Construction of Stables, Coin, Malaga

Newly constructed stables for a discerning client in Coin, Malaga.

The stables are built on a reinforced concrete foundation, with treated hard wood sidings and fully galvanized and welded steel structure.

The roof and roof supports are constructed from welded and painted steel. The actual roof is aluminium and polyurethane sandwich board, which is good looking and hard wearing, but also keeps the sun from heating the stables up.

Points to tie the horses up outside have been incorporated and the roof also covers the walkway in front of the horses stables, to both keep the sun out more and provide shelter when it is raining.

Each stable has its owning automatic water point.

If you would like your horses to have stables as nice as these, get in touch today.

We have experience of building outdoor schools for dressage and jumping, with different types of sand or fibre surfaces. These can be supplied with drainage, irrigation etc.

Covered outdoor terrace and other general building, Marbella

Building works to a country villa near Marbella progressing well. The sandwich board roof is in place, with the beams painted. Next project is to level and tile the floor and render the walls. This will be easier for our workers now, as they can work in the shade. The new roof over the patio has been put much higher than the original, this will make it cooler in summer and allow more light into the house.

In the interior more rooms have been stripped out ready for more new wiring.

We work in the Marbella, Mijas, Fuengirola and Estepona areas on the coast and inland to Alhaurin, Coin and Monda. We work with all types of building and renovations, including swimming pools and pool leak detection.

We can add terraces around your swimming pool, build extensions, whatever your villa on the Costa del Sol needs.

This beautiful country house is in the hills above Marbella on the way to Coin. In this post, you can see the progress that our building team has made on the interior of the property. The house was very old and had constantly had new parts added and so none of the rooms had straight walls or ceilings of the same height.

In this part, which will be the lounge, we have removed columns, chimneys, false ceilings and stone cladding. We have then installed the plasterboard on all walls and ceiling. This will mean that where there were 2 rooms with several different finishes and different ceiling heights, there is now one type of wall and one level of ceiling.

There is a cavity between the plasterboard and the original walls, so this will give added insulation.

All the floors will have the same slate grey tiles throughout.

In the adjoining room, we have started to strip out the ceiling and this will get the same treatment.

Swimming pool construction and renovation, Costa del Sol

We have vast experience in the renovation and construction of swimming pools.

For new swimming pool constructions, the most time consuming thing is the paperwork. The actual construction of a concrete swimming pool takes us about 2 weeks.

The first step in the construction of the swimming pool is to retain an architect. The architect will draw up plans and submit these for approval. Once the plans have been stamped, we can move on to applying for the building license. This can take any where from a few weeks to 12 months, depending on the area.

When the paperwork is completed and approved we can break ground. We favour sprayed gunite concrete for small domestic pools. The pool form is excavated to the required dimensions, and brick shuttering is built. Once this is in place, steel reinforcing is put into place, along with the pipes and light buckets.

The concrete is then sprayed at the wall under high pressure to a depth of around 200mm

After this we cast the white marmolina swimming pool surround, render the walls and tile with glass mosaic gresite.

Complete Villa Renovation in Coin, nr Marbella, Costa del Sol

The joy of purchasing a home on the Costa del Sol, is that you are able to put your stamp on it and make it truly personal. Renovating or reforming an existing finca or villa is a way of doing just that. It allows yo to get the finish that you want from your swimming pool area, terrace and interior living spaces.

Planning the schedule of works is the first step. We will not only discuss your immediate plans, but also your future plans to ensure that no unnecessary works are done and that no extra cost is incurred in the long term.

Part of our service can include the application for the correct licenses from the town hall (ayuntamiento), whether it be small works (obra menor) or major project (obra mayor). In general, for an obra mayor an architects project is required.

Our team of specialists includes architects, plumbers, certified electricians, tilers, painters.. we have it covered.

In this example, the project was of a huge scale, taking just under 6 months to complete. The entire home was stripped out down to bare walls and floors and then started again. This included all the electrics and plumbing. The villa was completely rewired and supplied with a new Boletin (safety certificate required by the energy company). Some of the plumbing was not good as new pipes had been added, others blocked off etc.. so leaks would probably be a problem in the future.

Each room was completely stripped out, rendered and plastered, then new high quality tiled floors put down. New windows and doors were installed.

