Have a look at work done by local builders before deciding on the one to build your Spanish dream home on the Costa del Azahar.

Whether they speak your language or not, don't forget that Spanish builders are familiar with local Costa del Azahar building regulations and with the correct materials to use.

To avoid nasty surprises for "extras" make sure you get a written estimate showing everything to be included in the building project.

Building licenses are need for all building of houses, extensions, alterations etc on the Costa del Azahar - even if you are doing the work yourself.

DON'T BE CONNED INTO PARTING WITH YOUR MONEY UP FRONT.

It's a good idea to be guided by recommendations or comments from clients of local tradesmen.
