Turnkey renovation — Puglia
One contract. One point of contact. A home ready when agreed.
The turnkey formula is designed for those who cannot follow the site themselves: owners living far away, international clients, people with little time. You give us the budget and the requirements, we hand over the finished, inspected home.
Indicative price: Quote based on a bill of quantities: from 250 to 450 €/sqm depending on finishes and the condition of the property
Completed projects

How the work is done
Phase 1 — Brief and budget
In every townWe define the brief, the level of finish and the budget together: the specification for the single contract starts here.
What it really means
Design, permits, demolition, building works, systems, finishes, end-of-site cleaning and final inspection: all within a single contract with a clear specification.
For those working away
Weekly updates with photos and videos, progress video calls, payments tied to verifiable progress. You can follow everything from your own home.
Transparency on costs
Even on a lump sum, every item has a price reference: you know what the bathroom, the kitchen, the system are worth. Material substitutions are always approved in writing.
Why choose us — Turnkey renovation
The turnkey formula was created for those who cannot — or do not want to — follow the site day by day: owners who live far away, international clients, people with little time. One contract, one point of contact, a delivery date written in black and white.
Behind that simplicity lies a precise organisation: we coordinate designers, permits, trades, supplies and inspections; you approve the main milestones and receive documented updates. Every payment is tied to a genuine progress stage, which you can verify from the photos we send you each week.
It is how we work with most of the clients who buy in Puglia from abroad: video calls, remote signatures, quotes in English and a final quality that has nothing to envy in a site followed in person.
How we work, step by step
1. Brief and budget
Together we define goals, finish level and budget. The contract specification grows from here.
2. Full design
Design, detailed cost breakdown, programme of works with dates and penalties. All written before we start.
3. Single contract
One document governs works, supplies, permits and warranties: no coordination left to you.
4. Documented site
Weekly updates with photos and videos, progress video calls, payments against verifiable progress milestones.
5. Curated supplies
Early ordering of long-lead materials, quality control on every delivery to site.
6. Interim inspections
Phase checks on structure, systems and finishes: corrections are made immediately, not at the end.
7. Turnkey handover
Home inspected, clean, with compliance, warranties and full documentation. You walk in and live in it.
A masseria renovated from London
A British family bought a masseria to restore near Ceglie Messapica, following the entire project from England.
In eight months we managed the conservation restoration, systems, finishes and basic furnishing, with weekly updates and four inspection video calls. Handover came two weeks early: the family walked into a home that was ready, without ever having opened a site.

Frequently asked questions
+Is it suitable for clients living abroad?
Yes: it is the formula most of our international clients use. Communication in Italian and English, documented updates, signing and payments remotely.
+What happens if something unexpected comes up?
The typical surprises in historic buildings (irregularities, damp, structures) are analysed and quoted before we intervene: no unapproved additional costs.
+How do I follow the works if I live abroad?
Documented weekly updates, progress video calls, payments tied to verifiable progress milestones. Communication in Italian and English.
+What exactly does the contract include?
Design, permits, demolitions, building works, systems, finishes, cleaning and inspection. Furnishing and appliances are listed separately when requested.
+Are there penalties for delay?
Yes: if the delay is attributable to us, penalties are written into the contract. The delivery date is a commitment, not an estimate.
+Can I visit the site during the works?
Of course — in fact we invite you to the phase checks. If you cannot come, video calls replace the visit with the same clarity.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about costs, timelines and permits for Turnkey renovation. If your question is missing, write to us: we always reply.
What happens after you request a quote
Many clients ask us what happens after the first call. The answer is simple and always the same. Within one working day we call you back to understand the work, your priorities and the timeline you have in mind. Then we arrange the free site survey in your town: it is the most important appointment, because that is where ideas turn into real numbers. Measuring, photographs, listening: no serious quote is ever written without having seen the house.
Within a week of the survey you receive a detailed quote, itemised line by line, with materials, timelines and a work schedule. If you decide to go ahead, we handle everything: contract, permits, opening the site, documented progress, stage inspections and final handover. At every moment you know who to call, what is happening and how much is left. That is what we mean by working without surprises: not the promise of a perfect result, but the certainty of a clear process.
Our commitments, always
Free quote, no obligation
The survey and the quote are free of charge: if it is not for you, you owe nothing. That is how every relationship of trust begins.
One contact person
A single person follows your project from start to finish, knows every detail and picks up the phone when you need it.
Materials declared
Brand and model of every material are listed in the quote: you know exactly what comes into your home, with no surprises on site.
Aftercare
The warranty is only the beginning: we remain your point of reference for maintenance and any future work on the house.
+How much does it cost to start a renovation project?
The site survey and the quote are free of charge and without obligation. Design and permit costs start from 800-3,000 euros depending on complexity, and are always listed separately in the final quote.
+How long between the first call and the start of works?
On average four to six weeks: one or two for the quote, two to four for design and permits. Small jobs can move faster; restorations with restrictions need longer technical timescales.
+How are payments handled?
Through verifiable stage payments: every payment matches a completed and documented phase, with photographs. No disproportionate deposit before work begins.
+What guarantees do you offer?
Ten-year structural warranty, two years on workmanship defects, system compliance certificates at handover and full documentation delivered with the keys.
+Do you work with clients living abroad?
Yes, it is a large part of our work: weekly photo and video updates, progress video calls, quotes in English and one contact person managing the whole process.
+Can I choose my own materials and suppliers?
Of course. We prepare the schedule with exact quantities and work with your preferred suppliers, or recommend local ones we have worked with for years: the choice is always yours.
