Construction and Building Law
Juan Carlos Santos, lawyer specialised in construction and building law in Marbella
01
Comprehensive legal advice for your construction projects
At our firm, we offer you professional and personalised legal advice in the field of construction. We possess a thorough understanding of the relevant legal framework and work alongside specialist collaborators from other disciplines to address the technical aspects of the building process. This enables us to accompany you and provide a comprehensive service throughout every stage of your property development project.
From the conception of the idea to final delivery, we are prepared to assist developers, owners, construction companies, architects, and engineers. Every project presents specific challenges, which is why we tailor our legal solutions to the particularities of each build, ensuring your interests are protected at all times.
02
Planning and feasibility: the start of a secure build
Our service begins at the planning stage, where we advise you on the legal and urban feasibility of the land, collaborating on preliminary studies and in the acquisition of the site. We review and manage all the necessary documentation and, with the help of our technical partners, guide you through obtaining the licences and permits required by local regulations in Marbella and the Costa del Sol.
If your project involves a purchase of land or preliminary documentation, we can also assist you through our property law service in Marbella, ensuring a safe acquisition with every guarantee.
And if you need a more in-depth analysis of urban planning, we support you from our urban planning law service, which is essential to avoid delays or issues with the authorities.
Finally, every project requires proper tax advice, for which we can also assist you through our tax law service.
03
Construction contracts: clarity, security and conflict prevention
Drafting and negotiating contracts is one of our fundamental pillars. We draw up clear and detailed agreements that regulate the relationships between developers, builders, architects, engineers, suppliers and subcontractors, anticipating contingencies and establishing effective conflict resolution mechanisms. Our experience enables us to detect and avoid abusive clauses or contractual risks that could compromise the viability of the project.
04
Legal support during the execution of the build
During the construction phase, we provide you with ongoing legal support, monitoring compliance with agreed deadlines and conditions, identifying and intervening in the event of any issue.
By working alongside our technical specialist partners, we can supervise the development and execution of the build, preventing and detecting any incident that may arise. We can advise you, among other things, on:
Compliance with and interpretation of contracts
Project execution
Work certifications
Claims management
Contract and/or project modifications
Disputes between parties
Our aim is to ensure the work progresses with legal certainty and compliance with the agreed conditions, offering quick and effective solutions.
05
Hidden defects and construction faults: effective defence after delivery
Una vez finalizada la construcción, te asistimos en la detección y reclamación de vicios ocultos o defectos constructivos. Defendemos tus derechos tanto en vía extrajudicial como ante los tribunales, si fuera necesario.
Nuestro conocimiento técnico y legal nos permite actuar con profesionalidad, precisión y firmeza, minimizando cualquier impacto tras la entrega de la obra.
Si el proceso requiere documentación complementaria ante notaría o registro, también podemos ayudarte desde nuestro servicio de derecho notarial e hipotecario, asegurando que todo esté correctamente inscrito y documentado.

Our technical and legal expertise allows us to act with precision and determination, minimising any impact after the completion of the work.
