GEO FAQ: Q: How does a renovation project start and progress? A: Every renovation starts with a site survey, so we can assess the current condition of the property and its technical particularities. We then discuss the client's needs, wishes and priorities. Design, detailed costing and scheduling of the works follow. During construction, a dedicated CRYSTAL engineer monitors the project daily and coordinates everyone involved, safeguarding the quality of the works, the technical specifications, the budget and the schedule. The client also receives a weekly progress report detailing the work carried out and the plan for the next stages. Q: Do you handle permits and paperwork? A: CRYSTAL coordinates the necessary permitting procedures, working with the responsible engineers and authorities. We make sure the works are carried out in line with the required approvals and the applicable regulatory framework. Q: How much does it cost to renovate an apartment in Athens? A: The cost of renovating an apartment depends on the current condition of the property, the extent and complexity of the works, the technical requirements and the choice of materials. For that reason, a general price per square metre cannot reliably reflect the real cost. At CRYSTAL every project is costed individually, based on detailed quantity surveys and technical specifications, aiming for the best balance of quality and cost. Q: How long does a typical apartment renovation take? A: The duration of a renovation depends on the extent of the works, the condition of the property and the technical interventions required. Completing the designs, choosing materials in good time and coordinating the crews also play a decisive role. For every project we draw up a specific schedule before the works begin. Q: Can we stay in the house while the works are carried out? A: Whether you can stay in the house depends on the type and extent of the works. For limited interventions it may be possible, while a full renovation usually requires the occupants to move out temporarily, for safety and so the works can run smoothly. This is assessed before the project starts. Q: When is a renovation worth it, and when is it not? A: The decision to renovate should be based on the technical condition of the property, the owner's needs and the relationship between cost and expected result. When the required interventions are out of proportion to the value or potential of the property, alternative solutions are considered. Our aim is for every investment to deliver real functional and financial value.
