Complete home renovation
Comprehensive renovations in Barcelona
At Obrescat we carry out comprehensive renovations in Barcelona for flats, older properties and homes that need a complete renovation: layout, services, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, joinery, paintwork, lighting, permits and the coordination of every trade.
We work with a site visit, measurements, an itemised quote, realistic planning and on-site supervision so your renovation moves forward with order, clarity and good finishes.

A comprehensive renovation company in Barcelona for whole homes
As a comprehensive renovation company in Barcelona, at Obrescat we coordinate the whole process of renovating a home: from the first visit through to final handover.
Before talking about materials or finishes, we look at the state of the home: the current layout, the condition of the services, structure, ventilation, natural light, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, joinery, damp, access, the residents’ association and any permits that may be needed.
That lets us put together a realistic proposal and avoid one of the most common problems in comprehensive renovations: incomplete quotes that look cheap at first but grow during the works because the scope was never properly defined.
How much a comprehensive renovation costs in Barcelona
The price of a comprehensive renovation in Barcelona depends on the square metres, the starting condition, the services, the number of bathrooms, the kitchen, the materials, the joinery, the heating and air conditioning, any layout changes, the permits and the level of finish.
For homes where many items are kept and the finishes, paintwork, flooring or specific areas are updated.
A tighter renovation, with a controlled scope, practical materials and few complex changes.
The usual range for complete renovations covering services, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paintwork and joinery.
When the renovation includes a complete kitchen, new bathrooms, services and mid-to-high level finishes.
For bespoke renovations, superior materials, carefully designed lighting, special joinery and premium solutions.
Example quotes by size
Which items push up the cost of a comprehensive renovation
The items that can shift the price most are moving partition walls, a full rewire, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, the kitchen, the number of bathrooms, internal and external joinery, flooring, suspended ceilings, lighting, insulation, hidden damp, permits, bespoke finishes and difficult logistics.
To compare quotes for comprehensive renovations, the total on its own is not enough. You need to check whether they cover the same items, measurements, specifications, transport, waste management, permits, site coordination, paintwork, finishing touches, cleaning and the guarantee.
What a comprehensive home renovation includes
A comprehensive renovation can cover many items, but not every quote covers the same ones. That is why it matters to define from the outset what will be renovated, what stays, what gets replaced and what specifications will be used.
Demolition, masonry and layout changes
Removing old fittings, taking down partition walls, forming new divisions, chasing, suspended ceilings, wall repairs and surface preparation.
Electrics, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
Checking or renewing lighting points, sockets, the consumer unit, water feeds, drainage, ventilation, heating and air conditioning, and gas where applicable.
Electrician in BarcelonaKitchen, bathrooms and wet areas
Kitchen, bathrooms, waterproofing, wall coverings, sanitaryware, units, taps, lighting, shower screens, worktops and appliances.
Floors, joinery, paintwork and lighting
Flooring, parquet, doors, wardrobes, skirting boards, paintwork, task and decorative lighting, switches and sockets, plinths and finishing touches.
Permits, waste and site coordination
Paperwork according to scope, liaison with the residents’ association, rubble removal, protection of communal areas and organising access.

