The Land Register Services We are essentially an architectural
office and have been involved in very many projects over the past 26 years. The
reason our project management department was formed was largely due to the increasing
numbers of clients coming to our office to ask for help in sorting out their problems.
Problems with licenses, permissions, with builders, legal problems, technical
problems etc. Unfortunately in many cases we became involved in the project too
late to help. Constructing a property involves many different skills and professionals;
Real estate agents sell, lawyers check legal titles, architects design projects,
surveyors and topographers survey and builders build. Many problems occur simply
because these professionals all work independently of each other. There is no
coordination, no experienced supervision of each crucial element and the net result
is a total lack of continuity and this is where things start to go wrong. In
order to guide the project smoothly through all its phases, we aim to become involved
at the very beginning avoiding unnecessary problems and additional costs. The
department is under the overall supervision of Manuel J Cabrera Fernández-Pujol,
(Dr en Arquitectura). He will personally oversee and advise on all aspects of
the project. Typical service includes: Introductory meeting
Initial meeting with Dr Cabrera to discuss the client's general requirements.
(Topics to include budget considerations, preferred location, timescale, preliminary
design ideas. etc.) Subsequent meetings during the planning stages will be
arranged as necessary either face to face or by telephone, email or fax. Tour
of the area Arrangements will be made for an accompanied tour of the area
including viewing of potential and suitable building plots. Land survey
Arrange for a Topographical survey of the selected plot. Arrange for a Geological
survey of the selected plot. Purchase of land For your security
the purchase of land (if requested) may be processed through our in-house Agency
(Official Agente de La propiedad Inmobilaira (API No 11.708) We will Prepare a
purchase agreement document ultimately transferring the property from its current
owner, free of all charges, liens and encumberences. This is achieved by way of
Notarial public document, known as the escritura, and is signed by all parties
in front of a public Notary. Planning authorities We will liase
with respective town halls and government authorities where applicable and finalise
the Preparation and Submission of planning applications and licences. Preparation
of the Project (optional) This work is carried out by the architect of
your choice and is subject to an additional fee. This fee is often incorporated
into the builder's quotation. However we would recommend you opt for an independent
architect and take advantage of the wide experience and expertise offered by Dr
Cabrera and his team. The Architect is responsible for the overall preparation
and supervision of the project and together with his surveyor will control each
stage of the building process. The surveyor is also responsible for all safety
aspects on the site. Appointing the builder We are acquainted
with numerous builders in the area and would be happy to recommend one with the
necessary skills, equipment, manpower and financial stability to make the construction. The
building contract We will prepare a comprehensive and binding document
to protect your interests in the event the builder defaults on his agreement.
This will include such things as payment schedules, penalty clauses, etc. Insurance
We will arrange ten-year builders warranty insurance on the finished building
This is your ultimate protection and guarantee against faulty or shoddy workmanship. Overall
management The project will be continuously monitored from the date of
our appointment until the project is completed. Fee structure
