House Construction Process Step by Step

The construction process is the same one we run across the Riviera Maya: lot review, concept design, construction documents, permits, foundation, shell, services and finishes, then turnkey handover. See the full process with per-stage timings.

Permits and Building Rules in Ciudad Mayakoba

In Solidaridad the process starts with the land-use certificate and the current PDU: it sets how many storeys and what building density your lot allows. The building licence requires drawings signed by a DRO registered with the municipality, a structural report and services plans. If the lot borders mangrove, dune or a cenote, a state environmental permit is added.

The lot: what decides your foundation

The ground is limestone karst: good bearing capacity, but with hidden cavities and cenotes. That is why we start with a soil-mechanics study — it decides between strip footings, a mat foundation or piles, and prevents the classic overrun of discovering a void once the build is underway.

Ciudad Mayakoba is the urban master plan next to Mayakoba: residential lots, a country club and a golf course signed by Sergio García, with design guidelines and protected green areas inside the development itself. You build under the master-plan code plus the Solidaridad municipal licence, and the finish standard the area expects puts it clearly above the Playa del Carmen average. It should not be confused with two neighbours: Mayakoba is the resort and private residence complex, and Corasol is the golf community with its own beach club. Ciudad Mayakoba is an urban master plan — single-family, multi-family and mixed-use lots around a country club — which is why it allows programmes the other two cannot host.

The character of the place

Ciudad Mayakoba is the urban development accompanying the resort complex, west of the highway: new blocks, buried services and an image code aimed at coherence between condominiums, retail and single-family housing. The ground is firm and flat, without the lagoon constraints of the Mayakoba resort itself, so the build is technically straightforward and the weight falls on complying with the master plan.

What lies under the lot, and who authorises

The water table is deep, so conventional foundations — isolated and strip footings — need no dewatering during the pour. The trade-off is rock: where compact limestone appears, excavating for pool and cistern calls for a hydraulic breaker and pushes up the earthworks.

The competent municipality is Solidaridad, and the environmental file falls to municipal.

What decides this particular plot: desarrollo planificado: servicios en la banqueta y criterios de fachada definidos por el conjunto.

Site logistics, services and materials

Access: vialidad urbana nueva.

On an urban lot with no manoeuvring yard, material arrives in small frequent deliveries, the skip needs a permit, and concrete is pumped from the street.

Low salt exposure. 316 stainless can be reserved for genuinely exposed work with 304 used indoors, which saves noticeably on metalwork and steel joinery without shortening service life.

There is no design committee: the municipal licence is essentially the whole procedure, which shortens the calendar and makes this kind of lot a good candidate for a fixed-price contract, with fewer unknowns underground.
