Aqui a tua Remodelação aims to bring architects into renovation projects in 2027

Aqui a tua Remodelação aims to provide support from an architect on renovation projects in 2027. The goal comes as the brand expands in Portugal, where it has more than 60 franchises across physical and digital formats, according to a report published by idealista on 31 October 2026.

Making architectural advice more accessible

The plan to involve an architect in projects signals an intended expansion of the advice available to customers. It is a target for the coming year, rather than a service described as already available throughout the network.

In a statement quoted by idealista, Paulo Neto Leite, CEO of Aqui a tua Remodelação in Portugal, says the brand wants to ‘help democratise access to architecture and specialist advice, making them more accessible to people looking to renovate their homes’.

He places this goal in the context of housing market challenges which, in his words, ‘require us to look at existing homes too, and at how we can improve the quality of life of those who live in them’.

The proposal therefore puts improvements to existing homes at the heart of the business. For customers, the key point to watch will be the delivery of this goal: the announcement sets out an intention to provide architectural support, without presenting it as a current feature of every project.

A network spanning physical and digital formats

The brand’s expansion is based on two business models. At physical outlets, customers can view materials, explore solutions and receive personalised advice for their projects. The digital format allows franchisees to run the business without commercial premises.

This distinction matters when assessing the stated size of the network. The total of more than 60 franchises includes both formats, so it does not refer solely to physical outlets open to the public.

The brand’s first outlet opened in January 2025 at the Colombo Shopping Centre in Lisbon. Since then, its growth strategy has focused on geographical expansion and bringing in new partners interested in building a renovation business.

For prospective franchisees, the availability of both formats is an important aspect of the offer. Choosing between a physical outlet and a digital operation means assessing different ways of running the business, starting with whether to have commercial premises where customers can visit and view materials.

Miraflores strengthens the Greater Lisbon presence

The opening of an outlet in Miraflores is the latest development announced by the brand. The location strengthens its presence in Greater Lisbon, where it also has outlets in Lisbon itself, Almada, Oeiras, Mem Martins and Charneca da Caparica.

The new outlet forms part of the network’s in-person offering, allowing customers to explore the materials and solutions available for transforming their homes. The opening thus supports a strategy that combines a local physical presence with a digital business model.

The Portuguese operation is part of the AQUI group, founded in Spain in 2019 and now present in eight countries. This international footprint provides context for the wider group and should be distinguished from the franchise numbers and locations reported for Portugal.

Project management and next steps

According to the information released, the company handles all project management, from planning through to delivery. This responsibility includes coordinating the different stages of the work and the professionals involved.

The goal of providing architect support in 2027 builds on this management structure. The announcement therefore covers two distinct elements: coordination of the work, presented as part of the current operation, and enhanced specialist support, set as a target for the coming year.

For anyone considering joining the network, the practical takeaway is to distinguish between the physical and digital models and confirm which services are already available. Customers planning a renovation should clarify the scope of the technical support included in their specific proposal, rather than treating a target announced for 2027 as a service already guaranteed.
