Cascais sits where the Sintra hills meet the Atlantic, and that setting shapes almost every project we take on here. Salt air, wind-driven rain and old stone properties mean a job that looks simple on paper usually needs local know-how to last.
Built for the coast
Properties along the Marginal and around Guincho face constant salt spray and storms. We plan every job around that:
- Drainage first — rainwater is led away from foundations and walls instead of pooling against them, the most common cause of damp in older Cascais homes.
- Coastal-grade materials — corrosion-resistant fixings and breathable finishes that survive the sea air.
- Careful sequencing on quintas and villas with narrow access roads and protected trees.
Calçada portuguesa, laid by hand
Much of our work in the municipality is traditional Portuguese paving: driveways, courtyards and garden paths in local limestone and basalt. When we repair or extend existing calçada, we match the stone and pattern so the new section doesn't stand out.
From groundworks to garden
We handle the excavation and groundworks for renovations and extensions, drainage and sewage connections, and finish outdoor spaces with coastal-friendly landscaping. Because Cascais council applies stricter rules near the shoreline, we plan permits into the schedule from day one.
