A measured bill of quantities and cost estimate, prepared before ground is broken, so the budget rests on measured work rather than a round number and a hope.
Done properly this usually saves several times what it costs, because it catches expensive decisions on paper — where changing them is free — instead of on site, where it is not.
The estimate is only as good as the drawings behind it. We start by establishing what is drawn, what is assumed, and where the gaps are.
You end up withScope and assumption listQuantities are taken off the drawings item by item — the slow part, and the part that makes the number mean something.
You end up withBill of quantitiesRates are applied and the estimate assembled, with the basis of each recorded rather than buried.
You end up withCost estimate with stated basisWe walk you through where the money is, what is driving it, and which decisions would move it most. That conversation is usually worth more than the document.
You end up withCost review and optionsBefore signing with a contractor is the last moment a number is still cheap to change.
A measured baseline tells you which quote is wrong rather than which is lowest.
A lender wants a number with reasoning behind it, not a figure per square metre.
Knowing which elements carry the cost is what makes cutting it a design exercise rather than a blunt reduction.
C.F.L. has been designing and delivering buildings from Limassol since 2009 — long enough to know how the local authorities read a set of drawings.
Design, engineering, permits and inspection under one roof means one number to call when something needs deciding — and nobody able to point at somebody else.
A per-square-metre figure is a starting point for a conversation, not a budget. Everything here is taken off the drawings.
You can see what the number rests on, which means you can see what would change it.
Timings depend on the plot, the size of the building and how quickly the authorities respond. Ask us for a schedule against your specific project.
€600 – €2,000
The range covers most projects of this kind. Your exact fee depends on the plot, the building and the scope, and is set out in a written proposal before work starts.
An established house in Fasoula reworked into one calmer composition, keeping its stone, its tiled roofs and its mature garden.
Three independent villas on one sloping plot in Agios Athanasios, parking tucked under the houses, one shared architectural language.
Six apartments on three floors in Germasogeia, with deep planted balconies that give the façade its rhythm.

“Most of what people ask us in the first meeting is answered in here. Read it first — then the meeting can be about your project rather than the basics.”
Where the money goes in a Cyprus house, why per-square-metre figures mislead, which decisions carry disproportionate cost, and how to compare quotes that look nothing like each other.
