In Barcelona city we mainly renovate urban flats and old homes with constraints on partitioning, installations and homeowners' associations. In the Metropolitan Area we also work on detached houses and penthouses with terraces, where layout, insulation and finishes require a different approach. Licence and permit regulations may vary by municipality, so each renovation is planned by first reviewing the applicable local requirements.
How much a full renovation costs in Barcelona and Metropolitan Area
The price of a full renovation in Barcelona and the Metropolitan Area depends on the square metres, the initial state of the home, the installations, the bathrooms, the kitchen, the materials, the permits and the layout changes. The right way to calculate it is to carry out a technical visit and prepare an itemised quote.
| Square metres | More surface means more materials, working hours, finishes and trade coordination. |
| Initial state | An old home may require renewed installations, drainage, levelling or reinforcement of line items. |
| Kitchen | Cabinetry, worktop, appliances, installations, lighting and extraction can vary the cost considerably. |
| Bathrooms | Plumbing, wall coverings, sanitaryware, shower screens, shower, ventilation and lighting affect the quote. |
| Layout | Changing partitions, opening up spaces or modifying installation routes increases complexity. |
| Installations | Electrics, plumbing, air conditioning and ventilation can be major line items in a full renovation. |
| Materials and finishes | Flooring, joinery, painting, wall coverings and lighting change according to the chosen range. |
| Permits | Some works may require prior notification, technical documentation or additional procedures. |
To avoid incomplete quotes, Reformayahorra reviews the state of the home before defining line items, materials and work phases.
Permits required for a full renovation
A full renovation in Barcelona may require prior notification, a minor works licence or a technical project depending on the scope of the works. Permits also depend on the municipality: regulations may vary between Barcelona city and other municipalities of the Metropolitan Area.
A finishes-only renovation usually requires a simple procedure, while a renovation involving changes to layout, installations, structure, façade or communal elements may need additional technical documentation.
- Renewal of interior finishes.
- Layout changes.
- Modification of installations.
- Kitchen renovation.
- Bathroom renovation.
- Works on communal elements.
- Works affecting façade, structure or accessibility.
- Removal of construction waste.
- Use of public road if an authorised skip or bag is needed.
Phases of a full renovation
A full renovation needs phased planning to avoid delays, unforeseen issues and coordination problems between trades. Before starting, we define the scope of the work, the main line items, the materials, the permits and the execution schedule.
- Initial request and review of the type of renovation.
- Technical visit to the home.
- Definition of needs, layout, materials and scope.
- Preparation of a detailed quote.
- Planning of trades, permits and schedule.
- Demolition and removal of existing elements.
- Masonry, partitioning and redistribution.
- Electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning installations.
- Kitchen and bathroom renovation.
- Flooring, joinery, painting and lighting.
- Review of finishes and final handover.
The order of the phases may change depending on the state of the home, the permits, the availability of materials and the needs of the project.
Materials and finishes
Materials and finishes determine the durability, maintenance, aesthetics and final cost of a full renovation. Before choosing them, it is worth reviewing the use of the home, the resistance required, ease of cleaning, lighting, humidity, the desired style and the relationship between kitchen, bathrooms and common areas.
- Flooring
- Wall coverings
- Painting
- Interior joinery
- Exterior joinery
- Doors
- Lighting
- Bespoke furniture
- Worktops
- Sanitaryware
- Taps
- Shower screens
- Decorative finishes
In a full renovation, materials should be chosen in a coordinated way so that the kitchen, bathrooms, living room, bedrooms and circulation areas maintain aesthetic and functional consistency.
Electrics, plumbing and air conditioning
Installations are one of the most important parts of a full renovation, especially in old homes. Electrics, plumbing, air conditioning, ventilation, lighting and connection points must be reviewed before closing up walls, floors or ceilings.
Electrics
Updating the electrical panel, light points, sockets, switches, lighting and appliance requirements helps improve safety and functionality.
Plumbing
Checking pipes, drains, pressure, water distribution, kitchen and bathrooms prevents later problems with damp, leaks or lack of functionality.
Air conditioning and ventilation
Air conditioning, ventilation and insulation affect comfort, energy efficiency and the daily use of the home.
Full renovations including kitchen and bathroom
In many full renovations, the kitchen and bathroom are the areas that most affect the budget, the timeline and the final result. That is why, within a complete renovation, we review the kitchen layout, the water and electrical installations, ventilation, wall coverings, lighting and the relationship between kitchen, bathroom and common areas.
Kitchen within a full renovation
The kitchen may require changes to layout, cabinetry, worktop, extraction, lighting, electrics, plumbing, wall coverings and connection with the living or dining room.
