Thinking about renovating, but unsure where to start?

Most renovation problems don’t happen during construction.
They happen when you start without clear priorities, scope, and budget ranges.

Renovating isn’t the problem.

Starting without clarity is.

What most people try to do

You start thinking about a renovation.

You talk to contractors.
You ask for quotes.
You look at references.

It feels like progress, but nothing is really clear yet.

Why this doesn’t work

Because you’re forced to make decisions without the full picture.

What’s missing:

what really matters in your case
which decisions have the biggest impact
what makes sense to do now and what doesn’t
how much is reasonable to invest and why

The consequences

This is where the stress begins:

budgets that keep changing
decisions made under pressure
fear of making costly mistakes
projects that take longer than expected
mental fatigue before the work even starts

A different way to approach it

A well-executed renovation doesn’t start with construction.
It starts with clear decisions.

Before doing anything, you need:

a clear overview of your real options
realistic cost ranges — not surprises
a plan that can be executed in phases
confidence in the decisions you’re making

That’s exactly what the first stage is designed to provide.

MAKING RENOVATION DECISIONS
WITHOUT CLARITY IS EXPENSIVE.

Before committing to design or construction, take the time to understand what makes sense in your case.

Renovation Feasibility & Budget Strategy

This is a focused first phase designed to help you make the right renovation decisions — before spending serious money.

We analyse your property, your goals and your constraints to define what is feasible, what it realistically costs, and what makes sense to prioritise.

This is not a design project or a construction commitment.
It’s a strategic decision-making phase led by a team with over 12 years of experience in design, architecture and construction.

After this phase, you decide how far you want to go.
You can continue with design and construction support — or stop here and still leave with clarity, priorities and a clear plan.

What our clients say:

“Working with Federico Varela from FARE Design was an inspiring experience. Federico didn’t just remodel my apartment—he reimagined it. Through his thoughtful redesign, he transformed the layout into a brighter, more open, and connected living space. What was once a compartmentalized apartment is now an integrated home where the living room flows seamlessly into the garden. His creative vision and smart use of space have made a real difference in how I live and feel in my home. I’m incredibly happy with the result and would recommend FARE Design without hesitation."

Amable Espina
Strategic Home Renovation
“I’m incredibly grateful for Federico’s help throughout the entire apartment search process. He supported me from the very beginning, helping me preselect apartments to view and always knowing exactly what to look for and where to focus. He accompanied me to the viewings, offering thoughtful insights that guided me toward making a great decision. Federico also attended the technical evaluation, providing valuable input, and went above and beyond by helping with the design of the spaces and the furniture setup. His support made the whole experience smoother, easier, and even enjoyable!”

Why this approach works

Renovation decisions sit at the intersection of design, cost and execution.

This approach comes from over 12 years of hands-on experience working across design, architecture and construction projects; including situations where poor early decisions led to delays, cost overruns and unnecessary stress.

I’ve worked with homeowners and investors who wanted to renovate without losing control of budgets, timelines or long-term value; particularly in complex urban properties where every decision has a financial impact.

Most professionals get involved after decisions have already been made.

This approach focuses on what happens before; helping you define priorities, understand real costs and avoid mistakes before committing to design or construction.
