Building Surveys on the Costa del Sol
Technical Building Surveys for Confident Property Decisions
ArquiStruct provides independent building surveys and technical property assessments for buyers, homeowners and investors across the Costa del Sol.
We document construction quality, identify visible defects, evaluate maintenance needs, and provide objective reports so you can make informed decisions before buying, renovating, or negotiating.
Our surveys follow recognised technical standards and are delivered in clear, structured reports with photos, explanations, and practical recommendations.

Who Building Surveys Are Ideal For
Independent building surveys are highly valuable for:
-
International buyers unfamiliar with Spanish construction standards
-
Clients purchasing resale apartments, villas or townhouses
-
Buyers who cannot be present during due diligence
-
Investors assessing renovation potential or rental ROI
-
Homeowners planning extensions or upgrades
-
Clients requiring objective technical documentation
In markets like the Costa del Sol — where moisture, waterproofing and material wear are common — a survey ensures that buyers understand both current condition and future maintenance needs.

What a Building Survey Covers
Why a Professional Building Survey Matters Before Buying
Many Costa del Sol properties — both new-build and resale — present hidden defects, moisture issues, structural concerns or installation risks that are not disclosed during viewings.
A professional survey helps you:
-
Detect visible construction defects early
-
Understand technical risks and maintenance requirements
-
Estimate future repair or renovation costs
-
Strengthen negotiation position before purchase
-
Avoid unexpected expenses after handover
Whether you’re buying an apartment, villa, townhouse or commercial unit, an independent survey protects your investment and provides clarity before committing financially.
Most issues detected during a building survey are not visible during normal viewings, because buyers are not allowed to test systems, access external areas, or evaluate technical conditions.
A building survey examines the property from a technical perspective, including:
-
Structural elements and surface integrity (visual, non-invasive)
-
Moisture, ventilation and waterproofing risks
-
Electrical and plumbing installations
-
Window, door and sealing performance
-
Exterior façades, terraces and roofing
-
HVAC and air-conditioning operation
-
Finishes, workmanship and deviation from plans
-
Drainage and damp-prone areas
This level of detail gives buyers a realistic picture of the property’s condition before they commit financially.
We carry out independent building surveys across the Costa del Sol, including Marbella, Estepona, Mijas, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Torremolinos and Málaga.
