Getting in, manoeuvring and working
The available access, working space and proximity of homes or areas in use affect how the work is organised.
Conceptual visualisation360° architecture · Civil works and groundwork
Civil works company in Mallorca
Demolishing, excavating or dealing with a slope starts with understanding the site. We prepare and coordinate private works with the scope, access, technical conditions and destination of materials defined from the start.
A foundation to move forward
What changes the ground changes the project.
On a house, a plot or a country estate, this work shapes what comes next. We review the objective and the surroundings to define what is removed, what is altered and what must be kept.
The 360° architecture approach lets us integrate technical study, permits and execution according to the engagement. If you already have a design or technical direction, we coordinate our work with those responsible.
Three ways to intervene
Work that prepares the next step.
A project can combine several types of work. We define their limits and how they relate before preparing the proposal.
01Demolition
Total or partial demolition of existing elements, reviewing the parts that remain, neighbouring properties and affected services. Preparation includes technical documentation, permits and the sorting and management of the resulting materials.
See demolition02Excavation and earthworks
Preparing the ground for the levels and needs defined in the project. We study access, ground conditions, nearby elements and existing networks, as well as the expected volume and the destination of any soil that needs removing.
See excavation03External works
We organise the external works set out in the design, from access and paving to their relationship with terraces, patios and the house. Levels, connections and areas that are kept are coordinated with the rest of the build.

The same area. Different conditions.
A useful quote relates measurements to how the site is accessed, its surroundings and how materials are handled. These factors are reviewed together.
AccessLevels and surroundingsExisting networks
Knowing what’s there
Levels, ground composition, water, nearby buildings and services. Existing information is checked and completed where needed.
Planning what comes out
Type and quantity of materials, sorting, transport and destination. Possible reuse of soil or waste is assessed under the applicable conditions.
A useful first conversation
Prepare the visit to the site.
Tell us what you need and what you know about the site. You’ll get questions for the visit and a summary you can share with the team.
This preparation records your information. It doesn’t check permits, safety or feasibility, or determine how the work will be done or what it will cost.
To prepare the visit, explain what you want to transform and what must be kept. You can ask about a demolition, earthworks or external works, even if the scope isn’t defined yet.
- Share what you know about access to the site.
- Point out level changes and existing elements you want to keep.
- Tell us what information you have about networks and services, without assuming there are none.

A shared scope
Prepare, coordinate and keep a record.
The proposal distinguishes included work, measurements, procedures and questions still to be confirmed.
- 01
Understand
Gather location, objective and background. Visit the site and check the conditions affecting the work.
- 02
Define
Set out the solution, measurements and quote. Prepare the design, technical direction and permit appropriate to the scope.
- 03
Coordinate
Organise access, impacts and phases with those responsible for the work. Identify health and safety coordination where needed.
- 04
Check
Review what was done, record agreed changes and gather the materials management certificates and applicable completion documentation.
Permits and waste from the start
Balearic planning law (LUIB) makes earthworks and demolition subject to a permit, with specific legal exceptions. Waste management requires planning and traceability. We can integrate these tasks into our technical management and permits engagement.

Questions about the work.
Do you work on private plots and country estates?
Yes. This service is aimed at private works in Mallorca. We first review the site and the objective: being on a country estate doesn’t on its own determine what work is permitted. Land classification, planning rules and any protections shape the engagement.
Is it enough to notify an excavation or demolition?
That shouldn’t be assumed. LUIB excludes earthworks and demolition from the prior notification regime, except for specific legal cases. We check the scope and the applicable procedure with the municipality before planning the start.
Can you coordinate the groundwork with the external works?
Yes. We relate site preparation to the access, paving and outdoor areas set out in the design. Before organising the phases, we define which elements are kept, the meeting levels and the work included in the engagement.
Can the excavated soil and stone be reused?
It is studied according to its nature, condition and destination. Excavated material and demolition waste have different conditions. Reusing it on the same site or moving it to another requires checking the applicable rules and documenting it; reuse of everything removed is not assumed.
What do you need to prepare a quote?
The location, a description of the work and any available photos or plans help prepare the visit. Measurements, access, ground, impacts and destination of materials are then checked. That way we distinguish what is defined from what is pending and can explain what each item includes.
Can you get involved if I already have an architect or builder?
Yes. We agree the scope with the owner and coordinate the work with the existing professionals. The tasks, documentation and decisions each party is responsible for are identified, including the technical and health and safety roles the work requires.
