Before you hire

  • Check the company holds an IMPIC certificate or licence (alvará) that covers the value of the works. You can look it up on the IMPIC website.
  • Ask for a written quote with labour and materials listed separately, and the expected timeline.
  • Check their civil liability insurance and workers' accident insurance.
  • Tell your building's condominium administration before work starts. Works in shared areas need approval.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need council permission to renovate inside?

Interior works that don't touch the structure, façade or roof are usually exempt from municipal licensing. Listed buildings and protected areas have their own rules. If in doubt, check with the Câmara Municipal before you start.

When can renovation work happen in a residential building?

Portugal's General Noise Regulation (Regulamento Geral do Ruído) only allows works inside residential buildings on working days between 8am and 8pm, with a notice posted showing how long they will last. Check your condominium's rules too.

Can I choose and buy the materials myself?

Yes. In your request you say who buys the materials. In the quotes, anything you buy yourself appears in a separate section, so you know exactly what you pay through the platform and what you buy directly.
