Your Costa Rica home, built and kept by one team.

The most reliable general contractors in Costa Rica are registered with the CFIA, work from a written fixed-scope contract, and communicate clearly in your language. Ask for the CFIA registration, ask for a detailed written quote, and watch how they answer. We are CFIA-registered and English-first, and we put the full scope in writing before you commit a cent.

Yes. You can build without speaking Spanish or living in the country, as long as your contractor communicates in English and gives you real remote oversight. Most of our clients are absentee owners. Every quote, contract, and update happens in clear English, and you get photo reports plus a project manager you can reach in any time zone.

Quality custom homes on the coast generally run about $650 to $1,000+ per square meter, depending mostly on finish level and site conditions. A flat, accessible lot with mid-range finishes sits at the bottom of the range; an architectural build on a steep beachfront lot sits at the top. Every quote we send breaks the number down so you compare real scope.

Turnkey means one company handles the whole process (design, engineering, permits, construction, and finishes) so you show up to a finished home. That covers earthwork, structural engineering, CFIA permits, foundations, electromechanical systems, finishes, and often the pool and landscaping. You approve one design and one budget up front.

Yes. Nearly all construction and significant remodeling in Costa Rica legally requires CFIA registration and municipal permits. Building without them can cause real problems at resale. We handle the entire permitting process as part of the project, so your build is fully legal and clean on paper from day one.

Hire a CFIA-registered contractor, never pay a large deposit against a vague quote, and tie every payment to a completed milestone in a written contract. Watch for red flags: no registration to show you, a round lump-sum with no breakdown, and reluctance to put changes in writing. If a contractor gets cagey about any of that, walk away.

A custom home typically takes around [X to Y months] from permit approval to handover, plus lead time for design and permitting. Finish complexity, site access, and the rainy season are the main variables, and earthwork is slower in the wettest months. We give you a realistic date in the quote rather than a promise we cannot keep.

The best protection for an absentee home is a scheduled preventive maintenance plan that stays ahead of salt air, humidity, and sun. Our plans cover anti-corrosion protection, roof sealing before and after the green season, A/C and pump servicing, wood treatment, and inspections with photo reports sent straight to you. Small fixes on a schedule instead of one expensive failure.

It is usually worth it when you focus on upgrades that raise occupancy and nightly rate: durable, guest-proof finishes, extra sleeping capacity, reliable A/C and Wi-Fi, and standout outdoor space that becomes your listing's hero shot. We tell you honestly which changes pay for themselves in bookings and which will not, so your budget goes where the return is.

We work nationwide from a hub in Huacas, Guanacaste, with fastest access to the Gold Coast: Tamarindo, Flamingo, Las Catalinas, Reserva Conchal, and Playa Grande. Being based in Huacas means we source materials and deploy crews quickly instead of paying beachfront overhead. Beyond Guanacaste, we build across the Central Valley, Pacific, and Caribbean.
