Energy retrofit in Sicily: comfort, insulation and ventilation – with measurable deliverables
Before you start, align documents, scope and priorities. That alone prevents most late changes and cost overruns. 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.
- How to document decisions
- Questions to ask contractors
- Documents you should have
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.

- How to document decisions
- Documents you should have
Technical details that matter
Design for durability and maintenance: the best-looking solution is not useful if it does not last.
Verify material compatibility with substrates, especially near the coast where salt air accelerates decay.
- Constraints to check early
- How to keep changes under control
- How to document decisions
- 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.
