What We Install

Residential Elevators

Hydraulic or machine-room-less traction elevators for larger villas and private towers.

Glass Panoramic Shafts

Steel and laminated glass shafts that become an architectural feature.

Shaft & Pit Construction

Concrete or block shafts, waterproofed pits and lifting beams built to the supplier's drawings.

Lifts for villas and penthouses in Playa del Carmen

Licences come from Solidaridad municipality with DRO-signed drawings; Playacar and other gated communities add their own architectural review, and beachfront works need a ZOFEMAT concession. 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 Playa del Carmen

Our workshops are in Playa del Carmen, so crews, steel, glass and equipment reach the site the same day. Shaft, power feed and emergency battery are coordinated with the building permit, and maintenance visits are scheduled from day one.

Rentals and scheduling in Playa del Carmen

A large share of premium units are vacation rentals, so works are phased between bookings and amenities are designed to stand out in listings.

Climate and exposure in Playa del Carmen

Beachfront towers in the north take salt spray and wind while inland neighbourhoods are hot and humid, so equipment rooms, glass and metal are specified for the coast.

Reference ranges in Playa del Carmen: Home lift 2–3 stops (Screw-driven or platform): $468,000–$884,000; Residential elevator 2–4 stops (Hydraulic or MRL traction): $676,000–$1,352,000; Shaft construction (Concrete or block, pit, beam): $124,800–$312,000; Glass panoramic shaft (Steel + laminated glass, extra): $260,000–$728,000.

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.
