Structure and construction
Organisation of the work from structural stages through to preparation for finishes.
Services
New-build construction
A new build requires the structure, services, finishes and sequence of work to be considered as parts of the same project. JVAF assesses each build before defining the most appropriate way forward.

What the work may include
New-build construction
The work is defined around the design, the site and the way the finished building will be used.
Coordination of trades
Practical coordination of the different areas of work to reduce conflicts during construction.
Finishes
Continuity between materials, solutions and final details in line with what has been defined for the project.
Project follow-up
Communication throughout the build to clarify decisions and keep the next step visible.
What needs to be understood before moving forward
During the first conversation, we aim to understand the type of building, its location, the stage reached and the information already available.
Plans, measurements and other technical information can be reviewed later when they are needed to assess the work correctly.
From our base in Barcelos, we assess work in Northern Portugal and elsewhere on the mainland, depending on the location, size and characteristics of each project.
How we begin
How we begin
Each enquiry is assessed around the space, the work required and the information available.
1. We listen
We understand what you want to do, the location and the current stage of the project.
2. We assess
We consider the needs, constraints and information required to define the work.
3. We define the next step
We clarify initial questions and explain the most appropriate way to continue the assessment.
Frequently asked questions
What should I provide in my first enquiry?
A general description of what you want to build, the location of the site and the current project stage is enough to begin. Further information can be gathered afterwards.
Can JVAF cover different stages of a build?
Yes. The scope is defined for each project and may include different stages, from structural construction to finishes.
Which areas can be considered for a new build?
JVAF is based in Barcelos and assesses projects in Northern Portugal and elsewhere on the mainland, depending on the location, size and characteristics of the build.
Have this type of work in mind?
Tell us, in simple terms, what you want to do and where the project is located. We will contact you to understand the enquiry in more detail.
