Technical Inspections and ITE in Empuriabrava
(Alt Empordà)
If you need an ITE or a technical inspection to know the real state of a building, the most important thing is to have a clear, rigorous report aimed at deciding what needs to be done and in what order. As a technical architect in Empuriabrava and Alt Empordà, I carry out Technical Building Inspections (ITE) and specific inspections for communities, property managers and owners, providing technical criteria and a roadmap of actions.
Clear diagnosis
I detect defects and critical points that affect safety and structural preservation.
Actionable report
clear priorities and recommended actions, free of unnecessary technical jargon.
Community-oriented service
proven experience working with homeowners' associations and property managers.
What is a technical building inspection and when is it required
A technical inspection is a professional review of the state of preservation of a building or specific elements (facade, roof, structural frame, etc.) to identify defects, risks, and maintenance or rehabilitation needs.
The Technical Building Inspection (known as ITE in Catalonia) is a specific procedure applied to certain buildings (usually those of a significant age) and must be renewed periodically. It is particularly common for:
Homeowners' associations and multi-family buildings
Buildings showing signs of degradation (dampness, cracks, flaking, rust, etc.)
Situations requiring a technical report to plan interventions and budgets
Preventive management: catching issues before they turn into severe problems
The exact requirement and deadlines depend on the type of building and applicable regulations. If you provide me with the location and approximate year of construction, I will indicate if ITE is applicable and what the schedule would be.

Work process, indicative deadlines and budget
For inspections and ITEs, the key is carrying out a structured review, documenting thoroughly, and delivering a report that serves as a practical roadmap. The preferred channels are email and WhatsApp to share preliminary info and coordinate the visit.
Standard Process
- First contact (email/WhatsApp): you explain your case (ITE, specific inspection, specific defect) and the location.
- Information gathering: approximate age of the building, existing issues, available documents.
- Inspection visit: element-by-element review and data collection.
- Report and conclusions: diagnosis, priorities, and recommendations; followed by filing if applicable.
Deadlines
- Deadlines vary depending on the size of the building and whether it is a targeted inspection or a full ITE.
- Once the visit is done, the goal is to deliver the report swiftly so the community can make informed decisions and plan ahead.
Budget
Customised quotes, depending on:
- Type of inspection (full ITE or specific assessment)
- Dimensions and typology (entire building, specific elements, common areas)
- Accessibility and complexity
- Travel (Empuriabrava, Roses, Alt Empordà)
