Preliminary Improvement Agreements
Explanation:
Surprisingly, the first two answers offered did not translated the word "principio," which here seems to refer to the fact that the agreements represent some sort of initial, or preliminary, step.

Suerte.

yes, obviously these are agreement for renovation and beautification but they are not regular in nature because the term "mejora" implies that they are for 'improving', which in this
case would be 'renovation' and/or 'beautification'
