Renovation managed remotely for Portuguese emigrants

For Portuguese abroad

Your House in Portugal. Renovated.
You Don't Need to Be There.

We manage renovations remotely for Portuguese emigrants in the UK, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg and beyond. Weekly photos, video calls, communication in English or Portuguese. You approve the quote — we handle everything else.

We understand your situation

You're in London. Your house in Gaia needs a new bathroom. It's been five years since you've had the time to deal with it.

This is one of the most common situations we deal with. Portuguese emigrants who own a property in Porto, Gaia, Espinho or the Aveiro district — a flat they left behind, a family home they want to renovate for holidays, a house they plan to return to one day.

The problem is always the same: finding someone reliable to manage the project without being present. Someone who communicates clearly in English, sends photos instead of excuses and charges the price they quoted rather than the one they invent at the end.

That's what we do. We've developed a remote management process that gives emigrants the same level of control and transparency as if they were on site every day.

How it works, step by step

1

First contact — WhatsApp or email

Send us a message describing what you want done and where the property is. We respond within 24 hours and schedule a video call to discuss the project in more detail.

2

Video consultation

We speak by video call. You show us photos of the space, we discuss what you want and we agree on next steps. No commitment at this stage.

3

Site visit with your keyholder

We visit the property with whoever has access — a family member, a neighbour, a friend. We take measurements and photos. You don't need to be present.

4

Fixed quote and contract

We send a detailed quote within 48 hours. Once approved, we prepare a contract with the fixed price, agreed timeline and guarantee terms. Signed digitally if preferred.

5

Build with weekly updates

We start on the agreed date. Every week you receive photos showing progress — at each stage, from demolition through to finished work. You can always reach us directly by WhatsApp.

6

Video walk-through and handover

When the work is complete, we do a thorough video walk-through so you can see every detail before we hand the keys back. The 2-year guarantee document is delivered at this point.

Areas we cover

FAQ

Questions from emigrants.

No. The only thing you need is someone with access to the property on day one. From there, we manage everything. Many of our emigrant clients have never visited the property during the renovation — only arriving after handover.

Bank transfer or MB Way. A deposit is paid at contract signing, the remaining amount at handover. All payment terms are specified in the contract.

We send you photos and links to supplier catalogues. For key decisions (tiles, sanitaryware, kitchen units) we can do a shared-screen call so you can browse options with us. For smaller accessories, we make recommendations based on the brief and you approve via WhatsApp.

We contact you immediately and propose a solution before acting. No decisions are made without your approval. If something is covered by the 2-year guarantee after handover, we coordinate with your keyholder to resolve it.

Yes. All written communication, quotes and documents can be provided in English. We are comfortable communicating fully in English throughout the project.
