What to verify

  • Athens-based; confirm Paros site-supervision capacity and local contractor network.
  • The Village is render-led and Paros Engraving does not explicitly state completion status.
  • Likely higher fee/longer process than a small local practice.

Questions To Ask

  • Request three built Paros villa references with plans, budgets, and site-supervision scope.
  • Ask whether they can calibrate design ambition to a permit-safe developer-led product in the specific site.
  • 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?