The kinds of comprehensive renovation we carry out
Not every comprehensive renovation has the same goal. Some are about updating a home to live in it better; others are about getting a flat ready to let, to sell or to raise its value; and others call for a premium project with bespoke materials and solutions.
01
Comprehensive renovation of an older flat
In older flats we check the services, soil stacks, ventilation, uneven walls, sloping floors, ceilings, joinery and any restrictions set by the residents’ association.
02
Comprehensive renovation to live in
Comfort, storage, daily routines, working from home, family life, lighting, heating and air conditioning, and maintenance.
03
Renovation to let or sell
Hard-wearing materials, neutral colours, a practical layout and controlled items to improve the return.
04
Premium or bespoke renovation
Lighting, bespoke joinery, a high-end kitchen, special bathrooms, natural flooring and home automation.
05
Partial renovation within a home
Kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paintwork, doors, services or a partial layout change, depending on your priority.
Our comprehensive renovation process, step by step
A comprehensive renovation needs order. Without planning, every decision becomes urgent and every change can affect cost, timelines and the quality of the result.
Site visit and measurements
We check the home, services, layout, walls, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, access, the residents’ association and any constraints.
Layout, materials and 3D design
We weigh up layout, materials, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting and joinery. We can also work with 3D design for renovations.
Itemised quote and schedule
We prepare a quote broken down by item, with an indicative schedule, so you know what will be done and when.
Coordinated execution across the trades
We organise demolition, masonry, services, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, joinery, paintwork and lighting.
Final check, guarantees and handover
We check that everything works, along with the finishes, finishing touches, cleaning and any outstanding details before final handover.
Comprehensive renovation timelines
How long a comprehensive renovation takes depends on the size, the condition of the home, technical complexity, permits, material availability, the kitchen, bathrooms, joinery and how many decisions are settled before work starts.
60–80 m² flat
A standard comprehensive renovation can take between 8 and 12 weeks, depending on scope and complexity.
90–110 m² flat
This can need between 10 and 16 weeks, particularly with a kitchen, two bathrooms, services, floors and doors.
Layout changes, kitchen and bathrooms
If the kitchen is being opened up, or there are full services, bathrooms or bespoke solutions, allow more time.
What causes delays
Permits, changes mid-project, undecided materials, damp, the residents’ association, difficult access or decisions still pending.
Permits and regulations
Licences and permits for comprehensive renovations in Barcelona
A comprehensive renovation can call for different procedures depending on the type of works. Painting, changing floors or renovating a bathroom is not the same as altering the layout, working on the services or affecting communal elements.
Assabentat, prior notification or works licence
For many interior works a simple procedure or prior notification is enough, but that depends on the real scope of the project.
When a qualified professional or a formal project is needed
A qualified professional, a technical report or extra documentation may be required if the works affect the layout, services, structure, accessibility or protected elements.
Works in older buildings or shared blocks
It pays to plan working hours, access, protection of communal areas, waste management, soil stacks, internal courtyards and communication with the residents’ association.

How much does a comprehensive renovation in Barcelona cost?
It depends on the square metres, the condition of the home, services, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, joinery, paintwork, heating and air conditioning, and specifications. The price bands per square metre are published in the price table on this same page, and which one applies depends on the actual scope of the work.
What does a comprehensive renovation include?
It can include demolition, masonry, layout changes, electrics, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, doors, paintwork, lighting, permits, waste management, coordination of the trades and the final clean.
How long does a comprehensive renovation take?
A comprehensive renovation of 60–80 m² can take between 8 and 12 weeks. A home of 90–110 m² can need between 10 and 16 weeks. The timeline depends on the scope, permits, materials, kitchen, bathrooms, services and anything unexpected.
Do I need a permit for a comprehensive renovation?
It depends on the scope. Many interior renovations need a procedure or prior notification, but if the structure, façade, communal elements or the layout are significantly affected, technical documentation or a specific licence may be required.
Can I live at home during the renovation?
During a full comprehensive renovation it is not usually advisable to stay in the home, because the services, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, paintwork and circulation areas are all affected. With partial renovations, working in phases can be looked at.
How is a comprehensive renovation paid for?
The usual approach is staged payments: a deposit or start-of-works payment, payments as the works progress and a final payment on handover. What matters is that the payment schedule is tied to real progress and set out in writing.
What can push the quote up?
Costs can rise with layout changes, old services, damp, the kitchen, the number of bathrooms, external joinery, heating and air conditioning, premium materials, bespoke furniture, permits, unforeseen issues or changes made during the works.
Do you produce a 3D design before the works?
Yes. On projects where it helps to see the layout, materials, kitchen, bathrooms or overall style before starting, we can use 3D design so decisions are made with more confidence.
