Decision Lab · Villa Project Estimator

Land is only the first number.

What does the whole project actually look like?

A few straightforward choices give you an indicative view of a Sotogrande villa project from construction to ready to live. It is not a quotation. It is a much better starting point than multiplying square metres by a build rate.

The plot
01 · The plot

Where are you thinking?

Keep it approximate. This is about the shape of the project, not making you pretend you already have a detailed construction budget.

Leave it blank if you already own the land or simply want the project cost.
02 · Specification

What level are you aiming for?

These are not labels of taste. They describe how far you want to go with materials, detailing, custom-made elements and the overall finish.

03 · The house

How much house?

Use the main above-ground built area as your anchor. Bedrooms and bathrooms simply help us understand how the house is likely to be laid out.

04 · Lower level & terraces

How finished will the lower level be?

Most lower levels are a mix. We only need to understand how much stays as garage, storage and house systems, and how much becomes properly finished living or leisure space.

What might be down there?

Optional. This does not change the estimate; it simply helps the result sound more like your house.

05 · The outside

How finished should the outside feel?

Pool, planting, irrigation, lighting, paved areas, walls, gates and the entrance all sit between “the house is built” and “the house feels done”.

Your indicative project

Here is the bit people usually miss.

The first number is the build. The last is what it can take to arrive at a house that is actually finished and usable. The gap matters.

01
Construction
The house itself: structure, finishes and the fixed elements that belong with it.
02
Project delivery
Construction plus the professional team, licences, service connections, insurance and the project taxes included in this estimate.
03
Ready to live
The project carried through the outside spaces, furnishing, final checks and a sensible allowance for the unexpected.
Your plot
The land value you entered.
Plot + project
Plot purchase taxes, legal fees and transaction costs are not included.
What I'd be thinking about

Worth a conversation?

If this is a real plot or project, send me the result and a few lines about what you are considering. I’ll tell you what I’d question, what looks sensible and where I’d start.

Indicative planning tool only. It is not a quotation or formal cost plan. Plot purchase taxes, legal fees and transaction costs are excluded.
