Handover

A dedicated project manager coordinates everything on-site. Daily updates and a clean handover. We work to deliver an invoice that matches the quote — and if anything changes, you'll know before it does.

- Authorised disposal documentation
- Written warranty on completed works
- Hidden extras for ‘unagreed’ items
- Unplanned touch-ups billed separately
- Debris disposal ‘left to you’
What’s different
What usually goes wrong — and how we handle it.
The three most common pain points of Bologna renovations, from the first calls we take.
What’s included in every job, always.
The paperwork and safety compliance is not an add-on — it’s already inside the price you see in the quote.
Verified Compliance Docs
Our crews carry a Patente a Crediti (mandatory since October 2024) and the required A1 social security certificates. You don't need to check anything.
Zero Homeowner Liability
Safety compliance (D.Lgs. 81/2008) and labour obligations sit with us — not with you. You are the client, not the employer.
Official Italian VAT invoice included
You receive a regular Italian fiscal invoice (fattura). Useful if you're offsetting renovation costs against rental income or property sale proceeds.
Common questions
What people ask before getting started.
We prefer vacant properties for finishing work — it's faster, cleaner, and causes less disruption. For smaller cosmetic jobs we can discuss a phased approach. Tell us your situation when you request the quote.
We quote all labour and standard materials as a single lump sum. If we discover something genuinely unexpected after opening a wall — rare for finishing work — we stop and call you before spending a euro more. You always decide before we proceed.
No — and we're upfront about it. Electrical, plumbing, and heating installations require a licensed Responsabile Tecnico under Italian law (DM 37/2008). We don't offer these services. If your project needs this kind of work, we can refer you to a vetted local specialist.
It depends on the season. On average, from quote confirmation to start date is 2–4 weeks. For urgent jobs (e.g. between tenants) we look for tighter slots — ask when you write.
Yes — Bologna city and province. For addresses outside the province we can still take a look: write to us and we’ll tell you if it’s in our scope, no commitment needed.
