New builds, foundations to handover.

Building from the ground up, anywhere in Portugal — including for owners who aren’t here. We work with your architect, or help you find the right one, and take it from drawings through licensing, tender and construction to a finished, certified house. Two ways to do it: as your independent project manager, tendering the build to vetted contractors, or built directly by our own teams. Either way you get proper trades, a real programme, and someone checking the work at every stage.

Managed for you, or built by us.

A new build is the longest, most expensive thing most people ever commission, and it’s the one where being on the other side of the world hurts most. Licensing, architect coordination, a twelve-to-eighteen month programme and a contractor you’ve only just met — that needs someone standing over it who is answerable to you.

Project Management — we run it independently: scope and stage plan, tender to vetted contractors, quality hold-points, invoices checked before you pay, through to the licença de utilização. You hold the contract. No commissions.

Construction by Antipodean — we build it directly with our own teams, on our own contract. Also covered on this page.

One builder, start to finish.

A new build has dozens of trades and decisions that have to land in the right order. We manage the whole sequence — working with your architect and Portuguese contractors we trust — so nothing gets lost in translation and the build runs to a realistic programme.

Buying first? Start with an independent pre-purchase survey — we’ll tell you exactly what the property needs before you commit a euro to the work. And if you go ahead, the same builder who inspected it delivers it — one point of contact from survey to handover.

We’re a fully licensed Portuguese construction company — IMPIC Alvará n.º 109726-PAR — which you can verify on the public register. We work across Porto, Lisbon and the rest of Portugal.

Architect to handover.

Questions, answered.

Do I need to have an architect already?

Not necessarily. We can work with your architect, or help you find the right one. Either way we manage the build itself from foundations to handover.

Do you build outside Porto?

Yes. We’re based in Porto and take on new builds across Portugal, including the Lisbon area and the Silver Coast.

How do you keep a new build on budget?

A realistic budget and programme agreed up front, proper trades for each stage rather than whoever’s available, and quality checked by a builder — not just promised by a contractor. Decisions made in order, not twice.

Can you handle licensing and paperwork?

We support the licensing and câmara municipal process and coordinate the sign-offs a new build needs, so the paperwork keeps pace with the work.
