If you are looking for a construction company in Mallorca, you've probably seen a dozen websites that all say the same thing: "quality, professionalism, experience." This page isn't like that. Here we explain what you should demand before signing with any construction company, what exactly we do, what legal guarantees a reputable company must provide in 2026, and when Armalutx—founded in 1967, with over 1,500 completed projects—is a good option for your project and when it isn't. No filters.
5 things that matter when choosing a construction company in Mallorca
Before requesting quotes, ask all the construction companies you speak to for this information. If any of them don't provide it in writing, rule them out.
- Verifiable years in operation and number of completed projects. A construction company with only five years of experience lacks the structural track record to guarantee anything for ten years. Verify with the Companies Registry and their actual construction activity.
- Contracting model: fixed price or on a pay-as-you-go basis. A fixed price means a price agreed upon on the first day. On a pay-as-you-go basis means you pay for labor and materials—and you cover any unforeseen expenses. The second model is the cause of the 80% conflicts between client and construction company.
- Explicit legal guarantees according to the Building Regulations Act (LOE). Every construction company is obligated to provide 1, 3, or 10-year guarantees depending on the type of damage (finishes, habitability, structure). If this isn't stated in the contract, that's a problem.
- References to recent projects you can visit. Not just photos on the website. Physical addresses. A reputable construction company will take you to see two or three projects completed within the last 24 months.
- Own team vs. full subcontracting. Ask how many skilled workers they have on staff. If they subcontract 100% of the labor, coordination and quality control are delegated.
We have an expanded analysis of this topic in our guide on how to choose the best construction company in Mallorca, with additional technical criteria and common mistakes that owners make when comparing budgets.
What we build and what we renovate at Armalutx
We are not a generalist construction company that takes on any project. We operate three service lines, each with our own specialized team and over five decades of refined methodology.
| Service line | What's included | Who hires him |
| New turnkey construction | Project, licenses, complete execution, installations, finishes, certificates | Landowners, developers with consolidated urban land, buyers of legalized rural property |
| Comprehensive and partial reforms | Demolition, new installations, masonry, cladding, carpentry, kitchen and bathrooms | Individuals with inherited apartments or houses, investors with rental portfolios, foreign residents with second homes |
| Structural reinforcements | Replacement or reinforcement of beams, slabs, load-bearing walls; mecanoviga, carbon fiber, reinforced concrete | Homeowners' associations with building pathologies, owners of old properties, buildings with aluminosis or carbonation |
If your project involves renovations, we go into more detail about the scope and processes on our page of Home renovations in Mallorca. If it's new construction from a plot of land, we'll work on it in detail in the section on construction company for new builds in Mallorca. And if you have detected structural problems in an old building — cracks, deformed beams, sagging floors — the scope covered by the section on structural reinforcements in Mallorca it's the one specifically for those cases.
We also carry out renovations of traditional facades with marés stone and dry stone, and construction of swimming pools integrated into new construction projects.
The construction sector in Mallorca in 2026: context that affects your project
The sector is experiencing a very different situation than it was three years ago. This matters because it affects deadlines, prices, and equipment availability on the island.
- Building permits for new construction are on the rise: in Palma alone, 694 new homes were approved in 2025, 50.1% more than the previous year, according to data from the Balearic Islands Architects' Association (COAIB). Renovations increased by 19.2%—a record figure in recent years.
- 2026 Forecast: The Mallorca Builders Association predicts a year-end increase of 401,000 new construction projects and 371,000 renovation projects. This has three practical consequences: full schedules, longer delivery times for materials, and rising prices.
- A changing regulatory framework: Law 4/2025, passed in July, aims to expedite urban planning procedures in municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants, which is beginning to have a noticeable impact on licensing times in Palma, Inca, Manacor, and Calvià. Even so, the Balearic Islands Urban Planning Law 12/2017 (LUIB) remains the primary framework.
- Price per square meter for sale in Palma: €5,152/m² in April 2026, an all-time high, +9.81% year-on-year according to Idealista. Building or renovating to sell or rent remains profitable, but margins have narrowed.
Practical conclusion: if your project is now, closing the contract early usually means saving thousands of euros and not being left out of the schedule for 2026.
