Do you need a project manager when you are building a house in Spain?

Absolutely. And that’s exactly what Eco Vida Homes specializes in—Project Management.

Building a home in Spain is a complex process, and having an experienced project manager on your side can make all the difference. Here’s why:

  • You need a project manager to make sure your project stays on budget.
  • You need a project manager to manage communications between you and your team.
  • You need a project manager to advocate for your outcomes and makes sure your team adhere to best practice.
  • You need a project manager to make sure the project happens on time.
  • You need a project manager to help you navigate the nuances of the Spanish system explain who does what.

Your Options with Eco Vida Homes

At Eco Vida Homes, we offer three levels of project management, depending on the level of support you need:

  1. Design & Build – The Hassle-Free Approach

This is the most reliable, economical, and stress-free option.

  • We provide the technical team (architects, engineers, and specialists). These are reliable people who work to our standards.
  • The cost of project management fee is included in the professional fees we charge. Those fees are competitive even if there were no project management so its like getting project management for free
  • We recommend a trusted contractor who meets our standards and competes in a competitive tender, ensuring best value for money.
  • You contract separately with the contractor, but we oversee the entire process, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

With this approach, everything works as one coordinated team with pre-agreed systems, reducing risks and delays.

  1. Project Management Light – Advisory Support

For those who prefer to select their own technical team (architects and contractors), but still want expert guidance.

  • You hire your own technical team and contractor, and we advise you in the background.
  • We help you ask the right questions, negotiate agreements, and follow best practices.
  • We don’t have direct influence over the professionals you hire, but we ensure you stay informed and make smart decisions.
  1. Comprehensive Project Management – Full Oversight, Maximum Control

If you want to retain direct contracts with your team and contractor but need full professional support, this is your best option.

  • We oversee the entire project, just as we would in our Design & Build model.
  • You still contract directly with your professionals, but we are actively involved from start to finish.
  • We manage schedules, resolve issues, and enforce best practices, giving you peace of mind without relinquishing control.
