Our services
Independent construction project management in the Algarve, whichever way you build.
We work for you, not for a builder. Whether you are building a new villa, renovating an older property or rescuing a project that has stalled, Orla Algarve manages it from planning to handover — in English and Portuguese, on site in the Algarve, while you get on with your life wherever you live.
Choose how you build
Three ways to build, one independent team managing it. Not sure which suits your plot and budget? That is often the first conversation we have.
| Build method | Typical timeline | Best for | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional build | 18–30 months from planning approval, depending on size and complexity | Any design, any plot; clients who want a fully bespoke villa with their own architect | Traditional build → |
| Light steel frame | Frame up in weeks; overall timeline depends on the design | Clients who want a faster frame and strong thermal performance | Light steel frame → |
| Modular build | Around 12 months once planning is in place | Clients who want a fixed price and a shorter build, with much of the work done off site | Modular build → |
