Question 1

Do you work across the entire Maresme?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have documented projects in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Argentona, Premià, Mataró, Vilassar and other municipalities. Our headquarters are in Sant Cugat, but we dispatch technical and production teams to the region with agility.

Question 2

What is the difference between building on the Maresme and in Vallès Occidental?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is climatic. On the Maresme the critical demand is passive cooling and summer solar control, whereas in Vallès Occidental the main challenge is winter heating. The topography also changes, with much more presence of slope and complex plots on the Maresme.

Question 3

Are there special restrictions due to proximity to the sea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Coastal legislation establishes a maritime-terrestrial public domain protection easement that affects plots near the shoreline. These constraints condition heights, volumes and materials. Our experience with coastal projects includes managing these restrictions.

Question 4

What is the minimum plot size required on the Maresme?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the municipality and sector. In detached single-family residential it usually ranges between 600 and 1,500 m². The plot's urban-planning record defines the exact parameter.

Question 5

How long does a major works permit take on the Maresme?

Accepted Answer

Resolution typically takes between 6 and 14 weeks from a complete documentary submission, slightly longer than the Vallès Occidental average. Times can extend on plots with coastal or landscape impact.
