FAQ
Questions clients ask
Straight answers about supervision, permits, inspections and how we work. If your question is not here, send it — we answer in Croatian or English.
Is stručni nadzor (professional construction supervision) required in Croatia?
Once construction starts, the question is no longer what gets built but how well. We act as your representative on site — checking quality and materials, controlling cost and schedule, and verifying that what the contractor invoices matches what has actually been done. Croatian law requires professional construction supervision (stručni nadzor) by a licensed engineer; we provide it, and go beyond the legal minimum.
What does a pre-purchase property inspection include?
Buying — especially from abroad — means trusting photos, an agent and a seller, all of whom want the deal to close. We don't. We inspect the building itself: structure, roof, façade, moisture and installations — and the things that quietly turn into big bills — then give you a realistic estimate of what it will cost to put right.
What do you deliver during design and permitting?
We turn an idea into a complete, permittable, build-ready project — drawings, structure, installations and budget worked out together, to the standard the authorities and your contractor both need. New coastal homes, renovations of old stone houses, apartment conversions, hospitality fit-outs.
What is construction diagnostics?
When something is wrong — damp, cracks, a leak you can't trace, a failing façade — guessing is expensive. We diagnose the actual cause using non-destructive methods, so you fix the cause, not the symptom. On the coast, salt and sea air do specific damage to stone and concrete; we know what to look for.
Which areas do you work in?
Send the address and a few photos and we will tell you what we can see — and what a closer look will cost. We work across Split, Trogir, Kaštela, Čiovo, Šolta, Brač and the wider Split-Dalmatia region.
How long does a building permit (građevinska dozvola) take around Trogir?
It depends on the plot, the municipality and how complete the documentation is, so we do not publish a range. After the first meeting — once we have seen the site and the paperwork — we give you a realistic timeline for your project and tell you what could delay it.
What does it cost and how do I get a quote?
Send us the address and a few photos, and we will tell you what we can see — and what a closer look will cost.
Whose side are you on?
We are on your side of the table — not the contractor's, not the seller's.
