Complete renovation in Cannes, one single point of contact from plans to keys

I design your project or take over your architect's, produce the construction drawings, set up the teams and run the site through to handover. Your project is managed in English.

Our work

Real projects, photographed on site

Bathrooms, period apartments, fine materials: a few projects carried out by our partner teams in and around Cannes.

Hidden craftsmanship

What you no longer see once the work is done

Waterproofing, reinforced floors, tiles levelled to the millimetre. Every hidden step is photographed and sent to you in the weekly report.

The method

Five steps, in this order

No contractor is asked for a quote until the construction drawings are approved. That is how budget and schedule are kept under control.

  1. 1

    Site visit and diagnosis

    A visit of the property, a survey of access and building rules, and a first estimate of the budget.

  2. 2

    Design, or taking over your architect's project

    For homeowners, layout plans and 3D views. For architects, I take over the approved design.

  3. 3

    Construction drawings

    Dimensioned drawings for each trade, detail sheets, bill of quantities, materials list and schedule.

  4. 4

    Setting up the teams

    Contractors for every trade under direct contract with you, supplies, equipment, skips and parking.

  5. 5

    Site management and handover

    Weekly site meeting, photo report, budget tracking, final inspection and snagging.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What work do you take on?

Complete renovations of apartments and villas: demolition, drywall, electrics, plumbing, joinery, flooring, painting, kitchens and bathrooms. The work is carried out by contractors for every trade, who sign directly with you.

How much does a full renovation cost in Cannes?

Allow roughly €1,100 to €1,900 per m² excluding VAT for a full renovation with no structural work, and more for a new layout or high-end materials. The site visit gives you a range tailored to your property.

Why pay for a site visit?

It lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes on site and ends with a written report and a first budget. Its price is deducted from the assignment if you then hire me.

Do I need to be there during the works?

No. Every week you receive a dated report with photos, progress by trade, decisions needed and any variance. Many of our clients live outside Cannes or abroad.

Do you work with architects?

Yes. An architect, interior architect or designer can hand me the execution of their project: I produce the construction drawings and run the site, while they keep their client and their design.

A renovation project in Cannes?

A 1 h 30 visit on site, a written report and a first budget. €180, deducted if you hire me for the project.
