THE PROBLEM
A development's margin is won or lost at the design table
Cost overruns rarely come from one expensive mistake — they come from dozens of smaller ones: unbudgeted scope changes, RFIs that stall the schedule, last-minute value engineering that cheapens the product, and built area that never quite becomes sellable area. When the architect and the builder are two different firms, that gap is paid for by your investment. We close it by design.
SERVICES & PROCESS
From lot to handover: one team, five phases
01
Feasibility & Site Analysis
"I have a lot. What can I actually build here?"
We analyze land use, density, and sellable-area potential before you commit to a design — so your pro forma is grounded before a single drawing is made.
YOU RECEIVE
A site-potential study: sellable m² vs. built m², and whether your pro forma holds.
YOU APPROVE
Numbers that makes sense before design starts.
02
Design, Brand & Interiors
"How do I get from a concept to a product that sells?"
Concept, masterplan, and full construction documents for condominiums, villas, and mixed-use, coordinated with structural, electrical, and hydraulic engineering. Brand identity, interior design, and FF&E are developed alongside the architecture, as we did at Victoria, so the product reaches presale with a single story.
YOU RECEIVE
Construction documents, brand identity, and interior design with presale-ready renderings.
YOU APPROVE
The design, the product mix, and the base budget.
03
Permits & Regulatory Management
"How do I keep permits from delaying my schedule and inflating my carrying costs?"
We manage the real permitting sequence in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit: land-use analysis, Urban Compatibility Certificate, topographic survey and soil mechanics, ZOFEMAT federal-zone registration and MIA through SEMARNAT on coastal sites, DRO sign-off, and the Construction License.
YOU RECEIVE
Construction License.
YOU APPROVE
3–6 months · up to 12 months when the site needs coastal MIA
04
Design-Build Construction
"How do I make sure what gets built is what I approved?"
The same team that designs it builds it, with live cost tracking through your client portal, bilingual reporting, and a single point of accountability to you and your partners.
YOU RECEIVE
Construction with live progress and budget in your client portal.
YOU APPROVE
Every purchase and every change, in your portal with written approvals.
05
Handover & Launch
"How do I hand over units that are ready to sell and operate?"
Final walkthrough, snag list, and interiors and FF&E in place, plus post-handover support as units pass to owners or operators.
YOU RECEIVE
Finished units with interiors and FF&E ready to operate.
YOU APPROVE
The final walkthrough and snag list.

FEATURED PROJECT
Victoria Coastal Living
Client: GVCM International Corporation · In presale · Delivery expected November 2027
For GVCM International Corporation, we designed Victoria Coastal Living end-to-end: brand identity, architecture, interior design, and FF&E, on one of the last available near-beach lots in the heart of Punta Mita.
The brief started with the site, not a rendering. We evaluated the lot and designed a three-tier product mix that broadens the buyer pool for a boutique building of just 10 residences across 6 levels.
TOWN HOUSE
1 BD · 2 BA · 79.85 m² total
HORIZON RESIDENCES
2 BD · 2 BA · 113.05 m² total
SKY RESIDENCES
3 BD · 3 BA · 221.75 m² total · Signature Penthouse
Every design decision was made to sell: ocean views built into daily life — from the shower, the living room, and the bedrooms — generous terraces on every unit, and a rooftop Sky Club with an infinity pool. And because a development also sells on its story, we created Victoria's full brand identity — name, mark, and palette — so the product entered the market with a coherent, premium story from day one.
