Renovating bathrooms in Sicily: waterproofing details that matter – with clear documentation
If the project starts without solid technical ground, money goes into corrections instead of outcomes. Here is what to check early. In Sicily, coastal exposure and mixed building stock make early checks even more important.
Where to start
Collect the key documents (permits, drawings, cadastre) and check consistency between existing condition and authorised state.
Commission an accurate measured survey and clear drawings: without reliable measures, design is guesswork.
- How to document decisions
- Questions to ask contractors
- Documents you should have
Permits and documentation
Choose the correct route (CILA, SCIA or permit) based on the scope and the building context.
Check constraints and approvals (heritage, landscape, condominium) before appointing contractors.
- How to document decisions
- How to keep changes under control
- 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.

- How to document decisions
- Questions to ask contractors
- 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.