Legal guarantees: what every serious construction company must assume
Law 38/1999 on Building Regulations (LOE) requires all construction companies to provide three levels of warranty on the completed work. These are the terms and what they cover:
| Warranty | Term | What it covers |
| Ten-year guarantee | 10 years | Structural damage: foundations, load-bearing walls, slabs, beams |
| Three-year warranty | 3 years | Habitability: watertightness, installations, insulation, hygiene |
| Annual warranty | 1 year | Finishing services: painting, tiling, carpentry, minor repairs |
These guarantees must be included in the construction contract. For new construction, a ten-year structural warranty insurance policy is also required before handover—this is managed by the construction company and a copy is given to the owner upon completion of the project.
If a company tells you that "all of that is already covered" without showing you the specific clause and ten-year insurance policy, that's a red flag. We provide all three guarantees in writing before signing, and the ten-year insurance policy along with the keys.
Completed projects: typologies and areas where we work
In 59 years we have completed more than 1,500 projects. Here's a breakdown by type—so you can see if your project fits with what we do:
- New-build single-family homes: consolidated urban plots, legalized rural land, properties in the Tramuntana mountains, houses with integrated swimming pools. Typical sizes range from 180 to 600 m².
- Complete apartment renovations: apartments in Palma city center, Santa Catalina, Portitxol, Es Molinar, Calvià and municipalities of the Raiguer region. From 50 m² to entire penthouses.
- Renovation of traditional village houses: in Inca, Lloseta, Selva, Sineu, Sencelles, Pollensa, Sóller and Manacor. Marés stone walls, wooden beams, hydraulic tile floors.
- Structural reinforcements: buildings from the 19th and first half of the 20th century, properties with aluminosis (typical of the 60s-70s), wooden floors with rot.
- Changes of use from premises to housing: especially in Palma, where the price per square meter makes it profitable to transform commercial premises into residential apartments.
We cover all of Mallorca from our headquarters in Inca. The areas where we complete the most projects each year are Palma, Inca and the Raiguer region, Calvià, Andratx, Sóller and Pollensa.
When are we a good option for your project and when are we not?
A reputable construction company isn't a good fit for every client. Here's where we work well and where, honestly, we don't:
We are a good option if:
- You're looking for a fixed price and a signed deadline from day one.
- You want a single point of contact throughout the entire project
- You value documented experience over the lowest price on the market.
- Your work is in Mallorca and your deadline is reasonable (not "this week")
- You work with mid-range or premium quality materials
We're probably not a good option if:
- Your only criterion is the lowest price: our fixed-price quotes include margins to cover unforeseen expenses, so the raw price may seem higher than an open quote that then increases by 30%.
- Looking for quick work without a technical plan? We don't get involved in renovations without a plan, without a permit, or with impossible deadlines.
- Need work done outside of Mallorca? We only operate on the island.
This sincerity is part of the job: the best work begins with aligned expectations.
Frequently asked questions when hiring a construction company in Mallorca
What documentation do I need to request before signing a contract with a construction company?
Five documents: proof of registration with Social Security and social security contributions for staff, a current civil liability insurance policy, a certificate of being up-to-date with tax and social security payments, proof of registration in the Register of Accredited Companies (REA), and the contract template with the LOE guarantee clauses. A reputable construction company provides these before signing—without you having to ask twice.
What is the difference between a construction company and a renovation company in Mallorca?
A construction company carries out major works—including new construction, extensions, structural modifications, and projects requiring major permits with approved technical plans. A renovation company typically specializes in minor works: aesthetic changes, minor replacements, painting, flooring. At Armalutx, we cover both because some projects begin as minor renovations and uncover structural issues that require more extensive intervention.
What is the cost per square meter of construction in Mallorca in 2026?
Prices range from €1,800 to €3,500/m² for new builds, depending on the quality and location. Standard single-family homes: €1,800-€2,400/m². Mid-to-high-end properties: €2,500-€3,000/m². Luxury properties in Son Vida, Deià, or Puerto Andratx: above €3,500/m², with some exceeding €5,000/m² for home automation, aerothermal heating and cooling, and exclusive materials.
Who is technically in charge of the construction work: the construction company or the architect?
The project management is handled by the registered architect in charge and a building engineer (or an independent building engineer, as applicable). The construction company carries out the work under their supervision. It's important to note: the construction company doesn't make decisions for you or the architect. At Armalutx, we work with both external architects chosen by the client and our own collaborators—whichever you prefer.
Can I hire a construction company for only one phase of the project?
Yes, but it needs to be evaluated. Some clients want customized work: just demolition, just installations, just structural reinforcement, and then they look for another team for the finishing touches. It's feasible, but it usually increases the overall cost because each team charges for mobilization and coordination becomes more complicated. Our main model is a complete project—it's more cost-effective and avoids conflicts between trades.
