Why Pietraviva
Those who build inspect themselves.
We answer to you.
Construction firms sell the works and then inspect their own work. Behind Pietraviva there is a technical studio: overseeing the site is a professional who answers to you, not to the contractor.
Purchase support and preliminary checks
We're by your side from the purchase: preliminary technical checks on building compliance carried out by our team of experts in planning compliance, so you know what you're buying before you sign.
Permits and compliance, stress-free
SCIA, CILA, cadastral and planning compliance, irregularities and amnesties, constraints and historic centres. Bureaucratic "red tape" is our daily craft.
Structures and safety
Site management, safety coordination and structural and seismic calculations — all under control. Decisive in seismic zones and on historic buildings.
Protection even "afterwards"
Testing, warranties, handling of defects and any disputes with the contractor. Peace of mind continues after the keys are handed over.
Services
From the pre-purchase check
to the handover of the keys.
Our core service
Turnkey renovation
One point of contact from idea to handover: design, permits, selected contractors, site management and finishes. You choose the materials; we take care of everything else. Fixed price and timelines guaranteed by contract.
Before you buy
Purchase support and pre-purchase checks
Our team of planning-compliance experts supports you in the purchase: preliminary technical checks on building and cadastral compliance, irregularities, constraints and the property's condition. You know what you're really buying — and what it will cost to fix — before signing at the notary.
When there's something to fix
Regularise + renovate
Many properties to renovate hide building irregularities. We combine amnesty, tolerances and renovation into a single path — what construction firms avoid, we solve.
The numbers add up
Spending plan and tax capacity
A clear payment plan from the quote stage. And, through external support, a summary check of your tax capacity to understand how much of the deductions you can actually recover.
The method
Five steps. No surprises.
Site visit
We visit the property, listen to what you want to achieve and check the actual state, documents included.
Design and fixed price
Design, specifications and a transparent cost estimate. The price you sign is the price you pay.
Permits
SCIA, CILA, cadastre, planning compliance: we prepare and file everything.
Controlled site
Selected contractors, site management and safety followed by our team, with constant updates.
Handover and warranties
Testing, final compliance and keys in hand. And we remain your point of reference afterwards too.
Completed projects
Three properties, three stories.
The same method.
A seaside villa renovated top to bottom, a historic residence brought back to its original design, a restored country house. This is how Pietraviva works, before and after.

Request a confidential consultationProperty investment
Buy, renovate, add value.
Rustics, country houses and properties to renovate are among the most interesting investments in our area — if you know exactly how much you'll spend. For those buying to resell or to earn rental income, Pietraviva offers complete turnkey support: one point of contact from finding the property to the final sale.
Purchase
Preliminary technical checks on building and planning compliance, an estimate of recovery costs and support in the negotiation. You buy already knowing what the operation will be worth.
Renovation
Design, permits, site and site management with a fixed price and timelines guaranteed by contract. The cost you sign is the cost of the operation.
Resale or rental
Two exit strategies: direct resale of the improved property, or rental income followed by a later sale. We help you choose the right one for your numbers.
A full cost forecast, before you buy.
A single statement with all the numbers of the operation: purchase cost, technical and renovation costs, estimated resale value or rental income. Decide whether to invest with the full picture in front of you, not once the site has started.
