We demolish selectively in Bacalar: interior strip-outs, concrete cutting and total demolitions, with structural review first and legal debris disposal. Licences come from Bacalar municipality, and the lagoon shore is protected, so works near the water, landscaping and wastewater must respect environmental rules.
Loading and hauling to authorised disposal sites, with receipts for the authorities.
Separation of metal, wood and reusable items; crushed concrete reused as fill where allowed.
Demolition licence, structural review, shoring and neighbour protection.
Bacalar is about three and a half hours from our workshops; we plan stays on site and buy many materials in Chetumal, which keeps costs close to the southern average. We process these approvals before any hammer starts, so neighbours and administrations have no reason to stop the job.
Bacalar has lagoon-front houses, boutique hotels and eco-cabins along the Laguna de los Siete Colores, plus village homes in town, with demand for bathrooms, decks, gardens and maintenance. Trucks, loading and disposal sites are planned around this access, and debris leaves the site daily.
Tourism peaks on holidays and weekends, so hotels schedule works in quieter weeks.
Water is from the municipal system or wells, and wastewater must never reach the lagoon, which affects every bathroom and kitchen project.
There is no sea salt, but the lagoon keeps humidity high and the sun is strong, so wood, decks and paint need UV and moisture protection.
