Whole flats and houses

Full home renovations in Barcelona

We renovate entire flats and houses in Barcelona: layout, installations, kitchen, bathrooms, floors and finishes in a single project. The work is done by our own team, with a Project Manager who coordinates your renovation and a site manager who runs the works.

Tell us what you want to renovate and when you would like to start. We arrange a visit to see the home, take measurements and prepare an itemised quote.

What a full home renovation includes

A full renovation involves the whole home: before starting, we define what is changed, what is kept, and which materials and finishes the works will use.

What goes into your renovation is set out in the itemised quote. Depending on the project, it usually covers these five areas:

Vanity unit and lit mirror in a marble-clad bathroom, with gold taps and niches beside the wall-hung toilet
  1. Demolition, building work and layout

    Removal of whatever is not kept, new partition walls if the layout changes, chases, false ceilings and wall preparation.

  2. Electrics, plumbing and air conditioning

    Electrical installation, light points and sockets, water supply and drainage, ventilation and air conditioning, depending on the starting condition.

  3. Kitchen, bathrooms and wet areas

    Waterproofing, wall and floor tiling, sanitaryware, taps, kitchen units and worktop, with the models you choose.

  4. Floors, joinery and finishes

    Flooring, doors and wardrobes, skirting boards, paint, lighting and switches.

  5. Permits, waste and site organisation

    The procedures the scope requires, removal of debris and protection of the building’s common areas.

A full renovation does not mean removing everything: arches, mouldings or interior joinery that give the home its character can be kept if this is decided at the start. That is what we did in this old flat in the Eixample

If you only need part of it, we also do kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations.

How much a full home renovation costs in Barcelona

As a guide, a standard full renovation in Barcelona costs between €750 and €1,050/m². The actual figure depends on the condition of the home, the layout, the installations, the materials and the finishes, and is set out in an itemised quote after visiting and measuring the space.

Guide · standard full renovation

€750–1,050/m²

Installations, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, paint and joinery renewed.

Other full-renovation scenarios

  • With a tighter scope

    €600–800/m²

    Layout largely kept, functional materials and few complex changes.

  • With more work and higher-end finishes

    €900–1,250/m²

    Complete kitchen, new bathrooms, installations and mid-to-high-end finishes.

  • Bespoke

    €1,200–1,600/m²

    Top-range materials, careful lighting design and special joinery.

Guide by size of home

Guide budgets for a full renovation, not a price list.

HomeGuide budget
60 m²€40,000 to €65,000
70–80 m²€50,000 to €85,000
90–110 m²€70,000 to €120,000
120–150 m²€95,000 to €170,000

What changes the price

Two homes of the same size can cost very different amounts. In a full renovation, these matter most:

  • Condition of the home

    Damp, downpipes or original wiring that turn up when walls are opened.

  • Layout

    Keeping the partition walls or changing the layout.

  • Installations

    How much of the electrics, plumbing and air conditioning needs renewing.

  • Kitchen and bathrooms

    How many bathrooms, which kitchen and with what equipment.

  • Finishes

    Flooring, joinery, false ceilings and lighting.

  • Access and permits

    Lift, residents’ association, street occupancy and building procedures.

If only the finishes are updated and the installations and spaces as a whole are not touched, it is no longer a full renovation. That kind of update can fall into other price ranges.

Who does what in your full renovation

The work is done by our own team and, while it lasts, you know who is in charge of each part.

  • Project Manager

    Your point of contact throughout the project. Coordinates with you the scope, the quote, the contract, the materials, any changes, the timings and communication between you and the site.

  • Site manager

    Runs the works in the home: coordinates the trades, organises the order of the work and checks each stage before moving on to the next.

  • Architect

    Part of our regular team. When the renovation needs a project or technical documents, the architect drafts and signs them. For major works, the project and the fees are paid by the client.

During the works you get weekly follow-up and a single person in charge of communication.

Permits and paperwork: who does what

  • We handle them

    The assabentat (notice of minor works), the street occupancy permit, waste management, the municipal fees for those procedures and utility connections or changes.

  • We support you

    If the renovation needs a major works licence, you apply for it as the owner and we support you throughout the process. The same applies to the permission or notice to the residents’ association.

  • The architect steps in

    When a technical project is required, our architect drafts and signs it. For major works, the project and the licence fees are paid by the client.

What a full renovation looks like, stage by stage

Seven stages, from first contact to handover, and the points where you decide.

  1. Tell us about your project

    Get in touch by form, WhatsApp, email or phone. Tell us what you want to renovate, the scope you have in mind and when you would like to start.

  2. Visit and measurements

    We see the home before quoting: we get to know it, take measurements and check installations, downpipes, access and the building’s constraints.

