Condominium Works
in Porto
Facade rehabilitation, roofing, waterproofing, and maintenance for occupied buildings. Itemised technical proposal ready for the AGM, own team, and minimal disruption to residents — across Greater Porto and Minho.
Specialists in Occupied Buildings
Working in a condominium is a responsibility that goes beyond technical execution. It requires coordination with management, respect for residents, and compliance with applicable legislation. InnovXcellence has a team specialised in works in occupied buildings, with experience in facades, roofs, waterproofing, and preventive maintenance across Greater Porto and Minho.
We work in close coordination with the condominium manager at every stage — from the free technical survey to handover and warranty. We prepare technical reports and itemised proposals, ready to present at the owners' general meeting, with descriptive memo, bill of quantities, and timeline.
From Survey
to Warranty
Free Technical Survey
A technician visits the building and assesses the condition of facades, roofs, common areas, and structural elements. We identify existing defects and the interventions needed, with no obligation.
Technical Report
We prepare a technical report with the diagnosis of defects, photographs of the current condition, and intervention recommendations in priority order. The document is delivered to the management for decision support.
Itemised Proposal for the AGM
We prepare a proposal with descriptive memo, bill of quantities, timeline, and itemised budget — ready to present and justify at the owners' general meeting.
Approval in the Minutes
The proposal is put to a vote at the general meeting and the resolution is recorded in the minutes. We can attend, at the manager's request, to answer technical questions from unit owners.
Planning with Residents
After approval, we plan the works in coordination with the manager: detailed schedule, compatible working hours, advance notice to residents, and protection of common areas and access.
Execution
Works proceed with our own team, compliance with health and safety legislation, daily communication with the manager, progress photos, and regular site cleaning.
Handover & Warranty
On completion, we hand over the works with the manager, deliver the responsibility deed and the legal 5-year warranty. We also offer annual preventive maintenance plans.

Condominium
How We Minimise Disruption to Residents
Working in an occupied building requires care for those who live there. We adopt a set of measures to ensure works proceed with the least possible inconvenience to residents, without compromising quality and safety.
Compatible Hours
We work during hours adjusted to residents' lives, avoiding noise during rest periods and respecting condominium regulations.
Advance Notice
We communicate in advance, in writing, the dates and works to be carried out, so each resident can plan accordingly.
Protection of Common Areas
We protect access, entrances, and common areas with mats, films, and signage to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.
Daily Cleaning
The work area is cleaned daily. At the end of each shift, we collect debris and keep passageways clear.
Constant Communication
The manager has a direct point of contact and regular updates on work progress, with photos and status reports.
On-Site Safety
We comply with health and safety legislation: signage, collective and individual protections, and €450,000 public liability insurance.
Financing & Common Reserve Fund
Condominium works can be financed through different mechanisms provided by law. The choice of financing method must be deliberated at the owners' general meeting and recorded in the minutes.
Ordinary maintenance fund: The condominium must constitute an annual fund for conservation works. This fund can be used to finance maintenance interventions in the building.
Common reserve fund: For buildings over 25 years old or in specific conditions, the law provides for a common reserve fund for extraordinary conservation works. Its constitution and use must be approved at the general meeting.
Special levy: When the maintenance fund is insufficient, unit owners may be called to contribute via a special levy, approved at the general meeting, in proportion to their permilab.

Questions & Answers
Responsibility for paying facade works generally lies with the condominium, borne by all unit owners in proportion to their permilab. The financing method — maintenance fund, special levy, or other — must be approved at the general meeting. We recommend confirming this with the condominium manager or a legal professional, as each situation may have specific features.
The required majorities depend on the type and value of the works. As a rule, conservation works may be approved by a majority representing more than half the total value of the building, but certain interventions may require qualified majorities. The resolution must be taken at a general meeting and recorded in the minutes. We recommend confirming the applicable requirements with the condominium manager or a legal professional.
Yes. We prepare a technical and itemised proposal, with descriptive memo, bill of quantities, and timeline, ready to be presented and justified at the owners' general meeting. We can also attend, at the management's request, to answer technical questions from unit owners.
The timeline depends on the facade area, the degree of degradation, and the type of intervention. After the technical survey, we present a detailed schedule in the proposal. As a rule, facade rehabilitation on a medium-sized building takes a few weeks, with our own team and daily coordination.
In most cases, no. We work in occupied buildings and adopt measures to minimise disruption: compatible hours, protection of common areas, advance notice to residents, and daily site cleaning. In specific cases requiring intervention inside a unit (e.g. balcony damp), we arrange it with the resident in advance.
We apply the legal 5-year warranty on construction works, with a responsibility deed at handover. The warranty covers works executed by our team. Applied materials may have additional manufacturer warranty. We recommend confirming the specific warranty terms in the submitted proposal.
