Construction vs renovation: which is better for you?

When it comes to getting the home of your dreams, many clients ask themselves a crucial question: build from scratch or renovate an existing property? Both options have advantages and challenges. At Urbimed, we help you make the best decision based on your goals, budget, and lifestyle.

Advantages of building from scratch

100% personalized design: you can adapt the layout, materials and style to your preferences.
Energy efficiency from the start: sustainable installations, solar orientation and integrated technology.
Higher long-term value: a new home appreciates better in the luxury market.

Advantages of refurbishment

Consolidated locations: many homes to renovate are in central areas or with privileged views.
Simpler urban planning procedures: in many cases you do not need a major building permit.
Shorter timeframes: A renovation can take between 4 and 8 months, depending on the scope.

Key considerations

Structural condition of the property: renovating a home with structural damage can be more expensive than building.
Overall budget: with the same quality, new construction usually requires a higher initial investment.
Emotional value: Renovating a family home can have a sentimental value that outweighs the effort.

Conclusion: There is no one option better than another: it all depends on your priorities. At Urbimed, we study each case in detail to offer you a realistic, personalized solution aligned with your dreams. Whether it's a comprehensive renovation or a construction from scratch, the result should be the same: a spectacular villa that suits you.
