Renovating bathrooms in Sicily: waterproofing details that matter – for coastal villas
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.
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.
- How to document decisions
- How to keep changes under control
- Constraints to check early
Schedule and cost control
Set up a bill of quantities and specifications that describe works, materials and tolerances in measurable terms.
Track decisions on site: inspections, progress records and structured change management.
- Constraints to check early
- How to keep changes under control
- Questions to ask contractors
Where to start
Define priorities and constraints: what is mandatory, what is desirable and what can wait.
Collect the key documents (permits, drawings, cadastre) and check consistency between existing condition and authorised state.
- Questions to ask contractors
- How to document decisions
- Constraints to check early
- You need a quick technical check before buying or signing.
- You must confirm the right permit path and missing documents.
- You want measurable specs to compare quotes properly.
- You started works and need to regain control of scope and changes.
- 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.
