What We Do for Hotels
New Hotels & Expansions
Hotels of every class, new wings, villas and amenities.
MEP & Energy
Chillers, VRF, hot water, BMS, solar and efficiency retrofits.
Safety & Resilience
Fire and life safety, accessibility, facades and hurricane hardening.
Permits and rules on Cozumel
Cozumel municipality, the reef national park and port authorities all play a role; west-coast sites need federal-zone concessions and environmental clearance. We map these approvals at the start of every hotel project, so design, procurement and works move in parallel.
When to build on Cozumel
Cruise and dive seasons keep hotels busy most of the year; September and October are the usual windows for closures. We build the phasing plan around that calendar, so revenue keeps coming in while the works advance.
Logistics on Cozumel
Everything arrives by car ferry from Punta Venado or Calica, which adds cost and lead time, so we pre-fabricate in Playa del Carmen and ship complete loads.
