A new villa, built to your standard, with the cost known before you commit
Buying a finished house means accepting another owner's decisions. Building your own means shaping every line of it, from the orientation of the living space to the depth of the pool. On the Costa del Sol, where prime plots remain scarce and well conceived homes hold their value, building is increasingly the more deliberate use of capital.
What stops most people is not the design. It is the uncertainty: a moving budget, an unfamiliar permit process, and a construction site managed from abroad.
We remove that uncertainty. ST Marbella Homes coordinates the plot study, the design team and the full investment plan, so the figure you commit to is the figure the project delivers.
How We Work
One partner, from land to keys
Plot and feasibility
We study the zoning that governs the land and establish what can truly be built on it. The permitted volume is often different from what a plot first suggests, and that answer shapes everything that follows.
Design and team
Architect, technical architect and engineering are appointed and coordinated as one team, around your brief and the realities of the site.
Permits and licensing
The municipal licence and technical studies are handled end to end, with the process structured to keep timelines and charges under control.
Construction and supervision
The contractor is selected on merit, not convenience, and the works are supervised against the specification, the budget and the programme.
Delivery
The home is handed over finished, insured under the mandatory decennial cover, and ready to live in or to let.
The Investment
The full cost, known before you commit
The price per square metre is the largest line in a villa budget, but it is not the whole of it. Professional fees, the building permit, insurance, technical studies, taxes and a sensible contingency all sit on top, and overlooked they can add close to a third to the build. We map every line at the outset and give you the worst case before any capital is committed.
| Construction | Base, per m² |
|---|---|
| Architect & surveyor | 7–10% |
| Building permit | 4–6% |
| Decennial insurance | 0.4–1.5% |
| Technical studies | 0.1–1.0% |
| Taxes (VAT) | 10% / 21% |
| Contingency | ~5% |
