depend on Spanish-only communication during the works
  • Buyers closing on a property and planning renovation immediately after purchase
  • Investors who want capex and execution under control
  • Owners who want one accountable operator between them and the site
