The full register of work

The packages that carry the building. If your job has a frame, a foundation or a programme, it starts in this group.

• C-01 General contracting One contractor holds the whole job — every trade, the programme, the material chain and the risk — under one contract.
• C-02 New build villas New villa construction from plot assessment through approvals to handover.
• C-03 Hotel construction and refurbishment Closed-season refurbishment and new hotel construction, programmed backwards from your opening date.
• C-04 Turnkey construction Design, approvals, construction and fit-out delivered as one package to a finished building.
• C-05 Cave house (yposkafo) construction New cave-house excavation and vaulting, engineered for the material rather than styled after it.
• C-06 Cave house renovation and restoration Yposkafo restoration: geometry, moisture and the damage done by earlier well-meaning work.
• C-07 Full property renovation Full renovation of existing property, including the junction between original stone and later additions.
• C-08 Structural works and concrete Frames, slabs, beams and structural repair specified for coastal exposure and seismic design.
• C-09 Demolition and strip-out Demolition and strip-out including hand demolition where no machine can reach.
• C-10 Excavation and earthworks Excavation, earthworks and spoil removal in layered volcanic ground.
• C-11 Retaining walls and terracing Retaining wall construction and repair, including traditional dry stone terracing.
• C-12 Extensions Extensions, including the structural junction between new work and existing buildings.
• C-13 Seismic retrofitting and strengthening Structural strengthening of stone and concrete buildings, following an engineer's assessment.
• C-14 Project management Programme, procurement, cost control and supervision — with or without us holding the build.

Problems this island generates that mainland practice does not have a standard answer for. This is the group that most often decides whether a project succeeds.

• T-01 Caldera-edge construction and rock stabilisation Construction and rock stabilisation on the caldera face, where geology governs the design.
• T-02 Yposkafo excavation and vault engineering Cutting and vaulting into welded tuff, where profile, span and cover are a single structural equation.
• T-03 Salt-air corrosion protection Corrosion protection and concrete repair for a marine-exposure environment.
• T-04 Foundations in volcanic ground Foundation design decided by what the trial pit finds, not by what the neighbour did.
• T-05 Traditional settlement compliance Designing and approving work in designated settlements, where external appearance is controlled.
• T-06 Cave house damp control Damp control in cave houses: breathable finishes, ventilation, and water routing above the vault.
• T-07 Seismic design and construction Seismic design for new construction, and the junction between new work and old buildings.

Each of these is a package a main contractor can hold rather than you appointing it separately. Any of them can also be taken as a standalone job.

• F-14 Landscaping and hardscaping Dry planting, wind and salt tolerance, terracing and hard landscaping in volcanic ground.
• F-15 Flooring Interior and terrace flooring where build-up depth, moisture from below and movement govern the choice.
• F-16 Tiling Tiling for terraces and wet rooms, detailed so movement never reaches the waterproofing.

• F-21 Marble and granite Marble and granite surfaces, thresholds and traditional details, including access-constrained delivery.
• F-22 Kitchen fitting Made-to-measure kitchens for vaulted and irregular rooms, with the supply chain planned around the ferry.
• F-23 Bathroom fitting Bathroom renovation solved around drainage falls, extract ventilation and waterproofing.
• F-24 Drainage and septic systems Drainage, cesspits and septic systems, including capacity for peak seasonal occupancy.
• F-25 Water cisterns (sterna) Cistern construction, restoration and re-plastering, plus catchment and first-flush arrangements.

• F-27 Security and CCTV CCTV, alarms and monitoring for empty properties, with the data-protection side handled properly.
• F-28 Scaffolding and access Scaffolding and access on stepped, sloping and cliff-edge sites, including wind-rated design.

Approvals are the longest stage on most Santorini projects. These run before and alongside construction, never after the design is frozen.

• P-09 Legalisation of unauthorised structures Resolving αυθαίρετα: what blocks a permit or a sale, and what can realistically be regularised.
• P-10 Short-term rental compliance What a property physically needs before it is let short-term, beyond the registration itself.
• P-11 Tourist accommodation licensing support Licensing support from the building side: keeping the as-built consistent with the licence.
