House & Building Construction in Montijo
Montijo is one of the places on this side of the river where new building happens steadily, and you can see it in the way the town spreads towards Afonsoeiro. What comes to us here splits into two: apartment buildings on urban plots, and detached houses on private parcels, with a smaller stream of deep renovations in blocks from the seventies and eighties. We take these projects from design coordination through to handover, treating the council file and the site work as one job rather than two things that happen to involve the same client. We also keep one person answering the phone from start to finish, which clients tell us is rarer than it should be.

About our service in Montijo
In an apartment building, what separates a smooth job from a troubled one is decided before the first block is laid. Architecture and structure have to be reconciled, the water and drainage risers planned, the service spaces, lift shaft and connections to public networks worked out. Risers put in the wrong place force dropped ceilings nobody planned for and a loss of headroom that every flat will notice. Most plots in Montijo are regular, which simplifies siting, but the parking requirement often decides whether there is a basement, and the basement is usually the most expensive part of the whole job. We settle that with you before commissioning the architectural design. Utility connections deserve a chapter of their own. Connecting a new building to the public water and drainage networks, applying for an electrical supply of the right capacity and arranging telecommunications infrastructure are three processes with three different bodies, each with its own timetable and paperwork. We start them as soon as the design is stable, because they are the most common reason a finished building stands empty waiting. The same applies to individual meters, which are better requested with time in hand than on the eve of handover. That way the keys and the meters arrive at the same time. On site we work in closed stages with records. Foundations and structure, roof and waterproofing, blockwork, buried services and their tests, renders, finishes and external works. No stage is covered until it has been checked, because an untested pipe behind a finished wall is an expensive thing to find later. In a building with several units we document what is left in the common parts too, since that is what the owners' association will manage from then on. At handover you get as-built drawings and the documents needed for the use licence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions in Montijo:
I have a plot in Afonsoeiro for a small block. Where do we start?
By confirming what the municipal plan allows there: number of floors, buildable area, distances to boundaries and the parking required. That last point often decides whether you need a basement, and with it a significant share of the budget. Once those parameters are fixed, the architectural design follows, then the engineering disciplines, then the application to the Câmara Municipal do Montijo.
Can building start while I wait for the permanent electricity supply?
Yes, and it almost always does, using a temporary site supply. The mistake is leaving the application for the permanent connection until the end: the house is finished and sits without power, waiting on a process that is neither ours nor yours to speed up. We start it as soon as the design is settled so the connection keeps pace with the build.
How do I know the buried services were done properly if they end up hidden?
Because they are tested before they are covered. Water pipework is pressurised and drainage checked before any plastering, and that test is recorded in writing and in photographs. We then hand over as-built drawings showing where everything actually runs, which saves you breaking into walls blindly the first time something needs attention.
