How long does it take to build a luxury villa?

One of the first questions that our clients ask us is clear: how much time do I need from the time I start until I move in?

The answer depends on several factors, but generally speaking, the construction of a luxury villa on the Costa Blanca usually takes between 14 and 18 months, from the start of the technical project to the final delivery.

Phase 1: Project and licenses (4–6 months)

Before starting to build, it is essential to develop the architectural project and obtain the municipal licenses.
This phase includes:

• Conceptual design and preliminary project

• Basic and execution project

• Geotechnical study

• Application and granting of building permit

Good planning at this stage avoids later delays.

Phase 2: Earthworks and structure (3–5 months)

Once the licence has been granted, the material execution begins:

• Excavation and foundations

• Structure and slabs

• Exterior enclosures

This is where the solid foundation of the home is built.

Phase 3: Installations and finishes (5–7 months)

It is the most visible phase and where the project gains personality:

• Electrical installations, plumbing and air conditioning

• Insulation and carpentry

• Cladding, kitchen, bathrooms and final details

• Swimming pool and outdoor development

In high-end homes, finishes require precision and technical coordination.

Factors that may influence the term

• Design complexity

• Location and characteristics of the land

• Level of customization

• Availability of specific materials

That's why it's critical to work with a team that plans rigorously from the start.