  3. Itemised quote

    Once the scope is defined, we prepare a detailed itemised quote so you know what each job includes. No obligation.

  4. Materials and finishes

    We define with you the flooring, tiling, sanitaryware, taps, joinery, the kitchen and the other models that form part of your renovation. What you choose is reflected in the quote.

  5. Planning and permits

    We organise the stages, the schedule and the materials, and prepare the permits and documents your works require.

  6. Works and follow-up

    Your Project Manager coordinates the project and the site manager runs the works and the trades. If additional work comes up, it is assessed, quoted and communicated to you. It is only carried out once you approve it.

  7. Handover and snagging

    Before handover we carry out functional checks and go through the home room by room.

How long it takes

As a guide, a full home renovation usually needs between 10 and 16 weeks of works, depending on size, condition, scope, materials, permits and decisions. The duration depends on each project; the actual date is set once scope, materials and permits are defined, and it is written into the contract.

Oscar B.October 2025

Después de comparar varias empresas de reformas en Barcelona, nos decidimos por Obrescat y fue la mejor decisión. Reformaron nuestro piso de 90 m² en el Eixample y todo salió genial: cumplieron los plazos, no hubo sorpresas con el presupuesto y la comunicación fue constante. Nos ayudaron a elegir materiales, optimizar espacios y hasta nos dieron ideas de diseño que no habíamos pensado. Se nota que tienen experiencia y que les gusta su trabajo. La relación calidad-precio es muy buena, sobre todo para el nivel de acabado que ofrecen.

Reformamos todo el piso con Obrescat: baño, cocina y pintura general. Desde el primer momento se nota que son una empresa de reformas en Barcelona muy seria. Cumplieron plazos, ajustaron el presupuesto y el resultado fue excelente.

Juan Pablo CamposMay 2026

Lo mejor de trabajar con Obrescat ha sido sentir que había seguimiento real durante todo el proyecto. Nerea hizo un gran trabajo en la fase inicial, tanto a nivel comercial como a la hora de preparar el presupuesto, siempre con transparencia. Después, Manuel coordinó la obra con profesionalidad y supo resolver bien los pequeños ajustes que fueron apareciendo. Como empresa de reformas en barcelona, nos han parecido muy recomendables por su implicación.

Contamos con Obrescat para la reforma y acondicionamiento de nuestra terraza (instalación de estructura metálica, arreglos de fachada, pintura y pequeños acabados) y el resultado ha sido justo lo que buscábamos.

Desde la fase de estudio del proyecto la comunicación fue excelente: contestaron rápido y con total disponibilidad para resolver todas nuestras dudas.

Durante la ejecución, el equipo fue muy puntual, atento y sobre todo flexible, adaptándose sin problema a los cambios de días y horarios que les pedimos.

Estamos muy contentos con la calidad final del trabajo. Los recomiendo sin duda.

Después de una mala experiencia previa con otra empresa, llegar a Obrescat fue un alivio. Buscábamos una empresa de reformas en Barcelona seria y profesional, y con ellos sentimos confianza desde el primer día. Nos ayudaron a definir el proyecto, nos orientaron con materiales y acabados y siempre fueron claros con los tiempos y el presupuesto.

Durante la obra estuvieron muy organizados, el piso se mantuvo bastante limpio dentro de lo posible y cualquier duda se resolvía rápido. No tuvimos sorpresas desagradables ni sobrecostes inesperados, algo que hoy en día se agradece mucho en el sector de las reformas Barcelona.

El resultado ha sido exactamente lo que queríamos. Un equipo muy recomendable.

Frequently asked questions about full renovations

Can I live at home during a full renovation?

In a complete renovation it is not usually advisable, because work on installations, kitchen, bathrooms and floors may overlap. If the project can be done in stages, we look at it during the visit.

What happens if something turns up when walls are opened?

It is assessed, quoted and communicated to you before any work is done. It is only carried out once you approve it.

Who handles the permits?

It depends on the scope. We handle the assabentat, the street occupancy permit and waste management. If the renovation needs a major works licence, our architect prepares the documents and we support you through the process; in that case, the project and the fees are paid by the client.

Can I choose the materials and furniture?

Yes. Materials and finishes are defined with you before starting. If you ask us to supply furniture or appliances, they are itemised in the quote.

Do you do 3D design before the works?

Yes, once the quote has been approved. If you need it earlier, the render is charged and then deducted.

How long does a full renovation take?

As a guide, between 10 and 16 weeks of works for a home. It depends on size, condition, scope, materials, permits and decisions; the actual date is set when the project is defined and it is written into the contract.
