We understand that building abroad raises plenty of good questions. Below you’ll find clear, honest answers based on 40 years of combined experience. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions and feel completely at ease throughout your project.
Most custom homes take about 8–14 months from final design approval to handover, depending on size, location, and finishes. Because we manage architecture, engineering, and construction in-house, schedules stay predictable and transparent.
A quality custom home typically ranges from about US $150–$250 per sq ft. Final cost depends on the terrain, design complexity, access, and material selections. We provide detailed, line-item budgets so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our engineers and partners can review topography, drainage, access, zoning, and utilities before you commit to a property. Many clients save time and money by confirming feasibility before they buy.
Not necessarily. Most of our international clients remain in the U.S. or Canada while we build. You’ll receive weekly reports, photos, videos, and direct communication so you always know what’s happening onsite.
Our team handles architectural, structural, mechanical, and environmental submissions with the local municipalities. We coordinate all inspections and compliance so the process stays smooth and stress-free for you.
We typically recommend reinforced concrete, treated steel, and high-quality finishes designed to resist humidity, salt, and sun. Each home is engineered for longevity, efficiency, and low maintenance in Costa Rica’s climate.
