What We Install

Glass Panoramic Shafts

Steel and laminated glass shafts that become an architectural feature.

Retrofit in Existing Homes

Openings in slabs, structural reinforcement and finishes for adding a lift to a finished villa.

Maintenance & Backup

Maintenance contracts, battery rescue for power cuts and stainless finishes for salt air.

Lifts for villas and penthouses in Akumal

Akumal belongs to Tulum municipality; the bay and beach are under ZOFEMAT and turtle-nesting protection, so exterior lighting, beach landscaping and work near the sand follow strict rules. We work with screw-driven, hydraulic and machine-room-less systems and choose the one that fits the house, the stops and the budget.

Shafts, power and maintenance in Akumal

Akumal is about 35 minutes from our workshops; access to condos in the bays is tight, so we plan deliveries and debris removal with building administrations. Shaft, power feed and emergency battery are coordinated with the building permit, and maintenance visits are scheduled from day one.

Water and utilities in Akumal

Water is hard and some areas rely on wells or cisterns, so softeners, filters and low-flow fittings are typical in every bathroom remodel.

Climate and exposure in Akumal

Front-row homes face open sea and constant spray, while the jungle side is humid and shaded, so the right paint, metal and plant choices change from one side of the highway to the other.

On the Riviera Maya in 2026 a home lift for 2–3 stops costs about $450,000–$850,000 MXN and a hydraulic or traction residential elevator $650,000–$1,300,000 MXN, plus $120,000–$300,000 MXN if a new shaft must be built.

Usually yes. Screw-driven and platform lifts need only a shallow pit and little headroom; we open the slabs, reinforce the structure and finish the shaft. A structural check comes first.
