Building amnesty: what can realistically be regularised – with measurable deliverables
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
Prepare a complete technical report to reduce requests for clarifications and delays.
Check constraints and approvals (heritage, landscape, condominium) before appointing contractors.
- Questions to ask contractors
- Documents you should have
- Constraints to check early
Technical details that matter
Design for durability and maintenance: the best-looking solution is not useful if it does not last.
Focus on critical junctions (waterproofing, thermal bridges, services) because most post-handover issues start there.
- How to document decisions
- Questions to ask contractors
- Documents you should have
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
- 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.
- 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.