Here are some progress photos, in later posts, we will post finished pictures and detailed descriptions of the building work involved.

Villa renovation Fuengirola

This is the first stages of a complete villa renovation in Fuengirola. The villa will undergo a complete reform, but the work will be carried out in stages to ease the financial burden of the project and to give the clients relief from the building works (as the clients have moved into the villa now it is habitable).

The first part of the renovation was carried out last year, renovating the interior, kitchen, bathroom, and living areas. This was all plastered and painted and is a comfortable living space.

The second part of the renovation was what can be seen here. The pool was leaking, so has been renovated using a Renolit AlkorPlan 3000 reinforced pool membrane which completely seals the structure, with a 10 year warranty. In addition some minor leaks were repaired in the pump room.

We have carried out some exterior painting with fine detail on the balustrade and replaced some doors and windows.

In the pictures you can see that work has started on the underbuild, The basement area will be made into a self contained apartment.

We can be flexible and work to our clients needs and budget.

Electrician Costa del Sol

We have qualified electricians on hand that can rewire villas and apartments and provide the all important “boletin”, to be able to get electrical connection.

If major renovation works are done on an older property, it makes little sense to leave old cable under new finishes.

As part of the rewiring, plug sockets, lights and light switches can all be put in more convenient places. Cables and conduits can be run for existing installations and also allow for future upgrades such as air conditioning units, pool heaters, exterior lighting, automated gates. Part of our approach to building works is to think about future requirements as well, this often saves money in the long run.

Pool transformation, pool made bigger, pool tiled and leaks repaired

We completely renovated this old leaking swimming pool. The first thing we did was diagnose the source of the leaks. We diagnosed leaks in 2 runs of plumbing, in both the skimmer pipes and the return pipe.

The bridge, which didn’t really have a purpose was removed so we could make the pool wider, as at this point it was very narrow. The pool looked even narrower once the bridge was removed. It is not normally recommended to alter the structure of a pool, but in this case it was feasible, as we were working on the shallow end of the pool, where there was less stresses involved.

Steps were built into the shallow end of the pool that also serve as a seating area, perfect for enjoying the panoramic views from this villa in Mijas.

Once the pool had been made wider and the steps had been built in, we cast a new “marmolina” pool surround. The marmolina is white concrete that is floated to give a uniform smooth surface, but still is non slip. To make the marmolina we have to build shuttering around the pool and pour the mix into it. After the shuttering comes off, we polish the edges and put expansion cuts in it.

After this the swimming pool can be tiled, grouted and cleaned ready for filling.

The plumbing is all new, for a trouble free future. When planning works to the pool, it is important to consider the future.

After all this work, the transformation was complete with a tropical turquoise tile and a beautiful new surround. This was quite an amazing transformation, taking our superb team about 2 weeks. For perspective, the pool measures 15m x 5m

Kitchen design and installation for country villa, Coin, Malaga

Kitchen design and installation for country villa, Coin, Malaga. Coin is a large inland town, about a 30 minute drive from both Marbella and Fuengirola.

As the kitchen is probably the most important room in the house, it needs to be carefully planned to ensure that the area flows smoothly. Our designers provide plans and 3D designs.

In this example, we completely stripped the room to a bare shell. All the old tiles were removed, along with all the old plumbing and electrics.

The client chose white cabinets with concealed handles and a stunning grey silistone top which glitters in the light from the shiny silver accents.

The walls of the kitchen have been left painted, which allows a quick colour change in the future, for this reason we specified that the upright of the kitchen work surface was slightly taller than usual.

The kitchen has been specified with dual ovens and all new matching equipment.

All the electrics in the kitchen are new, which has allowed us to put plug sockets and switches in more suitable places, as the hob and extractor unit have moved to the centre island. The dual ovens needed an uprated supply and the fridge has moved to a new location. The sink is in more or less the same place as the in the original kitchen, but has all new water supply and an undersink water heater.

As part of this project, the floor was stripped out and then tiled using a dark grey non slip tile. This tile will continue throughout the house, giving a modern feel to the villa.

This kitchen installation is part of a much larger villa renovation project, which has involved stripping most of the villa to a shell. On our facebook page we have a complete gallery of the building works that have been carried out.
