The centre of Barcelona no longer is what was used to be, Ciutat Vella and the Suburb in few years have transformed from old neighbourhoods and degraded with ancient buildings out of condition or even dilapidated, transforming in one of the zones more crowded of the city for the Tourism.

Yet, still they remain buildings that need an overall rehabilitation… or will end disappearing. And not only is a block of flats that disappears, but also an architectural heritage of Barcelona that goes losing.

Rehabilitation of a building

That’s why we love to take active part in projects like the one we present today: the integral rehabilitation of a building in the Petritxol street (Barcelona), a place that needed an urgent intervention to save it.

It began for the inner rehabilitation of the flats of that building and, later, initiated the reform of the building façade respecting and preserving the original aspect dated 1883. Everything in less than two months, finishing the work at the end of 2016.

It was not really a simple work due to the bad state in which the building was found. The rehabilitation had to strengthen a quite deteriorated façade full of big cracks caused by time settlements and with big leaks of water.

Engineering project and permissions management

As seen in the photos, the execution of works was not a simple matter, since it treated of a building with 5 plants and with thought accesses.

As usual, before beginning the task our team of engineering commissioned to do the project of rehabilitation to ask for the permissions of performance to the Department of Heritage of the City council of Barcelona, issue that also assumes our team at Instal.lem Valor.

Customer satisfaction

Once finished the work we can say that we’re satisfied with the result. There’s no signal of and old ruined building. We have achieved to transform a building into a one in perfect conditions to live with every convenience and with the security that, at least, will last some extra 100 years. And, as ever, we have received the congratulations of our customer, very satisfied with the final result.
