House & Building Construction in Lumiar
Lumiar grew through planned estates, and Telheiras is the clearest example: condominiums with maintained green space, basement garages, well-defined works rules and organised administrations. People who call us here mostly want to update apartments built between the eighties and the two-thousands, structurally sound but with kitchens, bathrooms and installations asking for renewal. We do that work with the respect for condominium rules these buildings require, and we also handle common-parts work when it is the administration that gets in touch. The documentation the administration expects, insurance included, is dealt with before the first delivery arrives rather than argued about afterwards.

About our service in Lumiar
The good news about these apartments is the structure. Reinforced concrete, lightweight internal walls and layouts that allow rooms to be reorganised with relative freedom, provided the columns, beams and ducts are identified before anything starts. The less good news is usually in the installations and the wet rooms, where four decades of use leave their mark: pipework at the end of its life, bathrooms without adequate waterproofing beneath the tiles and consumer units undersized for what a household now plugs in. That is where the work has to be serious, because that is where leaks to the flat below begin. Services are tested before anything closes over them, and the test is recorded. In condominiums with basement garages, one point is worth checking early: access for materials and the headroom on the ramps. Many site vehicles cannot get in, which means unloading outside and moving materials internally, with times agreed with the administration. It is also common for insurance and prior notification to be required before work is authorised. None of this is complicated, as long as it is sorted out beforehand rather than on the morning the team arrives with a lorry at the gate. We confirm the ramp headroom before counting on the basement for deliveries. When we work for the administration, the requests are different: waterproofing roofs and terraces, treating concrete on balconies and in garages, painting facades, repairing external paving and work on common installations. We diagnose the origin before quoting, because on flat roofs and in basements it is common to treat the symptom and leave the cause in place. The proposal is itemised by work and by phase, so the assembly can approve everything at once or proceed in stages according to the funds available. At the end we hand over a photographic record, which becomes the building's history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions in Lumiar:
The top-floor terrace is leaking. How is it properly fixed?
Not with a waterproofing paint over the top, which is what gets done most often and lasts least. It is fixed by identifying where the water enters, checking outlets, upstands and the edges of the existing membrane, and rebuilding the system where it has failed. On accessible terraces you also have to consider the protection layer and the falls, which are frequently the real cause.
Can I change the layout of the apartment freely?
In buildings like these there is usually plenty of scope, because the internal walls are lightweight. What cannot be touched are columns, beams, cores and the technical ducts serving the building. We check the structural drawings before proposing changes, and when an idea involves common installations we speak to the administration first.
The association requires insurance before authorising work. Is that normal?
Many do, and it is a reasonable requirement. In Telheiras and Alto do Lumiar it is standard practice, alongside prior notification to the administration and compliance with working hours. We deal with that documentation before starting, so the job begins without an argument on the first morning and without the risk of being told to stop.
