About Obra Lisboa
Introduction
Obra Lisboa works in renovation, construction, architecture, engineering and interior design in Greater Lisbon. Services can be commissioned individually or coordinated within the same project.
Who we are
We work on homes and commercial spaces. The proposal starts with the existing property, the intended changes and the available information, to clarify the work and the conditions of the project.
Architecture, engineering, design and construction have distinct roles. The team and each participant's responsibilities should be identified according to the services commissioned.
Following your project from abroad
Our architects and engineers speak English. If you live outside Portugal, we share project updates by email or WhatsApp, according to your preference, with photographs, videos and written summaries. You can give approvals through the same channels.
Architectural, engineering and interior design project documents can be delivered digitally. If you are abroad at handover, your legally authorised representative can attend on your behalf.
Decisions about layout, building services, materials and finishes are coordinated with the property's characteristics and the client's priorities.
Before work starts, inclusions, exclusions, supplies, access and dependencies need to be clear. The quotation and schedule should reflect that scope.
What We Do
Each project is scoped to the property, the client and the work required.
Building construction
Construction and house building, coordinating designs, specialist disciplines and work stages. The site, access and applicable conditions are assessed to define the project.
Renovation and rehabilitation
Renovation of apartments, houses and commercial spaces, from individual rooms to wider interventions. The proposal identifies what will be retained, renewed or replaced.
Interior design
Interior layout, materials, lighting and finishes. The design scope distinguishes drawings and specifications from the supplies and construction work commissioned.
Engineering and architecture
Architectural and engineering design, with stages and deliverables defined for the project. Administrative procedures and additional studies are assessed case by case.
Project management
Work planning and coordination, interfaces between teams and a record of decisions. Scope changes should be assessed for their effect on cost, timing and the sequence of work.
How We Work
The process depends on the commissioned service and the property's condition. These stages organise the initial discussion, preparation and delivery; the specific scope is defined in the proposal.
1. Enquiry and initial assessment
We start with the location, property type and intended changes. Existing plans and photographs help identify questions and assess the need for a visit or survey.
2. Scope and technical preparation
The work, specialist disciplines and necessary design decisions are identified. Where applicable, architecture, engineering and design are coordinated before solutions, materials and deliverables are finalised.
3. Proposal and planning
The proposal should identify inclusions, exclusions, materials and conditions. Timing depends on scope, supplies, access, necessary approvals and conditions found at the property.
4. Work, progress and handover
Work is monitored according to the commissioned scope. Decisions and changes are communicated, including their effects on the schedule. At handover, the included work and the information to be supplied to the client are reviewed.

Work and handover
Progress reviews, communication of changes and review of the commissioned scope at handover.
Team and responsibilities
Every service needs clear responsibilities. The proposal and project documents should identify the people involved, their roles and the limits of the commissioned work: client contact, design authorship, specialist disciplines and construction coordination.
Contact and decisions
The contact person and communication channels should be agreed at the start. Requests, decisions and changes need enough context for everyone involved to understand them.
Design and specialist disciplines
Architecture and engineering address different aspects of a project. Authors, specialist disciplines and applicable deliverables are identified in the relevant documents according to the commissioned scope.
Construction coordination
Planning coordinates teams, supplies and access. Unforeseen conditions and changes requested during construction should be assessed before a revised cost or timeframe is agreed.
Handover and documentation
The final review should cover the commissioned work, the information handed over and any outstanding items. Documentation and applicable conditions depend on the service and contract.
Published information and commissioned work
The service descriptions, articles and answers on this website help you prepare an enquiry and understand design and construction decisions. For each project, the proposal and relevant documents identify the work, deliverables and responsibilities. Project pages describe the documented interventions; they do not define the scope of work for another property.
