Additional verified data
Construction contractor license
The developer's own license was not found in any of the six official PDF catalogs of the Cyprus Council for Registration and Control of Building Contractors (contractorscouncil.org.cy): in addition to the 'Larnaca-Οικοδομικά' catalog already checked by the requester, 'Larnaca-Τεχνικά', 'Nicosia-Οικοδομικά', 'Nicosia-Τεχνικά', 'Limassol-Οικοδομικά', and 'Limassol-Τεχνικά' were checked (all files dated July 2026, text extracted via pdftotext -layout). A search for 'V.K.C.', 'QUALITY', 'KAKOS', 'VARBEDIAN', 'CHRISTODOULOU' produced no matches with the developer's known legal entities; the only lines containing the word 'Quality' relate to similarly named but unrelated companies (A.C. Quality Constructions Ltd and V. Nikolaou Quality Constructions in the Nicosia-Οικοδομικά list; G.S. Quality Constructions Ltd and Qualitycrete Limited in the Limassol-Οικοδομικά list). Since the developer itself has no license, a specific third-party general contractor was found and confirmed by independent sources: Quality Group's flagship project 'Radisson Beach Resort Larnaca' was built by N. Psaras Constructions Co Ltd (architectural concept by FLUID Architecture), confirmed by the award page livawards.com and the profile catalog thecyprus.net. This corresponds to the 15-point tier — 'a named third-party general contractor, independently disclosed and confirmed by sources'.
- Contractors Council – Larnaca Technical (Τεχνικά) catalog, checked for V.K.C./QUALITY/KAKOS/VARBEDIAN/CHRISTODOULOU – no match
- Contractors Council – Nicosia Building (Οικοδομικά) catalog – no match (only unrelated namesakes A.C. Quality Constructions Ltd, V. Nikolaou Quality Constructions)
- Contractors Council – Nicosia Technical (Τεχνικά) catalog – no match
- Contractors Council – Limassol Building (Οικοδομικά) catalog – no match (only unrelated namesakes G.S. Quality Constructions Ltd, Qualitycrete Limited)
- Contractors Council – Limassol Technical (Τεχνικά) catalog – no match
- LIV Awards – Radisson Beach Resort Larnaca winner page naming N. Psaras Constructions Co Ltd as builder
- TheCyprus.net directory listing corroborating N. Psaras Constructions Co Ltd as contractor / FLUID Architecture as lead designer for the Radisson Beach Resort Larnaca (Quality Group project)
Legal entity
In all four known legal entities (V.K.C.A. Quality Limited HE128205, V.K.C. Quality Estates Limited HE135229, V.K.C. Quality Management Services Limited HE146384, Savvas Kakos & Associates Limited HE149442), the same triumvirate of real individuals is registered in the registry — Savvas Kakos, Markos Christodoulou, and Haig A. Varbedian — with no nominee/corporate directors identified. Savvas Kakos is publicly presented by the company itself as founder, president, and CEO of Quality Group (the company's own press releases on qualitygroupcyprus.com, a Crunchbase profile, Cyprus Mail court reporting), which gives grounds to award real_directors the maximum — 10 points, although the two other co-directors (Christodoulou and Varbedian) are not named at all on the company's own website — Christodoulou was found only via a third-party biographical profile from an industry conference, not via the company's own materials. The group's structure is NOT explained by the company: the website describes four business 'pillars' (Property Development, Hospitality, Education, Medical) — a marketing rather than a legal division; it is never stated that these specific 4 legal entities (including the separately, formally independent company 'Savvas Kakos & Associates Limited') are operating 'subsidiaries' of the group — the link is established only via the registry (an identical registered address, Konstantinou Paleologou 41, Larnaca, and an identical set of the same 3 directors in all 4 companies); therefore structure_explained = 5 ('verifiable only via the registry', not 'explained by the company'). Completeness of disclosure is also limited: a cross-check via the registry revealed a number of additional affiliated 'V.K.C./Quality' structures (V.K.C. Quality Investments Limited HE44684, V.K.C. Quality Developments Limited HE130103, V.&K. Quality Properties Limited HE129269, etc.), and an aggregator lists Kakos as affiliated with ~294 companies and Christodoulou with ~70, which makes an exhaustive picture practically unattainable without a paid registry report; no offshore/foreign layer was found — completeness = 5. Total for Factor 2: 20 out of 30.

Town planning permits
Neither on Quality Group's own pages for current projects (QN Kition, Q Trio Residences, QCC2 Downtown — both on qualitygroupcyprus.com and on aggregators dom.com.cy/aparthotel.com), nor in the website's news section, nor in the press found, was a specific building-permit number, third-party institutional documentation (town-planning department, environmental review), or even a general marketing statement such as 'all permits obtained' found. Separately clarified: press mentions of city permits linked to the word 'Kition' relate to 'Kition Ocean Holdings' — an unrelated international consortium managing the Larnaca port and marina — not to the QN Kition tower of developer Quality Group; the name coincidence should not be misleading. Bottom line: 0 points, no applicable sources.
