The planning permission process on Majorca

We will recommend you an architect, who will attend your ideas and will register in the town the basic building project. This basic project determines the concrete house location on the plot, the house dimensions to be built, its shape and height, and the swimming pool and terraces.

Normally, a period of one year is needed until obtaining the basic project license. First, the town hall checks it and then transfers it to the Consell Insular, or Island Council for its approval. Once approved, it is sent back to the hall that issues the basic project permit. In order to obtain the definitive permit, the detailed project must be submitted during the basic project approval process. This way, the building works can start immediately after receiving the basic project permit. The detailed project includes the following: it determines the materials to be used, the structure of the house and all other details.

The preparations and bill of quantity (tender)

While waiting for the permits, we will start conditioning the land. We will show you sample houses and typical materials from the area (mares, Santanyí stone, natural stone floors, etc) and we will guide you when visiting the companies in which you can choose the building materials for your home in Majorca.  We will also decide together the house’s electrical and sanitary installation. It will not be a problem if you decide to build your house according to ecological criteria. 

Once the most important und fundamental decisions are made, the surveyor of “Casal Mallorqui” will request all budgets to the different companies involved in the construction, like carpenters, plumbers, etc… These budgets will always respect your personal preferences established before, and the will be checked and compared so that you get the most accurate. Then we will decide with you which companies will be hired and thus determine the total cost of the entire project.
