Questions To Ask

  • Keep on longlist. Request additional Cycladic private-villa examples.
  • Ask whether they can work within premium villa cost, timeline, and development requirements.
  • What exact role did your office have on the referenced projects?
  • Which projects are built, visitable, and supported by client or contractor references?
  • Who handles permits, construction documents, site supervision, and contractor coordination?
