WHAT A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT COVERS
What Bernal coordinates on your build
01 - REQUIRED ON ALL SITES
Structural engineering coordination
Every residential project on this coast requires a structural engineer licensed in Jalisco or Nayarit. We coordinate foundations, slabs, columns, and roof systems — plus retaining walls and soil anchoring for hillside sites. We brief, review, and pay the structural engineer directly. Billed at cost with receipts. You don't manage that relationship.
04
Tropical construction methods
Humidity resistance, salt-air exposure resistance, UV-rated waterproofing, seismically appropriate reinforcement, drainage designed for Pacific rainy-season volumes. These are not upsells. They are the difference between a property that holds its value and one that starts showing problems in year three. We specify and enforce them on every project.
02 - AIR
Specialist subcontractor management
Concrete crews, waterproofing applicators, MEP installers, tile setters, carpentry workshops, finishing trades. Each is hired and sequenced precisely — delays happen when trades are scheduled without accounting for the phase before them. We work with the same subcontractors across projects because consistent relationships produce consistent quality.
05 - PRIVACY
Land survey and topographic services
Puerto Vallarta's vertical development market is active. Structural systems, fire separation, shared services, and municipal inspection requirements all change for multi-unit projects. We take boutique condominiums, small apartment buildings, and mixed-use developments through the full construction phase: one team, one contract, itemized budget.
03 - VIEWS
Materials procurement & logistics
Materials on the Pacific Coast arrive through a specific supply chain — Guadalajara for structural and finish materials, local yards for aggregates, and, in some cases, imported, requiring customs coordination. We source, price, and schedule all materials. Every purchase appears in your client portal before it is made.
06 - THE THRESHOLD
Land survey & topographic services
Before construction begins, the site needs to be precisely documented: boundaries confirmed, existing grades recorded, utilities located, and buildable area mapped against the COS and CUS figures from the permit.
We coordinate topographic surveys and boundary certifications with licensed surveyors as part of pre-construction.
SITE REALITY
How we run a construction site in Puerto Vallarta
Construction here does not run like a project in the US. Concrete pours are scheduled around heat. Rainy season affects exterior work from June to October. Municipal inspections have their own pace. Our site management accounts for all of it.
Resident engineer on site daily
A dedicated site engineer is present during all active construction phases — not a weekly check-in, daily. Every detail is compared against the approved drawings in real time. Issues that could cost money to reverse are caught before they become problems.
Weekly reports, every Friday
Photo and video documentation of the week's progress is uploaded to your client portal every Friday. If you are building from the US or Canada, you see the site as if you were standing on it. Nothing is filtered or summarized — you see what we see.
Live, itemised budget tracker
Your client portal shows a live line-by-line breakdown of every contractor payment, every materials purchase, and every engineering fee as it happens. You are never waiting for a monthly invoice to understand where your money went. Any issue that affects the budget is flagged in writing within 24 hours of being identified.
Written approval on every purchase
Nothing is bought and nothing is changed without your written approval in the portal. A change is always a decision, never a surprise on a bill. This applies to materials substitutions, scope adjustments, and any unexpected site conditions that require a response.
