Renovation in Son Vida
Son Vida is large detached villas on generous plots, and most of them are not being renovated for the first time. The usual projects are full villa renovations, high specification refits, new installations across a spread plan, glazing and insulation brought to one standard, terraces, pool surroundings and outdoor areas.

Renovating a villa in Son Vida
A house on its third refit contains three generations of decisions, and almost none of them were written down. Pipework rerouted around a kitchen that has since moved, circuits added for a use nobody remembers, a wall taken out and supported in a way that worked with no record of how. Every one of those is fine until somebody opens the ceiling above it.
That is why an inspection here is worth more than on an untouched property. On a house nobody has altered, an experienced company can predict most of what it will find. On one altered repeatedly, the honest response is investigation before the scope is fixed rather than variations afterwards.
Earlier work also leaves inconsistency: different eras of insulation, glazing and cooling in different parts of one house, so comfort varies room to room for reasons that are invisible. Owners describe that as the house being cold at one end, and it is normally the seam between two refits.
Common renovation issues in Son Vida villas
What earlier refits tend to leave behind in a house of this size:
Undocumented installations
Pipe and cable runs that go where no drawing suggests, and circuits with no record of what feeds what.
Structural changes without a record
Walls removed in earlier work and supported in a way that held, with nothing written down about how.
Mixed glazing and insulation
Two or three eras of windows on one house, and insulation in some parts of the envelope and not others.
Terraces and pool surroundings
Waterproofing that has been patched more than replaced, and garden services buried under work done since.
Cooling that grew rather than was designed
Systems of different ages extended one room at a time, never planned together.

How much does renovation cost in Son Vida?
Size and specification drive the number here more than anywhere else on the island. A full renovation of a large villa to a high standard is a long programme with many trades, and the finishes chosen can move the total as much as the building work does.
What previous refits left behind is the other driver. Investigating before the scope is fixed costs very little and converts a large part of the unknown into scope, which is the only thing that makes competing quotes comparable.

Is it worth renovating an older villa in Son Vida?
Almost always. The plots, the position and the size of these houses are not available new, and what dates them is installations, glazing and finishes from an earlier refit. A full renovation brings the whole house to one standard instead of the patchwork most of them have now.
Why is a previously renovated villa in Son Vida harder to price?
Because what is behind the finishes was decided by somebody who is no longer available to ask. An untouched house of a known age is predictable; one altered three times is not, and the difference shows up as variations unless it is investigated first.
Should the house be opened up before agreeing a price?
On a villa like this, yes. A small number of openings in the right places tells a company what it is actually pricing, and turns guesswork about earlier work into a scope that several companies can quote against.
Why is one end of the villa always colder than the other?
Usually because the envelope was improved in stages and the stages stopped somewhere. Different glazing, different insulation or a cooling system extended rather than redesigned all produce exactly that, and it is worth finding the seam before adding more equipment.
How long does a full villa renovation in Son Vida take?
Several months for a house of this size, longer at a high specification with many trades and long lead times on finishes. A turnkey company should give a programme once the scope is fixed, and owners who are abroad usually want exactly that.
