Investing in Marrakech or Agadir: how to compare the two markets
Two sought-after destinations, two different logics. A comparison framework based on use, not on promises of yield.
Services
Project monitoring, construction and handover
If you cannot be on site all the time, we coordinate your construction, renovation or fitting-out project and document the agreed stages.
What need does this service meet?
An off-plan purchase, a renovation or the fitting-out of a property calls for a regular presence: progress meetings, tracking of deadlines, acceptance of the works. From a distance, it is hard to know where a building site really stands.
How does the monitoring work?
- Scoping. Together we define the stages to be monitored, the frequency of reports and the parties concerned.
- Coordination. We liaise with the developer, the architect, the contractors and the furnishing partners.
- Documentation. Photographs and reports at the agreed intervals, with tracking of open points and deadlines.
- Specialist inspections. We arrange for independent experts to be brought in where necessary.
- Handover of the property. We prepare the acceptance and the handover of keys.
Buying off-plan: what you need to know
The off-plan sale (VEFA) is governed by Law 44-00, as amended by Law 107-12, which provides in particular for a preliminary contract, payments staged according to the progress of the works, and guarantees. How these protections are applied varies from one developer to another: each contract must be examined by a notary.
The limits of the service
DACHMA Advisory does not itself carry out the works, the project management of the works or the technical inspections: we coordinate developers, architects, contractors and experts. The compliance of the works is the responsibility of those professionals. We cannot guarantee that third parties will keep to deadlines. DACHMA Advisory acts as adviser, intermediary and coordinator. We do not provide legal, tax, notarial, financing, architectural or engineering services: these are carried out, under their own responsibility, by independent, duly authorised professionals whom you instruct.
