We have a strong understanding of local building codes, materials, and construction practices, and we have established relationships with reliable local suppliers and subcontractors.
-
What is the process for working with your studio on a design-build project?Our process typically involves an initial consultation to understand your vision and needs, followed by a design phase with iterative feedback, permit acquisition, and finally, the construction phase managed by our experienced team. We maintain open communication and provide regular updates throughout the entire project.
-

We work with skilled and trusted tradespeople, utilize quality materials, and implement rigorous quality control measures throughout the building process. Our project managers closely oversee all aspects of construction to ensure adherence to the design specifications and building standards.

What are the key legal considerations when building a house in Mexico, especially for foreigners?Building in Mexico involves understanding local regulations, including land ownership (especially within restricted zones near coastlines and borders), obtaining necessary permits (like the licencia de construcción), and understanding property taxes. For foreigners, it's crucial to be aware of the fideicomiso (bank trust) system for owning property in restricted zones and to engage with reputable legal counsel to ensure all transactions and permits are handled correctly.
-
What are some common construction methods and materials used in Mexico, and are there any region-specific considerations (like in Puerto Vallarta)?Common construction methods include concrete block (block de cemento) and poured concrete structures, which are well-suited for the climate. In coastal regions like Puerto Vallarta, it's crucial to consider factors like humidity, salt air, and potential seismic activity when selecting materials and construction techniques. Using corrosion-resistant materials and adhering to local building codes designed for these conditions is vital.
-
How does the cost of building in Mexico compare to other countries, and what are the typical expenses involved?The cost of building in Mexico can often be lower than in countries like the US or Canada, particularly regarding labor. However, material costs can fluctuate and may sometimes be comparable. Typical expenses include land acquisition (if applicable), architectural design fees, permit costs, material costs (cement, steel, etc.), labor costs, and potential infrastructure connections (water, electricity). It's essential to get detailed quotes and factor in potential unforeseen expenses.
-
What is the typical timeline for designing and building a house in Mexico?The timeline can vary significantly depending on the complexity and size of the project, as well as the efficiency of the permitting process. A rough estimate could range from 6 months for a smaller, simpler home to a year for a larger, more intricate design. Obtaining permits can sometimes be a time-consuming step. Having a well-organized plan and an experienced contractor can help manage the timeline effectively.
