Hotel Construction and Modernisation Services, Under One Roof
Owners, operators and asset managers of 5-star resorts, branded hotels and premium boutiques need more than a builder: they need one partner for the new wing and the kitchen upgrade, the chiller plant and the brand conversion, the facade after a hurricane and the staff housing behind the resort. This is the full list of what we deliver for hotels in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Costa Mujeres, Cozumel and the rest of Quintana Roo.
What We Do for Hotels
New Hotels & Expansions
Hotels of every class, new wings, villas and amenities.
Renovation & Brand Conversion
Guestroom programmes, public areas, PIPs and repositioning.
MEP & Energy
Chillers, VRF, hot water, BMS, solar and efficiency retrofits.
Back-of-House
Kitchens, laundries, stores, staff areas and staff housing.
Safety & Resilience
Fire and life safety, accessibility, facades and hurricane hardening.
Maintenance & Recovery
Preventive maintenance contracts and post-hurricane recovery.
How we work with hotel owners
We start from the operator’s standards and the owner’s numbers: cost per key, downtime and return. Each project gets one project director, a phasing plan agreed with operations, and weekly reports that owners, asset managers and lenders can use. We build in our own steel and carpentry workshops in Playa del Carmen, so mock-up rooms, millwork and structures are ready when the programme needs them.
