Various construction and restoration projects are underway across different regions of Spain. In coastal areas, the Alovera Beach urban complex has commenced construction in Málaga following a nine-year administrative process, with an expected completion in early 2028. Additionally, a restoration project has been commissioned for Arraijanal beach to recover dune systems and combat annual coastline erosion.

In urban settings, demolition is scheduled for the Escalinata building in Algeciras, a structure that has been abandoned since residents were evacuated in 2003. Meanwhile, rehabilitation works are being conducted in Cáceres to repair residential units and replace roofing at a property on Pintores Street.
