Design, permits, site supervision and turnkey delivery at a fixed price
Taking on a full refurbishment in Mijas always raises the same questions: what is the real budget? Will Mijas town hall require a major works permit? Who is accountable if something goes wrong? How do I coordinate builders, electricians and joiners without losing my mind?
Since 2006 at Klic Arquitectos we have been answering those questions project by project. We are not just another refurbishment company: we are an architecture studio specialised in full home refurbishments, which makes an enormous difference to every decision. We bring design with judgement, a technical project certified by COAMÁLAGA and site supervision by registered architects.
The budget is fixed and itemised line by line. No unexpected extras, no hidden margins, no opaque subcontracting. Your only concern is imagining how you want to live in your home.
Our service is complete and turnkey: from the first sketch to the day we hand you the keys. We design the interiors, process the permits with Mijas town hall, coordinate every trade and supervise the works so that refurbishing your home is an exciting experience rather than a headache.

Full home refurbishment in Mijas and Mijas Costa
A full refurbishment goes far beyond lifting floors and painting walls. It means rethinking completely how you inhabit your home. As architects focused on refurbishment, we bring what a conventional company does not: a global view, design with a signature and technical control at every stage.
The process starts with a visit in which we walk through the home with you, understand how you live and weigh up what the refurbishment can realistically achieve. Then we design the project with photorealistic 3D renders so you can see your future home before work begins. We draw up the technical project, process the relevant permit and coordinate every trade through to turnkey handover.
Planning regulations require a technical project signed by a registered architect for any refurbishment that alters the load-bearing structure or the main services. Carrying out works without a permit in Mijas can bring fines of up to 75% of the cost of the works, a stop order and the obligation to restore the original state. We handle the whole file with the Planning Department of Mijas town hall and the certification of the project at COAMÁLAGA.

What kind of refurbishments we do
As architects for refurbishments in Mijas, we offer a complete technical and creative service, tailored to the type of work your home needs.
We are with you whether you are renovating the whole house or would rather work on one specific room.
Full home refurbishment
We redo the layout, finishes and services so the home fits the way you live now. Includes technical project, permit handling and turnkey execution.
Partial refurbishment: kitchen, bathroom or rooms
Not every home needs a full refurbishment. Sometimes it is enough to renew the kitchen, the bathrooms or one key area. We work with fine surgery so the whole gains coherence, style and function.
Full refurbishment with interior design
We merge architecture and interior design under one criterion so every space makes aesthetic and functional sense. Ideal for transforming your home completely or preparing it as home staging before selling or letting.

Frequently asked questions about full refurbishments in Mijas
For a home of 80-100 m² the usual figure is 3 to 4 months on site, plus 1-2 months beforehand for design and permit processing at Mijas town hall. Before work starts we give you a detailed schedule with weekly milestones.
If the refurbishment affects the structure, the layout or the main services, the law requires a technical project signed by a registered architect. Beyond the legal obligation, the architect brings professional design, better use of space and technical control that avoids surprises and cost overruns.
Minor works (changing floors, tiling) are covered by a responsible declaration. Major works (structural changes, significant relayout or work on the façade) require a planning permit with a technical project certified by COAMÁLAGA. We handle the complete file with Mijas town hall.
We work with a fixed, itemised budget. It only changes if you decide to widen the scope or if hidden defects come to light that could not be foreseen at the earlier stage. Any adjustment is signed in writing before it is carried out.
In a full refurbishment it is not usually feasible. The home is left without a kitchen, bathrooms or basic services for several weeks. We plan the timing with you to keep disruption to a minimum and, if necessary, help you arrange temporary accommodation.
Architectural design with 3D renders, specification book, complete permit processing, coordination of every trade (masonry, plumbing, electrics, air conditioning, joinery, painting), site supervision with weekly visits and final handover with professional cleaning and technical certificates.
Fines that can reach 75% of the cost of the works, an immediate stop order and the obligation to restore the original state. Processing it properly is cheaper than taking the risk and gives legal certainty for future sales or inheritances.
For private homes more than two years old the reduced 10% VAT rate applies. For commercial premises or newly built homes the general 21% rate applies.
