What We Install

Home Lifts

Compact screw-driven or platform lifts that need a shallow pit and little headroom, ideal for existing villas.

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.

Lifts for villas and penthouses in Tulum

Licences come from Tulum municipality, and many projects also need SEMA approval for exterior and landscape works; condo developments add HOA rules and approved work hours. 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 Tulum

Tulum is about one hour from our workshops; we keep crews on site for full days and source plants and many materials locally to save trips. Shaft, power feed and emergency battery are coordinated with the building permit, and maintenance visits are scheduled from day one.

Water and utilities in Tulum

Many areas still lack reliable municipal supply and use wells, pipes and cisterns, with hard water that scales fittings, so filtration and storage are part of most projects.

Rentals and scheduling in Tulum

Tulum is rental-driven, so owners want work done between bookings and finishes that survive heavy guest use.

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.
