The 10 phases of building a house in Portugal — skip none of them
Building a house means months of decisions in an order nobody explains to you. This checklist puts the 10 phases in the right order — from the land to the licença de utilização (occupancy permit) — with the documents for each phase and the typical trap to avoid.
- Land: what to check before making an offer
- Feasibility and PDM (municipal master plan): what you can actually build
- Team: architect, engineers and budgets
- Architectural project and permitting
- Specialty engineering and construction financing
- …and 5 more phases, all the way to getting the keys.

Why is it free?
Because it’s an honest sample of our work. If the checklist is useful to you, one day you might want the Kit Compra & Construção (in Portuguese) — the full Excel simulator, with the 2026 tax tables and the buy-vs-build comparison. If you don’t, the checklist is yours either way.
