Renovation in Palma
Almost every constraint on a Palma renovation arrives from outside the property. The street is narrow, the neighbours are attached, the entrance is shared, and the facade is often the one part nobody may alter. Describe the property and we pass the request to renovation and building companies that work inside the city.
The street is part of the job
In the old centre there is frequently nowhere to put a skip, nowhere for a lorry to wait and a loading window somebody else decides. Waste comes out in bags through a shared entrance and materials go in the same way. Companies that work here price that time because it is real; companies that do not work here often forget it, which is one reason two quotes for the same flat can differ so widely.
Inside, the stock is old and deep. Tall ceilings, hydraulic tile floors, a light well or a patio doing the work that windows do elsewhere, and party walls shared with buildings that were altered long before anybody wrote it down. What is carrying the floor above is rarely obvious and is worth establishing before a layout is drawn rather than after.
The facade is usually the fixed point. In much of the centre what faces the street is treated differently from what sits behind it, and a company quoting the job will say what that means for your building before it can price the work.
What a Palma renovation usually has to deal with
- Access through a shared entrance, and a lift never sized for it
- Nowhere on the street to stand a skip or park a lorry
- Hours the building or the neighbours allow work to happen
- The community of owners, for anything beyond your own front door
- Party walls shared with buildings altered decades ago
- Light wells and patios that supply most of the daylight
- Hydraulic tile floors worth lifting carefully rather than quickly
- Drainage and risers that are fixed and shared
- A street facade that is usually not yours to change
- Roof terraces, and the waterproofing under them

How is waste removed with no room for a skip?
In bags, by hand, through whatever entrance the building has, and usually to a vehicle parked briefly in an agreed window. It is slow and it belongs in the quote. A price that does not mention it has probably not thought about it.
Can the street facade be changed?
In much of the centre it is treated differently from the inside of the building, so the answer is rarely a simple yes. Ask before the design work rather than after it, because the facade tends to set what is possible with windows and shutters.
How long do the community approvals take?
Longer than the building work usually needs to start, which is why they are raised first. A community meets on its own schedule and that schedule is not affected by your programme.
