Monumental renovation

Expert transformation of historic properties on the Costa Blanca. Modern comfort while preserving authentic character.

Monumental renovation

Specialist in exceptional properties

BouwDirect has over 25 years of experience restoring and renovating monumental buildings. What started with Frisian farmhouses and Groningen mansions, we now apply to characterful Spanish architecture on the Costa Blanca.

Every historic building is unique. We start each project with a thorough inspection of foundations, facades, roof structures and installations. This enables us to develop a renovation plan that safeguards both aesthetics and technical requirements.

Our most prestigious project is the transformation of a characterful castle in Coveta Fuma into the luxurious boutique hotel Castillo Coveta. This project perfectly showcases what BouwDirect stands for: respect for historic character, combined with modern luxury and comfort.

From superior suites with private kitchens to wellness facilities and a terrace with panoramic sea views. Every detail has been crafted with care and expertise.

Our approach

Combining traditional techniques with modern technology is our strength. We preserve your property's character while adding modern features such as energy ratings, heat pumps and sustainable insulation.

Original elements such as facades, window frames and ornaments are preserved or expertly restored. At the same time, we ensure your property meets modern standards without compromising its appearance.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about renovation

How long does a renovation take on average?
A renovation takes 4 to 12 months on average, depending on scope. A bathroom or kitchen is quicker than a full finca renovation. We always provide a realistic timeline.
Can we continue living in the property during renovation?
That depends on the scope. For smaller projects it's often possible. For major renovations we advise staying elsewhere temporarily. We're happy to help find a solution.
How do you handle hidden defects?
With older properties, hidden defects can occur. We always conduct a thorough inspection beforehand and include a margin in the budget. If unexpected issues arise, we consult you immediately.
What's the cost difference between renovation and new build?
Renovation is often 20-40% cheaper than new build, but it depends heavily on the property's condition. Sometimes a combination is most cost-effective. We advise you honestly on the best option.
Do you preserve the authentic character of the property?
Absolutely, that's our speciality. We combine authentic elements like natural stone, wooden beams and Spanish tiles with modern comfort. The result is a unique property with character and all contemporary amenities.
