  • Gary Daula
    Francesco and his team did an incredible job with the restoration of our home outside of Palermo. Francesco was professional, honest, informed and in constant communication with us throughout the project. I would highly recommend using him and his team.

  • Julian Eynon
    My wife and I recently completed the renovation of our townhouse in the village of Gratteri, located in the Madonie park in Sicily. From the very beginning, we had the pleasure of working with Francesco Conigliaro, who served as the lead engineer on our project—and we couldn't be happier with the results... [READ MORE]

  • Wolfgang Suoch
    A 35-year-old Austrian, with only a bit of Italian knowledge, building a house in Sicily—sounds crazy, right? At least this is what many people told me throughout the whole process, over and over, but what I never expected is that during this entire process I would find true friends... [READ MORE]

We Can Join the Project Before Purchase

Still Looking for a Property?

The best time to identify a problem is before purchasing the property.

If you have found a property of interest, we can conduct a preliminary technical assessment to help you understand:

  • general condition;
  • main issues;
  • available technical documentation;
  • renovation potential;
  • feasibility of desired modifications;
  • potentially necessary work;
  • indicative scope of future investment.

We do not only assess the house as it exists today.

We help you understand what the house could become tomorrow.

Challenges of a Project Managed from Abroad

DISTANCE

You cannot visit the construction site continuously.

Our solution: local presence, photographs, videos, online meetings, and updates during key project phases.

LANGUAGE

Technicians, administrations, suppliers, and craftsmen work primarily in Italian.

Our solution: you can communicate directly with us in English while we manage the necessary activities locally.

BUREAUCRACY

Italian building procedures can be difficult to understand for those from another country.

Our solution: we manage the technical aspects and coordinate the necessary procedures with the professionals and authorities involved.

BUDGET

It is difficult to understand the true cost of a property by looking only at the purchase price.

Our solution: we analyze the project and the necessary work before construction begins.

COORDINATION

A renovation can involve engineers, architects, technicians, contractors, installers, and suppliers.

Our solution: Conigliaro Building becomes the technical and operational point of contact for the project.
