A cost per square meter is not enough
In the query how much does new build in Mallorca cost, people often ask for a quick square-meter price. It is a starting reference, but it cannot replace a technical analysis of plot and regulations.
Two homes with similar size can differ greatly in cost due to slope, foundations, access, orientation, and services complexity.
Variables that move the budget the most
Major differences usually come from topography, structural system, envelope quality, HVAC strategy, and joinery level. Supply times and contractor availability also matter.
Defining these items before tendering reduces deviations and allows fair comparison between offers.
How to protect budget and timeline
A well-defined execution project is the main budget-control tool. The clearer the project, the fewer on-site changes appear.
At BAU, we plan new-build projects in Mallorca from planning feasibility to site supervision to reduce uncertainty and focus on high-impact decisions.
