Buying an apartment or a villa in the South of France means starting a new life. The mere thought of your property under the southern French sun makes life in the daily traffic jam much more bearable. After all, you can get in the car (or plane) anytime and go to the sunny South.
There is, of course, a lot to consider and to manage when purchasing a (new-build) property. You would prefer to be there daily to make the interior perfect, but that doesn’t work. And to monitor everything from a distance is sometimes quite tricky. If you have ordered a kitchen, golden bathtub or furniture, who keeps a finger on the pulse of the supplier? And when you must select new tiles, but you cannot just come to the showroom. Who makes a video call on-site and shows you the possibilities? There are countless situations in which you can use a project manager.

Renovation and construction project management in the South of France
Living on the Cote d’Azur provides an additional service created by customer demand. Anyone looking for a reliable contractor in the South of France for maintenance, renovation, extension, or complete house construction will discuss it with various parties.
And no matter how beautiful the brochure is and how nice the local French contractor may seem, the reality is, in many cases, different. Customers tell us their experiences: after many negotiations they agree to the price. But after a deposit of 40%, it remains silent.
After a few days, the French contractor finally gets on the line. They are told that he will only start planning after the down payment and that work will probably start next month. Of course, that is not the best start for a renovation in the South of France that you are so looking forward to.
The right contractor for every job
Living on the Cote d’Azur has offered our network with reliable contractors for every type of job. For small studio renovations or simple jobs such as painting, we work together with a company that is very suitable for this. If you want more extensive renovations and severe construction work, you need a different type of contractor.
Naturally, all companies we propose to you have company insurance and are certified to install or renew electricity. To follow the renovation’s progress in the South of France, we will open a WhatsApp group in which progress is communicated weekly using photos and videos.
Some customers want us to check on how the renovation is going regularly or contact other suppliers, such as a stylist, a furniture supplier, or a decoration company. We additionally engage in this construction supervision and serve as an extra check between the customer, contractor, and other suppliers.
Construction supervision in the South of France
As construction and renovation supervisors, we closely monitor whether the contractor is adhering to the agreements or whether the planning is not out of step. We are also present at the consultation moments between customers, architects, contractors and suppliers for a spa or jacuzzi. Contact with the architect is also maintained; clear communication and ‘being on top of it’ prevent misunderstandings and possible errors.
You can also consult our renovation project guidance for collecting materials during the renovation period. A construction supervisor is smart and easy to work with during the renovation and after it has been completed. What should you do if there are unexpected construction problems?
The construction supervisor makes an inventory, mediates, and provides a solution. The supervisor can also visit the project regularly and thus keep a close eye on the progress.
