Who am I and why does Bricoplan exist?
Hello, I am Josep Soler, creator of Bricoplan and passionate about DIY, renovations and improving real lived-in spaces.
Bricoplan was born from a very simple idea:
đ to help people improve their homes with confidence, sound judgment, and common sense, without unnecessary complications and without empty promises.
Here you won't find miracle tricks or empty promises.
You will find real experienceexplained in a clear and approachable way.
My background: technical experience, practical vision
My professional path has allowed me to combine three key worlds: the technique, the management and the real home.
đ ī¸ DIY and renovations (direct experience)
During my time as Renovation Project Consultant at Leroy Merlin (Cabrera de Mar):
- I tested tools and materials firsthand
- I advised on real projects, not theoretical ones.
- I learned what worksâĻ and what doesn't.
This is the basis of all my recommendations at Bricoplan.
đĄ Housing and actual use of spaces
As Real estate agent at Century 21, specializing in Barcelona, ââMaresme and VallèsI understood something key:
A good space is not just beautiful, it is functional, comfortable and consistent with the person who lives in it.
That approach is present in every guide and every piece of advice.
đ§ Management, method and clarity
Before Bricoplan I went to:
- Project Manager IT y Vendor Manager en Deutsche Bank
- Project Manager at Atos Originleading teams of more than 200 people
This gave me something I apply every day:
âī¸ method
âī¸ structure
âī¸ Focus on results
That's why everything is explained at Bricoplan step by step and without noise.
Laura and the soul of Bricoplan
Bricoplan is also a family project.
My wife Laura It is a fundamental emotional pillar and provides:
