Facade, garden and pool surrounds
Outdoor work has to stand up to the weather, look right and, where needed, meet permit requirements. We treat the facade, garden and pool surrounds as one project and build them with the same team.
Scope
What's included
- On-site survey of the existing facade, ground and drainage
- Facade cladding and surface renewal
- Signage and lettering built into the facade
- Building entrance and lobby work
- Garden landscaping and hard surfaces (stone, decking, interlocking paving)
- Pool surrounds and terrace finishes
- Outdoor lighting
- Weather-resistant materials, chosen with you
- A checked handover
Not included
- Building the pool itself and its technical equipment (assessed separately on request)
- Structural changes affecting the load-bearing system (these need an engineer's design and a permit)
- Municipal and building-management permit procedures (we advise on the documents needed, but applying remains the client's responsibility)
What decides the price and the timescale?
-
What affects the price?
The size and condition of the space, the scope of work and the materials you choose. We don't work from a fixed price list: every job is measured and priced on its own.
-
Free survey and quote
Once we have seen and measured the space, we send you an itemised written quote. In and around Istanbul, the survey and the quote are both free, with no obligation.
-
A written schedule
With the quote you get a written schedule showing how long the work will take, and we run the job to it.
From bare shell to handover
The same space at three stages: empty, mid-build and on handover day.
-
01Bare shell
We measure the new or stripped-out space and check the services, the floor and the walls.
-
02Build
Services, plasterboard, ceilings and floors follow in the planned order, on a tidy site.
-
03Handover
The final coat of paint, the lighting and the furniture go in, and the space is handed over ready to use.
How the work runs
-
Survey and permit check
We inspect the facade and outdoor area on site and check with you whether the municipality or building management needs to approve a facade or signage change.
-
Design and materials
We prepare drawings for the facade, garden and pool surrounds and choose weather-resistant materials together from samples.
-
Build
Groundwork and drainage first, then cladding, landscaping and lighting. We agree the schedule with you before starting and share progress as we go.
-
Handover
We close out snags against a checklist, check the lighting with you after dark and hand over.

Common questions
Send a few photos of your space and we'll give you a straight answer.
Message us on WhatsApp (opens in WhatsApp)Do I need a permit to change a facade or sign?
Work that changes the look of a facade or a sign may need approval from the municipality and the building management. We look at this with you during the survey and advise on the documents needed; applying remains the client's responsibility.
Can a shopfront be renovated without closing the shop?
We agree how the work will run before we start, and plan the sequence around your trading hours and the shop's opening date.
Which materials suit outdoor use?
Cladding, paving and lighting all have to cope with sun, rain and damp, so we recommend products made for outdoor use. We choose them with you from samples.
Can the garden and pool surrounds be done in one project?
Yes. Garden paving, landscaping, pool surrounds and lighting can be planned as one project with one team, so the materials and details match.
