Services · 10 disciplines

Everything between a lot and a finished house.

We work as a single contract across design, permitting and construction, or as a specialist on one piece of a project someone else is running. Every service below is delivered under CFIA registration and to Código Sísmico standard — that part is not variable.

  1. 01

    General Contracting & Project Management

    Cost control · Schedule · Site supervision

    Someone has to own the schedule, the subcontractors and the number at the bottom of the page. That is this service.

  2. 02

    Architecture & Permitting

    CFIA visado · Municipal permits · SETENA

    The drawings are the easy half. Getting them stamped, filed and approved is the half that decides your start date.

  3. 03

    Sustainable & Net-Zero Design

    Passive cooling · Solar · Water capture

    In this climate, net zero starts with a roof overhang, not a solar panel.

  4. 04

    Custom Woodworking & Millwork

    Kiln-dried · Termite-treated · Shop-built

    Tropical hardwood is the most beautiful material on a Costa Rican job site and the least forgiving of shortcuts.

  5. 05

    Low-Cost Home Design

    Efficient spans · Repeatable details · Honest m² costs

    Cheap and inexpensive are different things. One of them still has to pass a seismic inspection.

  6. 06

    Luxury Home Construction

    View estates · Infinity pools · Indoor-outdoor

    The hard part of a Costa Rican luxury home is not the finish level. It is the site.

  7. 07

    Bathroom Remodeling

    Waterproofing · Ventilation · Stone & millwork

    In a tropical climate, a bathroom remodel is a waterproofing project with tile on top.

  8. 08

    Kitchen Remodeling

    Cabinetry · Stone · Indoor-outdoor

    A kitchen here usually opens onto a terrace. That single fact changes almost every specification in it.

  9. 09

    Gates & Fences

    Automation · Perimeter · Access control

    The gate is the first thing a guest sees and the first thing an intruder assesses. It should perform on both counts.

  10. 10

    3D Design & Rendering

    Site-accurate views · Sun studies · Walkthroughs

    Every change is cheap in a render and expensive in concrete.

Engagement

How working with us actually works.

Can I hire you for one service instead of the whole build?

Yes. Architecture and permitting, 3D rendering, remodeling and gate work are all available standalone. The advantage of bundling design and construction is that the drawing set gets built by the people who have to price and execute it, which removes most of the ambiguity that generates change orders.

Do you work with clients who are not in Costa Rica?

Most of ours are not. We run projects for remote owners with weekly photo and cost reporting, rendered decisions instead of on-site ones, and a bilingual point of contact who is physically on the job. Visualization and reporting exist precisely so distance is not a disadvantage.

Which service should I start with?

If you own the lot, start with architecture and permitting — the uso de suelo and slope conditions determine what is buildable before anything else matters. If you have not bought yet, start with a feasibility read on the lot you are considering. It is the cheapest hour you will spend on the project.

Scoping

Not sure which service you need?

Describe the project in a sentence or two and we will tell you where it should start — and whether it needs us at all. Some questions get answered in one call.
