Works technical documentation

Technical projects for renovations and construction in Málaga

The technical project is the documentary basis of the works: descriptive memorandum, drawings, structural calculations where applicable, and site supervision during execution. We coordinate the drafting with the qualified technician (architect, surveyor or engineer depending on the type of works).

What it involves

Document before building

Every intervention with changes in structure, layout, main services or built surface needs a project signed by a qualified technician. Depending on the type of works it is signed by an architect, surveyor or engineer: the choice depends on what the works touch, not on client preference.

Our role is to coordinate the drafting with the qualified technician: we hand over as-built drawings, dimensions of what is already built and the client requirements. The technician drafts the memorandum, drawings, quantities and, where applicable, structural calculations; during execution we keep the works aligned with that documentation.

The project is not paperwork: it is the technical roadmap. It defines materials, specifications, services and construction details before starting, which lets you control budget, schedule and responsibilities. A well-drafted project avoids on-site decisions.

Typical scope

What this service includes

The documentation covers from the survey of the existing state to site supervision during the works.

architecture

Descriptive and construction memorandum

Description of the works, materials, specifications and services. It is the governing document of the project and the basis for the detailed quote.

straighten

Works drawings

As-built, as-renovated, dimensions, sections, services and construction details at technical scale.

engineering

Structural calculations

When the works affect structure (openings in load-bearing walls, upper-floor extensions, reinforcements): calculation signed by the qualified technician.

description

Quantities and budget

Quantities by chapter and item with unit prices. Basis for controlling execution and any changes.

supervisor_account

Site supervision

Regular visits during the works, approval of materials, control of execution and signature of the required reports.

verified

Final works certificate

Document signed at completion, essential to request a first-occupation licence where applicable.

Workflow

Phases of a technical project: from survey to site supervision

Drafting a technical project is coordinated with the qualified registered technician and runs through chained documentary phases. This is the typical path, from the as-built to the works in progress.

  1. straighten
    01

    Survey of the existing state

    Dimensioned measurement of the existing property, on-site sketch and verification of usable areas against the Land Registry extract. Documentary basis for any subsequent intervention.

  2. draw
    02

    Preliminary design with the client

    Initial layout and volume proposal to validate with the client before drafting. It allows surfaces, uses and specifications to be adjusted without the cost of redoing the full documentation.

  3. architecture
    03

    Drafting with qualified technician

    The relevant architect, surveyor or engineer drafts the memorandum, drawings, quantities and, where applicable, structural calculations. Our role is to provide site data and coordinate deliverables.

  4. receipt_long
    04

    Professional-body stamp if required

    Where the municipality or works type demands it, the project is stamped at the corresponding professional body before filing. It is an additional procedure and cost on top of drafting.

  5. supervisor_account
    05

    Site supervision during works

    During execution the qualified technician makes the visits, approves materials and signs the final works certificate. We coordinate with their schedule so phases are not held up.

Drawings and reports

A technical file that the council accepts

Floor plans, sections, structural calculations and technical memos arrive at the planning desk ready to be filed. Clear documentation shortens the review of the licence.

Deliverable documents

What a renovation technical project delivers

The project is the document that defines the works before they start. These are the minimum deliverables the client receives.

description

Technical memorandum

Detailed description of specifications, construction solutions and applied regulatory references.

architecture

Dimensioned drawings

Architectural drawings (as-built and as-renovated), services (plumbing, electrical, drainage) and construction details.

straighten

Quantities and budget

List by items with units, unit prices and total — basis for any comparable quote.

assignment

Stamped documentation

Project stamped by the professional body when the municipal administration requires it.

From paper to site

The project only works if the site follows it

Technical oversight on site translates the drawings into real decisions. Changes are tracked, approved and reflected on the final as-built documentation.

  • check_circle Change log recorded and signed
  • check_circle Trade coordination with the main contractor

Worth knowing

Before deciding the scope

Some key decisions should be closed before drafting the project.

badge
Qualified technician

Architect for major works with structural or volumetric impact; surveyor for complex minor works; engineer for industrial services. We confirm the figure before starting.

balance
Realistic scope

Defining the exact scope before drafting avoids changes during the works. Each subsequent change may require a project annex.

receipt_long
Professional-body stamp

Many municipalities still require the stamp of the professional body on the project. It is a cost separate from drafting.

hub
Coordination with the licence

Project drafting goes hand in hand with municipal licence processing. They are complementary but distinct services.

Prior documentation

What we need before drafting the project

A project is drafted faster and with fewer changes when the client provides this starting documentation.

  1. 01
    description Real scope

    Before commissioning a project, clearly define the changes sought: layout, structure, services, finishes — this drives which engineering disciplines are involved.

  2. 02
    account_balance Applicable regulations

    Check whether the property is in a protected zone (BIC/PEPRI), belongs to a community with additional rules or sits on land with specific limitations.

  3. 03
    engineering Prior survey

    Giving the technician the original building project or a dimensioned survey of the current state speeds up and reduces the cost of drafting.

  4. 04
    verified Ownership paperwork

    Land Registry extract, cadastral certificate and, for works affecting third parties, authorisation from the building management.

  5. 05
    schedule Administrative calendar

    Factor in weeks for licence or notification resolution — works cannot start before the resolution.

In depth

Renovation technical projects in Málaga: drafting, stamping and site supervision

A renovation technical project is the document signed by the qualified technician (architect, technical architect or engineer depending on the type of works) that describes the intervention with drawings, memorandum, quantities and budget. It is essential whenever the municipal administration requires a major works licence or when the renovation affects structure, layout, main services or a protected façade. Without a project you cannot obtain a licence or compare quotes on a technical basis.

At reformasmalaga.net we coordinate the drafting with the qualified technician, the professional-body stamp where applicable and the filing with the town hall. During the works we provide site supervision to ensure execution matches the approved project. The project cost depends on the surface involved, the number of engineering disciplines engaged (structure, services, acoustics) and the level of detail required, and is agreed in fees before starting.

Frequently asked

Common questions about technical projects

01

What is the difference between the technical project and the licence?

expand_more

The technical project is the document signed by the qualified technician describing the works. The licence is the administrative act of the town hall authorising them. First the project is drafted; then it is submitted to the town hall to obtain the licence.

02

Can any architect sign the project?

expand_more

A registered qualified technician with current professional liability insurance must sign. For major residential works that is normally an architect; for minor works or renovations without structural impact a surveyor or technical architect is usually enough.
