We handle construction permits in Corasol end to end at the Solidaridad planning department, after design-committee approval: land use, licence, DRO and utilities. Here the file also carries a ruling from the development committee. You never queue at a counter; we hand over the signed file.
We check density, land use and lot restrictions in Corasol before designing: in Solidaridad the certificate is issued per lot and is the first real filter.
We file and follow the license with the municipality through to the final resolution.
A DRO with an active license signs and is legally responsible for the build and code compliance.
In Corasol no state or federal environmental authority is involved inland: the file is municipal, which is why it starts sooner than on the coast.
Civil Protection sign-off, CFE and water feasibility, plus the ruling from the development committee or management, which in Corasol is required before the municipality.
We hand you the full ordered file: stamped plans, licenses, DRO and authorizations.
In Corasol the real filter is the development's design committee. Golf-course setbacks, maximum height, facade palette and even exterior lighting are ruled on before the file reaches the Solidaridad planning department, and the municipality asks for that sign-off as part of the package.
The schedule breaks when an owner commissions the full construction drawings before the committee has ruled. Any change to massing forces structural and services drawings to be redone, and that is measured in weeks.

There is no single procedure for the Riviera Maya. In Corasol the competent authority is the Solidaridad municipality, the environmental regime is municipal only, and that decides which documents enter the file and in what order.
The ground works in your favour: compact limestone and a deep water table allow conventional foundations and absorption-well drainage where the study confirms it. The complexity here is regulatory, not geotechnical.
The ground is compact limestone and the water table is deep, which weighs on the soil study that accompanies the licence application. Access is gated access and the development regime is design committee and golf course.
With a complete, well-assembled file, count on 4 to 10 weeks: the whole file is municipal, with no environmental authority in between.
We take the preliminary design to the committee, settle facade and setbacks against their criteria, and only then develop the construction set that goes to the municipality. It is slower in week one and far faster by month three.
What decides a project here: Golf-course setbacks and facade palette are reviewed before the municipal file is opened.

The development design committee's approval. Golf-course setbacks, maximum height, facade palette and even the type of exterior light fitting are ruled on there, and the Solidaridad planning department asks for that document inside the package. Geotechnically the ground complicates nothing: compact limestone, deep water table, conventional foundations. All the complexity is regulatory and all of it sits at one private counter, so resolving it first turns the rest of the file into a short, predictable process.
Both are Solidaridad communities with a design committee, but the criteria differ. Playacar is governed by phase, with different rules in I and II, and its mature trees drive the building position to the point of moving the house within the plot. Corasol works from a newer development, with golf-course setbacks and a facade palette defined in advance. In Playacar the constraint is usually the tree; in Corasol, the fairway line. In practice that means the committee ruling here can be obtained from drawings alone, without a vegetation survey of the lot, which shortens the front end of the file by two to three weeks compared with Playacar.
