Finding the Right Architect
Whether you are renovating an apartment, restoring a traditional Catalan masia, building a new development on a plot, or redesigning a penthouse — working with the right architect is essential. VERV ONE has built a curated network of architects across Sitges, Castelldefels, Gavà, Barcelona, Girona and the Costa Brava in Spain, as well as The Cotswolds in the United Kingdom.
We take the time to understand your vision, your budget and the specific requirements of your project, then connect you with architects whose style, expertise and track record align with what you need. From the initial concept through to planning approvals, we ensure you have the right professional guiding your project from the start.

Architect Fees
Architect fees depend on the type and complexity of your project. A full renovation of a villa involves different professional requirements than a cosmetic update of an apartment, a masia restoration or a new build on a plot. Factors such as the scope of design work, technical drawings, site supervision and the municipality where the project is located all influence the final fee.
VERV ONE helps you understand these costs transparently from the outset. We ensure you receive clear, detailed proposals from architects before any commitment is made, so there are no surprises as your project progresses.
Areas We Serve
Our architect network covers a carefully selected range of locations, each with its own architectural character and building regulations:
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right architect for my project?
Finding the right architect depends on your project type, style preferences and budget. VERV ONE has established relationships with a curated network of architects across Sitges, Castelldefels, Gavà, Barcelona, Girona and the Costa Brava, covering everything from apartment renovations and masia restorations to new-build developments and plot constructions. We match your vision with architects who have proven experience in similar projects.
What types of projects do your architects cover?
Our architect network covers the full spectrum of property projects: apartment refurbishments, villa renovations, traditional Catalan masia restorations, new-build developments on plots, penthouse redesigns, commercial-to-residential conversions, and contemporary new constructions. Whatever the scope, we connect you with specialists in that area.
Do I need special permits for renovation or new build?
Yes, most projects require a licencia de obras (building licence), and the requirements vary depending on the municipality, the scope of work and whether the property is in a protected area. Historic buildings may need additional approval from heritage commissions. Each city council has different processing times and requirements. Our team handles the entire permit process, ensuring compliance with all local regulations.
How much does an architect charge?
Architect fees depend on the type and complexity of the project. A full renovation of a villa will involve different fees than a cosmetic update of an apartment or a new build on a plot. We help you understand these costs upfront and ensure transparent fee agreements before any commitment is made.
Can VERV ONE coordinate the architect with the rest of the project?
Absolutely. Our architectural services integrate seamlessly with our project management. We coordinate between your architect, constructors, suppliers and local authorities — providing a single point of contact from initial design through to final handover. This is especially valuable for international clients managing projects remotely.
