Construction Company Las Chapas

Bringing a building back to life

Our brief was given to us by an English family who were looking forward to moving to Las Chapas in Spain with their young children to enjoy the great outdoor lifestyle the Costa del Sol has to offer.

Whilst the house they purchased was relatively new – only built about 5 years before– it still had issues in terms of the original layout, design and features. The family wanted a contemporary styled home with modern open plan living spaces with a separate and welcoming area for guests.

They felt the main living accommodation which comprised of a traditional kitchen adjacent to separate dining and living rooms lacked any wow factor and did not work as a modern family living space. The free-flowing space we created appears more contemporary, spacious and provided more opportunities to create light and visual impact throughout.

Some of our favourite features are the beautifully designed kitchen with minimalist clean lines and a sense of place and harmony in the heart of the home, which flows effortlessly into the main living space with a stunning contemporary fire place and views over the landscaped gardens and new pool.

The basement was another area with great potential but with significant challenges to overcome. It had considerable damp following a major water mains leak, which needed to be repaired and future-proofed before the family would consider the purchase.

The basement was also dark with little natural light due to the poor layout and felt more of an afterthought in style and design terms. The family wanted to maximise the light and potential of the expansive space with a second family lounge / media room and as well as to create a distinctive guest suite with 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms to entertain family and friends without disrupting their own day to day living.

The first job was to damp proof the whole area to guarantee there would be no further problems in the future. This was achieved by digging up the floors and removing all the internal walls, floors, electrics and plumbing. We then melted 2 layers of waterproofing felt which covered all the floors and walls up to the ceiling; this is called internal tanking.

Next we rebuilt the walls to create 2 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a bright light and modern open plan living area with a kitchen and laundry space. We also opened the staircase from the main living area above to make it a free-flowing part of the home.

Outside we relocated and replaced the original pool with a larger and more contemporary white tiled swimming pool. We landscaped the entire area and added modern light ceramic tiles around the pool and created a new spacious side terrace to relax and enjoy al fresco dining.

There are not enough superlatives to describe how delighted I have been from start to finish in the work carried out by Promas and in all my dealings with them. They are in a league of their own as far as professionalism and integrity is concerned. Their standards are of the very highest and their work is exceptional. Andy leads by example and has treated our project as if it were on his own home. We have had many challenges which have been the legacy of previous inferior workmen. But Andy’s team have displayed huge commitment, resourcefulness, initiative and skill. They have turned a disaster zone into an outdoor leisure place of functionality and beauty. And all in record time and with complete attention to details and workmanship. I cannot recommend this company highly enough and would happily answer any questions if you need further clarification on any aspect of their work. They could not be beaten but don’t tell everyone as I won’t be using anyone else for future work so need them to have time to fit me in!

As an investor in real estate I had chosen Promas as the main contractor for a big renovation project of a Villa in Elviria and I am very happy to have made that decision. Andy and his team are really professionals. You can clearly see that Andy is fully involved in the project, has loads of experience and passing by almost every day to make sure all is going according to plan. Aside that, which I think within construction is unique, he never told me no or that’s not possible or no we can’t change the plans. Instead each time I requested a change of plans we easily found solutions to make it happen. So Promas thinks in your benefit, not in theirs. Finally and probably most important is that Promas finish the project completely, instead of running to the next project and leaving with some loose ends. So if you are looking for a construction company I can assure you that you won’t regret choosing for Promas. Thanks again Andy and the team!

So impressed with the service and quality of workmanship from Andy and his team at Promas. I got various quotes for the construction work at my villa near Marbella but by far away Andy was the most professional. Very pleased with the result of the work and I would happily recommend them to anyone on the coast.

Promas are a great building company. They are honest hardworking people and do an excellent job on all the homes I've seen, and on time and on budget. They also do fantastic interior designs and 3d models. Highly recommended!

We had the pleasure of using Promas Construction to totally remodel our 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom apartment in Reserva Alcuzcuz. We found Andy Promas and his team to be excellent and responsive. We set them a tight timetable for the work it was vitally important to us that they delivered, both on time and on budget. They passed this fundamental test with flying colours We were always kept informed of progress via a weekly video which was very reassuring. Andy really cares about his clients and his reputation. He deserves to be highly respected amongst his peers! The end result is excellent and much envied by friends and neighbours.

Promas building provided an absolutely outstanding service from beginning to end. The communication was exceptional throughout the project and they were responsive to changes in the planning and execution of the work. All design, building, electrical, plumbing and tiling work was done on time and to a high standard and I am delighted with the results. Most importantly, they seem to have a genuine passion for what they do and go to quite extraordinary lengths to ensure they exceed the clients expectations. I could not recommend them highly enough.

I have used Promas to do two large remodelling projects. Both time I have found the service professional and the end result is always of a very high standard. Andy is always quick to respond and I would not hesitate in recommending Promas for any building project big or small.

How can we help?
