OUR STUDIO

20 years of assured & independent Technical Advise

We are not intermediaries. When you contact Valencia Surveyor Studio, you are in direct contact with Technical Experts in the construction and Project Management fields.

We are a Technical Architecture Studio with more than 20 years of experience in the Construction Project Management and Property Acquisition Administration fields. As House Technical Architects and Building Engineers we act basically in the following roles: House-Property and Structural Surveyors, Project Managers and Appraisal Surveyors. We manage the financials, Quality Control, Health and Safety Coordination, Technical Inspections, material purchasing manufacturing. In addition, we will find qualified experts to address issues outside our core competencies.

You will be able to find more information about our Services on our web site. To summarize below is a summary of the expertise we bring to the tasks that will make buying and/or renovation of your property a safe investment in Spain, before and after your Home Purchase.

1. Technical inspections related to Architecture: A technical inspection is used to verify compliance with technical specifications. The inspection can be carried out visually or specific instrumentation may be necessary to determine if the entire structure or part of the house/building complies with the corresponding technical specifications according to the architectural standards of Spanish legislation.
2. Property/Building Survey Reports.
3. Homebuyer Surveys (also known as a Pre-Purchase Survey).
4. Verbal Survey Reports(Online reports): These surveys are not accompanied by a written part. This is a visual inspection made by us with the future buyer and discussion of the building/house issues found during the inspection. This survey can also be completed with an online conversation. This type of survey report is relatively cheaper than the first one, as the written part is not included.
5. “Rustic” Land Inspections:If you are buying land or a property in the country, Such as a farmhouse or similar, it is essential to determine if it is placed in an area where urbanization is allowed (in this case it is called a “finca urbana”, or “suelo urbano” ) or where urbanization and residential developments are not allowed (“finca rústica” or “suelo rústico”). In both cases there are exceptions that we must know before any purchase.
6. Commercial Properties Inspections

Due to our experience, the Studio can also assist you in the different phases of Project Management and Interior Design including but not limited to the following:

1. Design process and detailed plan drawings: 
   • Preparing detailed drawings and final design plans
   • Showing actual sizes and shapes for rooms and other spaces.
   • Outlining construction specifications and  listing the major materials to be used.
   • Upon approval of the design drawings, our Studio will work with you to find contractors to give you cost estimates.
2. House Renovation Project Management
3. House Renovation Council License Control 
4. Construction documents: One of the most important elements of Our Studio’s services is construction documents. Our Studio will develop detailed drawings and material specifications. The contractor will use both to estimate construction costs and to build the project.
5. Budgeting and cost analysis.
6. Hiring a contractor: You have multiple options when it comes to hiring a contractor, including asking Our Studio to make recommendations or choosing a contractor on your own. Our Studio can assist you in selecting contractors by reviewing bids and estimates based on the construction documents.
7. Building Renovation process control:
   • Scheduling and controlling the different phases of the construction project from design to completion.

Technical Architect & Building Engineer Team

Official College Membered

I’m David Esteve Bueno, Technical Architect & Building Engineer in Valencia, Spain, graduated with a Technical University Degree endorsed by the Universidad Politécnica de València and completed our Studies with a Final Project Degree at the University of Applied Sciences in Oldenburg, Germany.

The Polytechnic University of València is one of the most prestigious and professional Institutions in Spain, It promotes and enforces the highest national standards in the valuation, technical management and development of the Building Construction, Engineering and Infrastructure fields.

Our Technical University was recently declared the best Spanish Technical University according to the university rankings of ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities)

In Spain, Building & Property Surveyors Knowledge is one of the areas of study  offered by the Spanish Technical Architects & Building Engineer University in a degree program at the Universidad Politécnica. It is intrinsically connected to  “the Spanish way” of construction and strongly protected by the Government through the General Council of Technical Architects & Building Engineers. The Council and Universidad Politécnica are responsible for the high quality of Technical expertise available in Spain.

Bear in mind that in Spain (in almost 100% of the cases) for Government Entities, Notaries, Lawyers, Official Institutes, Insurance Companies, Land Registries, and creators of Title Deeds, you will be required to furnish Official Technical Survey Reports, Technical Inspections, Official Energy Efficiency Certificates or other types of Survey Reports related to your house purchase.

On the other hand you can also decide to have a private Inspection, for your own safety, by ordering a Property & Building Survey Report to evaluate the possible  deficiencies and different construction problems found in your future house, before the purchase is done.

The law in Spain is very simple & clear: Only Qualified Technicians  who are members of  Official Technical Colleges will be able to assist you and help to solve any problems, that the City Council or other Main Government Organizations are requiring you to correct.

One of the reasons why we decided to create “Valencia Surveyor Studio”, is to be able to assist many foreign investors, guaranteeing their investments and expectations in Spain with our fair and transparent services. Investors  from the UK, United States, France, Germany & Sweden, are some of our clients.
