If you have arrived here, it is because you are looking for a renovation company you can trust — one that listens to you, explains the process clearly and delivers results that match what was agreed. We know that a renovation is a big decision, so at Obrescat we put transparency and communication first.
Over years of work in Barcelona, we have built a reputation based on honest budgets, realistic timelines and finishes that stand the test of time. Every project is unique, and we treat it that way.
We are a multidisciplinary team of builders, architects, interior designers and technicians who work together to offer a complete, end-to-end service. From the initial visit to the final handover, we take care of everything so you do not have to worry about a thing.
Whether you need a full turnkey renovation or specific work on a single room, we have the experience and the team to handle it. Every service we offer is carried out by qualified professionals using high-quality materials selected to suit your project and budget.
We cover all trades: construction, plumbing, electrical, tiling, carpentry, painting and more — so you only need one point of contact for the whole renovation.

We believe a successful renovation is built on clear planning, honest communication and meticulous execution. From the very first meeting we listen to what you want and translate it into a realistic, well-organised project.
Our teams work with discipline and care, respecting your home, your neighbours and the agreed schedule. Every phase is supervised to ensure the quality of the result.
Every project starts with listening to you. We visit the space, understand your needs and budget, and suggest the best solutions before a single tool is picked up.
The quality of a renovation is only as good as the materials used. We work with trusted suppliers to ensure every finish looks great and lasts for years.
Planning is one of our top priorities. We define clear milestones from the start and monitor progress daily so the renovation stays on schedule and within the agreed budget.
A renovation does not end on the day of handover. We remain available after completion to resolve any questions or issues that may arise, and all our work carries a warranty.
Our work and commitment to quality have been recognised by several of Barcelona’s leading media outlets. From specialist renovation publications to general lifestyle magazines, Obrescat’s projects have been featured as examples of well-executed, design-led transformations.
At Obrescat we do not just renovate spaces — we take care of the people who live and work in them. We know that a renovation is much more than construction work: it is a process that affects your daily life and requires trust, clarity and commitment from the company you choose.
That is why our clients recommend us: because we say what we are going to do and then we do it. We are an honest, experienced team that works with the same care on every project, regardless of size.
We believe every space deserves to be treated as unique. We take the time to understand your vision and apply premium-quality finishes that reflect your style and meet your practical needs.
More than a decade of work across Barcelona's most demanding neighbourhoods has given us the knowledge and skills to tackle any renovation — from a simple bathroom refresh to a complete structural overhaul.
For us, respect for the client means honouring every commitment — the timeline, the budget and the finish. If anything changes, we always discuss it with you first before taking action.
A renovation only works well when every phase is properly planned and executed. Here is how we approach each project from start to finish, so you always know what to expect at every stage.
We visit your home or commercial space to assess its condition, listen to your ideas and understand your budget. We then prepare a detailed, no-obligation quote with a clear breakdown of all costs.
Once the project is confirmed, we create a detailed plan covering the work schedule, materials and finishes. If needed, we also develop 3D visualisations so you can see the result before work begins.
Our teams carry out the work with precision and discipline. A project manager supervises each phase daily, keeping you informed of progress and resolving any issues quickly so the renovation stays on track.

Examples of flat and commercial renovations in Barcelona — a selection of recent projects that showcase our craftsmanship, attention to detail and design approach.
Each district of Barcelona has its own architectural character, and our approach adapts accordingly. From the wide avenues of Eixample to the narrow medieval lanes of Ciutat Vella, we know how to make the most of every space.
Grand flats with high ceilings and original features that call for a careful balance between preserving heritage and bringing the space up to modern standards.
Here it is all about light, balconies and character. We respect the neighbourhood's creative spirit while making homes more comfortable, functional and energy-efficient.
Spacious homes, generous terraces and high-end finishes. Our renovations in this area reflect the quality and discretion that residents expect.
Areas where architecture demands restraint and precision. We work with quiet, durable materials that enhance the space without overpowering it.
Historic buildings with centuries of character. We specialise in bringing old structures up to current standards while preserving the original charm and atmosphere.
Areas where energy efficiency improvements make a real difference to comfort and running costs. We specialise in practical, value-for-money renovations that transform everyday living.
Former industrial warehouses, loft-style flats and contemporary developments. A dynamic area that inspires creative, modern renovation projects.
Homes with courtyards, local neighbourhood shops and functional flats in need of a refresh. We deliver solid, well-crafted renovations that improve daily life.
We have completed renovation projects across all of Barcelona’s main districts and in the surrounding metropolitan area. Each zone has its own architectural character and regulatory requirements, and our local expertise means we can navigate them all with confidence.
Renovation costs vary depending on many factors: the size and condition of the space, the materials chosen and the scope of the work. We always provide a detailed, fully itemised quote before starting, so there are no surprises once work is underway.
The price of a renovation depends on the condition of the property, the surface area, the choice of materials and finishes, and the complexity of the work required. We assess all these factors carefully before preparing our quote.
