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 Palmaris, Cancún
In Benito Juárez the building licence goes through the Urban Development office with a DRO-endorsed project. Puerto Cancún and the Hotel Zone add FONATUR sign-off and, on beachfront lots, a ZOFEMAT concession. Gated communities such as Cumbres, Aqua and Lagos also run a design committee with height, façade and working-hours rules.
The lot: what decides your foundation
Limestone with fill areas and a high water table near the Nichupté lagoon. The soil study sets the foundation type and the damp-proofing strategy; on lots near the lagoon, reinforced waterproofing and anti-corrosion protection of the rebar are mandatory.
Palmaris is part of Cancún’s most important residential corridor on Huayacán, family-oriented and more balanced in price than Aqua or Villa Magna. It is the sensible point for a home with amenities and security without paying the premium of the most exclusive estates; the community rules and the Benito Juárez municipal licence set the calendar, not the construction itself.
