Arkavis - Build your home in Spain

We help expats build their homes in Spain without all the hassle, the waste of money, and the stress.

Build your custom villa using our range of services that cover EVERYTHING - from choosing the proper land and obtaining the building permits to the maintenance of the pool.

We keep a high standard of customer service, personalization, and transparency. Our boutique design-build firm can only serve 4 more customers this year.

Arkavis is different.

Here’s why

We are the only Spanish company live streaming the entire construction of your home. And we don’t stop here.

01. One stop service

Building a house abroad can be stressful – that’s why we handle EVERY aspect of the execution – from completing the paperwork through the final build-out. Our range of pre-construction services combined with our general contracting and maintenance services remove the frustrations and uncertainty that usually come with building a house from scratch.

02. Radical transparency

Building your own Arkavis custom home has no uncertainty or unpleasant surprises. Our digital platform gives you access to 24/7 live streaming from the construction site, full access to project status updates, budget updates, and a direct communication channel with the project manager, the architect, or the team of builders and landscapers. Transparency is our favorite tool, and we use it to the fullest.

03. Tailored to expats

Our tailored approach to internationals entails speaking English fluently and understanding the logistical hurdles of not being in the country during construction. Our custom solutions for your peace of mind include connecting you with the right local lawyers and architects or completing all the logistical work – including filling out the paperwork required to purchase land or obtain local permits from the local authorities.

Discovery phase

A custom home reflects your interests and passions. The discovery phase involves getting to know you, what your dream home looks like, and its primary purpose. We get to know your taste, expectations, and desires. You also get advised on the needed services, the budget, and the timeline.

Planning phase

After the discovery phase is complete and the overall vision is clear, we outline the project in minor detail. We determine the project scope, budget, and timeline. You can choose how much time you wish to invest in the whole process.

Building phase

Whether you’re looking for a modern villa or a rustic Masias, our team of interior designers and architects will work with you to translate your vision into reality. Our builders execute that plan to create a look that exceeds your expectations and matches your taste.

What our customers say

Contratamos a ARKAVIS para la reforma de una casa por recomendacion del arquitecto. En general siempre hemos sido muy escepticos con las reformas porque suelen surgir imprevistos y algun que otro problema. Sin embargo con ARKAVIS no ha sido en absoluto asi. El personal es muy profesional, de un trato muy correcto y todo el equipo ha velado diariamente por el correcto avance de la obra. Han cumplido los plazos y el presupuesto. Y los acabados han sido impecables. Estamos muy satisfechos con el resultado y sin duda volveremos a trabajar con ellos.

I would like to give a review on your company. We have known each other since 2014 when your company was involved in the construction of our beautiful house in Sa Riera. Living in the U.K and building abroad could be problematic but I can honestly say Valentin and his brother Virgil are so passionate about perfection together with this and their helpful attitude they made the process easy. They have continued to assist with general maintenance and improvements to our house. The quality and standard of their work is superb. We are very fortunate to have met as the company qualities trust, passion and loyalty. We wouldn’t hesitate in working together again nor recommending.

Valentin has supported us throughout the construction of our superb new home in the Costa Brava. His attention to detail and quality are a credit to his dedication and trusted team. He has continued to provide advice and maintenance services at short notice. I highly recommend Valentin and his team
