Renovations in Alhaurín el Grande

Alhaurín el Grande keeps a more rural character than its northern neighbour. The town centre is a traditional Andalusian white village with narrow multi-storey houses, and the municipality holds a significant stock of cortijos, country houses and plots with old buildings. Over the past decade it has drawn British, Dutch and German owners looking for country life within 30 minutes of the coast. Work splits between restoring rural heritage and conventional renovations in the old town and in 1990s developments.

What we do in Alhaurín el Grande

Typical projects in the area:

• Cortijo or farmhouse restoration — Arab tile roofing (beams, boards, waterproof membrane, reclaimed tiles), treating rammed-earth or masonry walls with damp problems, full replacement of services, interior reconfiguration respecting load-bearing walls
• Renovation of traditional multi-storey village houses — opening an interior patio for natural light, preserving features such as hydraulic tiles and original ironwork where the client wishes, new stairs compliant with the Spanish Building Code (CTE)
• Drainage, wells and tanks on rural land — septic tank or compact treatment plant, rainwater capture, buried tank, pressure pump, all in line with regulatory requirements
• Modernising 1990s villas — La Paca, San Jorge, Ardalejo: kitchens and bathrooms, HVAC, improved insulation
• Building a swimming pool on a country property — shotcrete concrete shell, filtration, salt chlorination, optional heating
• Legalising undeclared old works — coordination with a chartered architect for certificates, AFO (Assimilated to Non-Compliant Status), cadastral regularisation

For any works on non-urbanisable land we work with a chartered architect for the technical project and, where applicable, the regional government’s authorisation.
