As-built verification: how to avoid surprises at closing – to reduce noise and heat
Early decisions define schedule, quality and peace of mind during works. Clarify them before committing. In Sicily, coastal exposure and mixed building stock make early checks even more important.
Permits and documentation
Check constraints and approvals (heritage, landscape, condominium) before appointing contractors.
Choose the correct route (CILA, SCIA or permit) based on the scope and the building context.
- Questions to ask contractors
- How to document decisions
- Constraints to check early
Technical details that matter
Focus on critical junctions (waterproofing, thermal bridges, services) because most post-handover issues start there.
Verify material compatibility with substrates, especially near the coast where salt air accelerates decay.
- Documents you should have
- How to document decisions
- Constraints to check early
Schedule and cost control
Build a realistic programme and the right sequence of trades.
Track decisions on site: inspections, progress records and structured change management.
- Documents you should have
- Constraints to check early
- How to keep changes under control
- You are planning a renovation and want decisions backed by drawings and documents.
- You have doubts about compliance and cadastre alignment.
- You want one technical point of contact to coordinate the process.
- You need site supervision with clear records.
- Starting without a measured survey and without verifying the authorised state.
- Accepting vague quotations (generic items, undefined materials).
- Discovering constraints or approvals after works begin.
- Managing changes informally, without updated quantities and records.
