Building amnesty: what can realistically be regularised – for coastal villas
Many renovations get stuck on details that look minor: an incorrect permit path, outdated drawings or a hidden constraint. In Sicily, coastal exposure and mixed building stock make early checks even more important.
Schedule and cost control
Track decisions on site: inspections, progress records and structured change management.
Set up a bill of quantities and specifications that describe works, materials and tolerances in measurable terms.
- Constraints to check early
- Documents you should have
- How to document decisions
Technical details that matter
Verify material compatibility with substrates, especially near the coast where salt air accelerates decay.
Design for durability and maintenance: the best-looking solution is not useful if it does not last.

Permits and documentation
Prepare a complete technical report to reduce requests for clarifications and delays.
Choose the correct route (CILA, SCIA or permit) based on the scope and the building context.
- Constraints to check early
- Documents you should have
- Questions to ask contractors
- 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.
- Mixing up cadastre updates and building permits (they are different).
- Ignoring waterproofing, slopes, ventilation and other “small” details.
- Applying standard solutions without reading the building context.
- No clear responsibilities between client, contractor and designers.
