Building your home in the Riviera Maya doesn't mean paying it all at once. We work with progress payments, flexible schemes and guide you on credit and options for foreigners — with a fixed-price contract and a clear schedule. Here's how paying for a build with Recrea works. 18+ years and 196 projects.
A payment schedule tied to real milestones (foundation, structure, finishes) — pay as it progresses.
We never ask for more than a 15% deposit — the rest is released against verified progress.
We guide you on mortgage/construction credit with banks and Infonavit where applicable.
Build via a bank trust or company; we explain payment methods from abroad (wire, escrow).
Fixed line-item budget with payment schedule and delay penalty — no surprises.
Each payment against documented progress with photo and video — your money tied to real work.
The most common worry when building is how to pay for it. The good news: you don't pay all at once. A serious builder works with progress payments — a low deposit (max 15%) and the rest released against verified milestones (foundation, structure, systems, finishes). That keeps your money always tied to real work. For those who need credit, construction-loan options exist with banks and, in some cases, Infonavit; we guide you by situation. Foreigners build via a bank trust or company and usually pay by wire or escrow. All with a fixed-price contract and clear schedule — you know exactly what you pay and when.
| Stage | % of total | When |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit (contract signing) | 10–15% | Start |
| Foundation and structure | 30–35% | By progress |

| Finishes and handover | 20–25% | Final |

"We worried about paying for a build remotely. Recrea gave us a progress-payment schedule, each with a photo report. Total peace of mind."
