Make the brief easy to share
Gather photographs, available plans and a list of what you want to change. Explain how you use the property and when you expect to be there. Clear priorities give the local conversation a useful starting point.
Owners living abroad · Casas de 88
Your home here. Your life elsewhere.
Owning a property in Medellín while living elsewhere should not leave your renovation brief full of unanswered questions. We help you plan the work, with local construction expertise and an agreed way to follow decisions from abroad.
A project shaped around you.
Agree how decisions will happen
Choose who will approve materials, design details and changes. Agree the communication channel and update rhythm before work starts, taking your time zone into account. Keep the current scope and approvals in a shared record.
Plan the final review early
Discuss how the completed work will be reviewed against the agreed scope. If you cannot attend the walkthrough, raise that during planning so an appropriate arrangement can be discussed. Record any outstanding items that need attention.
How to begin
A first conversation that works across borders
Share the property location, proposed changes, your current country and the timing you have in mind. You can prepare a brief in the project planner, review it and open it in Mariana’s WhatsApp chat. Your decisions still matter throughout the project, so agree how you will stay involved rather than leaving approvals until the last moment.
Frequently asked questions
Let’s talk through the details.
Can I plan a renovation while living abroad?

How often will I receive updates?
The communication frequency and format should be agreed for your project before work begins. Discuss what you need and how it fits the project schedule and time zones.
Is the project planner an online booking or payment?
No. It prepares a brief on your device that you can copy, download or open in WhatsApp. You review and send the message yourself to begin a conversation.
