From drawing board to home on the Costa Blanca
Daan Groen is the Dutch building company in Altea. New builds, renovations, extensions and swimming pools, with a regular architect and one point of contact from first sketch to handover.
What we build on the Costa Blanca
As a Dutch building contractor in Altea, we build and renovate villas, apartments and fincas. With our own tradespeople and a regular network of roofers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, tilers and plasterers.
-
New build New villas, designed with the architects’ practice Arquiforma. A 3D presentation shows the result before building begins.
-
Renovation From a complete structural renovation to a partial refurbishment, with a free choice of materials and brands.
-
Extensions and annexes An extra bedroom or bathroom, a garage, conservatory, balcony or covered terrace.
-
Swimming pools New swimming pools, including infinity pools, and renovation of existing pools. With heating, LED lighting or a roller cover.
-
Plumbing and bathrooms From the new layout to tiling and installation. We go to the showroom with you to choose models and brands.
First in 3D, then for real
Arquiforma, an architects’ practice in Alfaz del Pi, produces the design with a 3D presentation and obtains the licence from the town hall. That way you have a clear picture of the result before work begins. Then we build it.

What our clients say
From the design, application of planning permission, permits required and consultation with ourselves regarding every step of the project the level exceeded our expectations.
A very professional approach, and they always keep to what has been agreed. The work is closely followed up and afterwards everything is neatly cleaned up.
Daan Groen renovated our villa. Skilled/quick and for a fair price. They keep their word and do excellent work.
I have commissioned building work 17 times, both for business and privately; … my experience with Daan Groen tops the list, thanks to their flexibility and mutual respect.
Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your question? Call us or send a WhatsApp message on +34 620 330 798.
Do you speak English?
Yes. The partners and the office speak English, Dutch and Spanish, and you have one point of contact for your whole project. Daan Groen is a Dutch building company.
Do you also arrange the architect and the building licence?
Yes. For new builds and most renovations we work with Arquiforma, an architects’ practice in Alfaz del Pi. They produce the design and a 3D presentation, and apply to the town hall for the licence.
When do I need an architect?
For work that changes the structural stability, the architectural character or the appearance of a house, and whenever a swimming pool is installed. Think of a new roof structure or an extension. The rules vary from one Costa Blanca municipality to the next.
Can I see some of your previous work?
Yes. We are happy to show you projects in person, so you can judge our way of working and the standard of finish for yourself.
Which areas do you cover?
The northern Costa Blanca, from our office in Altea. Recent projects include work in Altea, Altea la Vella, Alfaz del Pi, La Nucía, Moraira, Benitatxell and Dénia.
How does a project start?
With a meeting on site. Your wishes are the starting point; after that you receive a tailored quotation in which you choose the brands and materials yourself.
