Renovating bathrooms in Sicily: waterproofing details that matter – with measurable deliverables
Many renovations get stuck on details that look minor: an incorrect permit path, outdated drawings or a hidden constraint.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.
Permits and documentation
Check constraints and approvals (heritage, landscape, condominium) before appointing contractors.
Choose the correct route (CILA, SCIA or permit) based on the scope and the building context.
- Questions to ask contractors
- Constraints to check early
- How to keep changes under control
Schedule and cost control
Set up a bill of quantities and specifications that describe works, materials and tolerances in measurable terms.
Build a realistic programme and the right sequence of trades.

Where to start
Collect the key documents (permits, drawings, cadastre) and check consistency between existing condition and authorised state.
Define priorities and constraints: what is mandatory, what is desirable and what can wait.
- How to document decisions
- Constraints to check early
- Documents you should have
- 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.
