Start with the rooms, work and priorities
Turn your plans into a clear brief and keep the practical follow-up close to the property, even when you live abroad.
A renovation involves more than selecting finishes. Access, contractor communication, decisions and changes all need a clear process. LookHome MS helps international owners organise that local coordination for homes in Marbella and nearby Costa del Sol areas.
List the spaces you want to change, known problems and the level of finish you are considering. A kitchen or bathroom update should be priced around its specific tasks. A complete villa refurbishment needs a wider assessment of systems, structure and professional input.

Service details
01.
What LookHome MS can coordinate
- A practical brief and the information needed to request quotes.
- Communication with local trades and access to the property.
- Materials, scheduling questions and progress follow-up within the agreed scope.
- Records of decisions and changes for owner approval.
- Final observations and the list of items still to resolve.
02.
Budget with a written scope
Ask each contractor to state inclusions, exclusions, quantities, finish allowances and tax treatment. Keep the construction quote, professional services, approvals and separately priced works visible. Use the Marbella villa renovation cost guide as a planning reference, not a quote for your property.
03.
Confirm the approval route before work starts
The proposed works and property determine the required procedure. Review the Marbella renovation permit guide and ask your appointed technical professional to confirm the applicable permissions and documents. Coordination does not replace that assessment.
04.
A process from brief to handover
- Discuss the property, priorities and budget assumptions.
- Define the scope and appoint the necessary professionals.
- Compare itemised proposals and agree the programme.
- Coordinate access, communication and progress records.

07.
Prepare a Marbella project from abroad
- Prepare a brief with measured information, photos, priorities and a budget ceiling.
- Confirm the technical scope, municipal approval route and community access rules.
- Compare itemised contractor proposals, exclusions, tax treatment, payment stages and lead times.
- Agree who approves materials and variations, and how site progress is recorded.
- Record outstanding items at handover and retain invoices, product references and warranties.
The Marbella permit guide explains how to prepare your questions. For the applicable process, consult the municipality’s official licence and works-declaration forms. The appropriate professional must confirm the route for the actual works before they begin.
08.
See the scope behind the photographs
Our published portfolio documents a kitchen in Mijas Costa with new tiling, custom furniture and an Ocean Grey ceramic worktop, and a Marbella bathroom with a walk-in shower, vanity storage and replastered finishes. These examples show specific room works. They do not establish a fixed price or programme for a different property.
For full-villa planning use villa renovation. For appointments, site visits and decision records see renovation coordination.