A standard full renovation typically includes demolition, structural work, plumbing, electrical installation, tiling, plastering, painting and finishing. Indicative costs vary by district and specification — contact us for a tailored estimate.
Simply tell us what you want to renovate — by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form — and we will arrange a free visit to assess the space and prepare a detailed, no-obligation quote.
Choosing the right company is the most important decision you will make during a renovation. Look for transparency in the quote, a verifiable track record, clear communication and a team that listens to your needs. Ask to see completed projects, check reviews and make sure everything is in writing before work starts. A serious renovation company will never ask for large upfront payments and will always be willing to explain every line of the budget in detail.
Before starting a renovation it is essential to know which permits are required. In Barcelona the regulations vary depending on the type and extent of the work, the building’s listed status and the district. Failing to obtain the correct permits can result in fines and complications when selling the property. At Obrescat we manage all the paperwork on your behalf.
Minor works licences apply to non-structural interventions such as replacing floors, updating plumbing or electrical systems, and refitting kitchens and bathrooms. They are quicker to obtain but still require submitting the correct documentation to the town hall.
If the renovation involves removing or erecting partition walls, modifying the building structure, changing the use of a space or altering the facade, a major works licence will be required. This involves a longer approval process and typically requires the involvement of a qualified architect.
We handle everything involved in obtaining permits and licences for your renovation in Barcelona, from preparing the technical reports to liaising with the relevant authorities, so you can focus on the end result.
We hold insurance policies that protect both the works and third parties throughout the renovation, giving you complete peace of mind from start to finish.
Before work begins we protect entrance halls, lifts, staircases and any interior areas not being renovated with appropriate protective coverings, and we leave everything clean at the end of each working day.
All our work comes with a guarantee covering both the labour and the materials used. If any issue arises after handover, we come back to resolve it at no additional cost within the warranty period.
Once the renovation is complete, we remain at your disposal. Whether it is a question about maintenance, a small adjustment or an unexpected issue, our after-works team is always available to help.
Sustainability is no longer just a trend — it is a responsibility. At Obrescat we integrate sustainable practices into every renovation: from the materials we select to the way we manage waste on site. Our goal is to deliver spaces that are beautiful, durable and kinder to the environment.
We work with suppliers who offer certified sustainable options — low-emission paints, FSC-certified wood, recycled tiles and materials with environmental product declarations — without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
We advise on reducing energy consumption through improved joinery, insulation, efficient HVAC systems and smart lighting. These measures lower monthly bills and increase the property's energy rating.
We manage the entire process of removing and recycling construction waste, working with authorised waste managers and separating materials for recycling wherever possible, in accordance with Barcelona's regulations.
Every home is different, so we tailor sustainability measures to suit your specific project, budget and priorities. There is always a way to make a renovation greener without significantly increasing costs.
Small-scale interventions that refresh the look of a space without touching the structure: painting, changing floors, updating fixtures and fittings, or replacing doors and skirting boards.
Work focused on specific areas such as kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms. Ideal when the overall condition of the property is good but certain rooms need a complete update.
A complete transformation of the property from top to bottom: new layout, all trades, new installations and finishes throughout. The most comprehensive option, delivering maximum impact and value.
Interventions that modify partition walls, create new openings, alter the floor plan or affect load-bearing elements. These require an architect's involvement and the relevant permits from Barcelona City Council.
One of the biggest fears when renovating is not being able to visualise the end result before committing to it. Our 3D design service solves that problem: we create photorealistic renders of your future space so you can see exactly what it will look like, make changes before work begins and arrive at a renovation you are completely confident in.
We create accurate 3D models that faithfully represent your renovated space — with real dimensions, chosen materials and actual lighting conditions — so you can make informed decisions with total confidence.
If you are unsure between different layout options, we can model several alternatives so you can compare them visually and choose the one that best suits your lifestyle and the property's characteristics.
Renders allow you to see how floors, wall coverings, furniture and lighting work together in the actual space, making it much easier to choose the right combination before any material is ordered or installed.
By defining and validating every decision before work starts, we minimise last-minute changes, avoid costly mistakes and keep the renovation moving smoothly and to schedule.
We divide the budget into clear phases linked to verifiable milestones in the work. You only pay for what has actually been completed, giving you full control of your investment throughout.
All payments are made by bank transfer, and every transaction is documented with a corresponding invoice. We never ask for large cash payments or undocumented deposits.
We provide a fully itemised quote that clearly shows every cost — labour, materials and any additional services. No surprises, no hidden charges: what is in the document is what you pay.
If during the works you decide to add or modify something, we discuss the implications for cost and schedule with you first and prepare a written addendum before proceeding. Nothing is done without your explicit agreement.
Before starting a renovation it is normal to have questions. Here are the answers to the queries our clients ask most often, covering everything from permits and timelines to costs and on-site management.
