Building projects in Tenerife

From the first drawing to the licence, without the runaround.

For major works, such as extending a home, adding a storey, building from scratch or altering the structure or façade, the town hall requires a project signed by a qualified professional. At obreko we take care of everything: plans, written report, measurements and budget, with projects signed and approved by a registered architect, and we submit it for you.

For smaller jobs we prepare the technical report for the prior notice to the town hall (comunicación previa) or the minor works licence. And because we also build, every project is designed so it can be carried out without surprises: what is drawn is what is quoted.

What's included

All the paperwork, sorted.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,
answered.

When it counts as major works: new builds, extensions or changes that affect the structure, the façade or the use of the property. For interior work that does not touch the structure, prior notice or a minor works licence is usually enough. Each town hall has its own criteria, so we confirm it with you before we start.
The basic project defines the work and shows that it complies with planning regulations: it is what you use to apply for the licence. The construction project develops the construction details, installations and measurements needed to build. They are often submitted together to save time.
It depends on the town hall and its workload, and can range from a few weeks to several months. What does depend on us is submitting a complete project and answering requests quickly, so the application does not stall.
Usually a simple technical report, plans or sketches of what is going to be done, photos of the current state and the quote. Depending on the town hall, it is processed as prior notice or as a minor works licence. We prepare the documents and submit them for you.
