Most are sound in structure but need a complete overhaul to meet today’s tastes and living standards. Reconfiguring internal walls for larger living space, contemporising kitchens & bathrooms, integrating new high-efficieny heating & cooling systems, improving insulation... All these measures can transform a property to meet 21st century demands – and significantly increase its value.
Project Casa has experience in all aspects of home building and renovation. Since opening for business in 2005 as specialist constructors of lightweight steel-frame (LSF) and quality wooden homes, the company also undertakes all manner of conventional building and renovation projects.
Director Alex Abram comments: “We’re still very active with steel-frame projects, with several new homes and extensions completed in the last couple of years. And there’s always a niche interest in quality wooden homes. But with the resurging market we’re now being called on for conventional building jobs and complete renovations.”
For anyone renovating, it’s vital to ensure that the project sticks to budget. Alex underlines the point: “There are so many examples of builders offering unrealistically low quotes and timescales just to secure a contract - then the costs escalate as the project drags out. It’s bad practice and we make every effort to deliver a completed project on time, on budget – with no hidden agendas.”
In the current market it’s possible to find properties that once renovated can offer a great return on investment. A ‘tired’ 3-bedroom villa can be bought for under €300k, and a further €75k-€100k renovation will transform it to a desirable modern home that can easily be re-marketed for €500-600k.
“Today’s properties are better-insulated, healthier environments, more energy-efficient and cheaper to run – all compelling reasons to upgrade. So, even for owners just looking to modernise their home, now’s the time to do it.”
