One Coordinated Project
Commercial Unit Construction in Valencia
What's Included in a Commercial Unit Build-Out?
A commercial unit build-out covers everything between an empty shell and a space a business can move into. The goal is to deliver a finished, licence-ready unit in one coordinated project, not a string of separate contractors.
- ✓ Internal partition walls
- ✓ Suspended or false ceilings
- ✓ Floor screed and finish flooring
- ✓ Electrical installation sized for commercial use
- ✓ Plumbing for toilets, kitchens or staff areas
- ✓ Ventilation and extraction systems
- ✓ Fire safety systems and emergency lighting
- ✓ Shopfront glazing and entrance doors
- ✓ Accessible toilet and entrance where required
- ✓ Signage zone preparation on the facade
- ✓ Data and telecoms cabling
- ✓ Final snagging and licence-ready handover
Every Type of Commercial Unit
Retail, Offices, Hospitality
and More
A local comercial can end up as almost any kind of business — a shop, a clinic, a small office, a bar or restaurant. Each type has its own layout and installation requirements, and we adjust the build accordingly rather than using one generic template.
- ✓ Retail shops and showrooms
- ✓ Offices and co-working spaces
- ✓ Restaurants, cafés and bars, with kitchen extraction
- ✓ Beauty salons, clinics and treatment rooms
- ✓ Gyms, studios and other fitness spaces

Already Fitted Out?
Commercial Space Renovation in Valencia
When You Need a Renovation, Not a New Build-Out
If the unit you have taken on already has walls, flooring, electrics and a ceiling — even if they are dated or not suited to your business — you likely do not need construction from a bare shell. In that case, our Commercial Space Renovation service is the right fit; it works with the existing fit-out rather than building from scratch. Commercial unit construction, on this page, is for a genuine local comercial en bruto — an empty shell with no finished walls, floors or systems in place.
- ✓ Unit currently has finished walls, floor and ceiling
- ✓ Existing electrics and plumbing are usable, if dated
- ✓ You are changing use rather than starting from a bare shell
- ✓ A previous tenant's fit-out needs stripping and updating
- ✓ You want to keep some existing systems and finishes

Local Insight
Licencia de Actividad: The Permit That's Separate From the Building Permit
Many overseas business owners assume that once construction is finished and signed off, they can simply open. In Spain, a commercial unit also needs a licencia de actividad — an activity licence — issued by the local ayuntamiento (town hall), which confirms the finished space meets the technical requirements for the specific business you are running, not just general building rules. Requirements differ significantly by activity: a hospitality unit needs extraction and noise limits a retail shop does not, while a clinic has its own accessibility and hygiene rules. Because the activity licence is tied to what the space was built to do, it is far cheaper to plan for it from the first design sketch than to retrofit a finished unit that fails inspection. We build the technical requirements for your specific activity into the project from day one and prepare the documentation your gestor or architect needs to submit.

★★★★★
Took over an empty shell for our café and they built everything — walls, kitchen extraction, toilets, floor. Passed the activity licence inspection first time.
★★★★★
We ran the project remotely from the UK. Weekly photos and video calls meant we always knew exactly what stage the build was at.
★★★★★
Clear about what the space needed for a beauty salon licence before we even signed the lease. Saved us picking the wrong unit.
Commercial Unit Construction
FAQ
What is a local comercial and how is this different from renovating a shop?
A local comercial is a commercial unit or shop premises. This service is for a bare shell — a unit with no finished walls, floors or working systems yet. If your unit already has a fit-out and just needs updating, our Commercial Space Renovation service is usually the better fit.
+
Do you help with the licencia de actividad, not just the building permit?
Yes. The licencia de actividad is a separate activity licence confirming the finished unit meets the technical requirements for your specific type of business. We design the build around your activity's requirements and prepare the documentation needed for the application.
+
Can you handle electrical and plumbing for a commercial unit, not just walls and flooring?
Yes, we install electrical systems sized for commercial equipment and footfall, plumbing for toilets, kitchens or treatment rooms, and ventilation or extraction where the activity requires it, alongside the structural and finishing works.
+
How long does a commercial unit build-out take?
Timelines depend on the unit's size, the complexity of the layout and installations, and how quickly permits are approved. We give a project timeline as part of the quote, once we know the scope and the activity licence requirements.
+
Can you build out a unit for a specific type of business, like a restaurant or clinic?
Yes, we adjust the structure, ventilation, plumbing and finishes to match the requirements of your specific activity, whether that is hospitality, retail, a clinic, a gym or an office.
