House & Building Construction in Loures

About our service in Loures

In the northern part, the first check is how the land is classified, and it decides everything else. On rural land building is exceptional and tied to agricultural use or to situations the plan expressly foresees, with opinions from bodies outside the council. There are parcels where an agricultural building is possible and a house is not, and the size of the land does not change that. We ask for the caderneta predial and the registry certificate, confirm what is permitted there and tell you plainly what we found before you spend anything on a design. In the southern half of the municipality the conversation is different, with urban plots and rules that are far simpler to read. With warehouses and buildings for a business, the use governs everything. Covered area, usable height, clear spans, floor loading, doors and access for heavy vehicles define the construction solution and the price, and none of them is easily corrected once built. On top of that sits the licensing of the activity itself, which runs in parallel with the building permit and brings its own requirements for safety, ventilation and, in some trades, effluent treatment. We always ask what will operate inside before designing the building. We run both processes in parallel so the building is not finished and waiting on an inspection. Restoring quinta houses is work of diagnosis and patience. Thick masonry walls, timber roofs with tiles laid dry, earth floors with no barrier against moisture and installations no longer fit for modern use. The right sequence is to treat the source of the damp, resolve the roof, replace the services and only then deal with finishes, using compatible mortars that let the walls dry. Done that way, a house like this ends up better and more comfortable than an equivalent new build. We also review gutters, eaves and drainage around the house, which is how the water reaches the walls in the first place.
