A binding contract is only formed when both parties sign a written agreement or otherwise expressly accept the terms of a formal proposal, including scope, price, timeline, payment conditions and responsibilities.

Construction and renovation works in Portugal may be subject to licensing, prior notification or compliance requirements under applicable legislation, including rules on urban planning, building safety and technical standards.

Buildfort coordinates qualified professionals and manages projects with a focus on quality, safety and compliance. Clients are responsible for providing accurate information about the property, existing conditions and project requirements.

Hidden defects, structural conditions or unforeseen site issues discovered during works may require additional scope, time or cost, which will be communicated and agreed in accordance with the applicable contract.

Buildfort undertakes to deliver services with professional diligence and in accordance with agreed specifications. Legal warranties applicable to construction and renovation services under Portuguese law, including those relating to conformity of works and hidden defects, apply as provided by law and as set out in the relevant contract.
