House extensions on the eastern Costa del Sol

From covered terraces to full extra rooms — designed for the climate, built to regulation, and priced clearly before we start.

House extensions and new build works

Need more space? An extra bedroom for visiting family, a bigger kitchen, a covered terrace for year-round outdoor living — an extension is often far better value than moving. We build extensions across the Axarquia, handling everything from foundations to the final coat of paint.

  • Single-storey extensions and annexes
  • Covered terraces, porches and pergolas
  • Garage and storeroom conversions into living space
  • Outdoor kitchens and barbecue areas
  • Pool houses and casitas
  • Roof terraces and solariums

Licences and paperwork

Building work in Spain needs the right licence — a licencia de obra menor for smaller projects or obra mayor with an architect's project for structural extensions. We work alongside local architects and the town halls in Vélez-Málaga, Torrox and Nerja, and we'll tell you honestly at the quote stage what permissions your project needs and what they typically cost. No surprises halfway through.

Built for the climate

An extension on the Costa del Sol has to handle fierce summer sun and driving winter rain. We build with proper insulation, damp-proofing and shading from the start, so your new space is usable in August and in January alike.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Spain?

Almost always, yes. Smaller works may fall under a licencia de obra menor, but anything structural or that increases built area needs an obra mayor with an architect's project. We guide you through what your town hall requires and work with local architects.

How much does an extension cost per square metre?

As a guide, straightforward single-storey extensions in the Axarquia typically run from €1,000–€1,600 per square metre including finishes, plus architect and licence fees. Covered terraces and porches cost significantly less.

Can you convert my garage or storeroom into a bedroom?

Usually yes, and it's one of the most cost-effective ways to gain space. We handle insulation, damp-proofing, ventilation, electrics and finishes, and advise on the legalisation paperwork.

How long does an extension take?

A covered terrace or porch: 1–3 weeks. A single room extension: 6–10 weeks including drying times. We give you a written schedule with the quote.
