GMS Arquitectura

When appointing an architect in Barcelona to renew a cèdula d’habitabilitat, the first step should be to clarify the precise scope of the assignment. For GMS Arquitectura, the available customer accounts mainly concern property visits, measurements, documentation and administrative procedures. Prospective clients should therefore establish which of these steps the quotation includes and what property information is needed in advance.

A written quotation should clearly distinguish professional fees from any additional charges that may apply. It is also worth asking whether assistance after submission is included, for example when the relevant authority requests further information. Work undertaken by the practice and processing by an authority are separate stages, so positive reports of swift completion do not replace an individual discussion of timing.

Access arrangements, a contact person and any necessary existing property documents should be agreed before the visit. Clients can also ask who will conduct the inspection and how progress updates will be provided. Where a home has particular features or has been altered, any possible need for additional checks or documents should be discussed beforehand.

The supplied reviews mainly concern a specific certification process. They do not establish that the practice also offers architectural design, refurbishment planning or construction supervision. Anyone seeking those services should ask separately about availability and relevant project experience. These points are general guidance, not legal advice.
