Building Design Services in Falconara Marittima, The Marches, Italy

“We engaged Alberto Latini in May 2012 for realising our dream house in the Marche region in Italy. Building is a laborious and money consuming project. However, Alberto Latini guided us through the administrative local requirements, which would have been impossible for us to meet in such a short time period, between planning, organisation, and actual start of the construction of our house. Furthermore, he advised how to stay within our budget, sought for less expensive but equally quality alternatives, and executed the whole project exactly in time and planned as predicted. Every day we received photos of the progress of the work. It was a great relieve that the construction advanced quickly with surprising few technical problems, and unpleasant financial surprises. He knows good, local craftsmen and also helped us to overcome the cultural differences between us and the Italians. He helped to build a sustainable house, that is low in energy consumption and that has the possibility of being an independent house in terms of energy consumption. First, Alberto Latini helped to get and make the private road to our home. After pulling down the old ruin, he suggested to replace the house a few meters in order to make the best use of the terrain and place future buildings according to the building/construction laws. Thirdly, he selected some contractors to build the house to our requirements. He made detailed specifications that he explained to us. After choosing the contractor, he followed up the works and sent us daily photos of the ongoing work. After the construction, he helped to find a good material for the bathrooms and kitchens. He also assisted in dealing with the local authorities for taxes, building permits etc. Nowadays we are designing our garden and he helped to constructed an ecological swimming pond. When we are not in Italy, he helped to find some local people that take care of our house when we are away. Besides helping to build the house, he advices us on furniture shops, and all other things that makes a house into a home. He even suggested some beautiful, hidden spots and local activities so we can become integrated in the local community. We believe that Alberto Latini has the experience and expertise to meet everyone’s expectations. If we had to do this project all over again, we would definitely work with Alberto Latini again!”
