Turnkey new builds in Punta Bete: design, permits, foundation, structure and finishes under one contract, one site manager and one fixed price.
Recrea has been building houses in Punta Bete, Xcalacoco and the coast north of Playa del Carmen since 2008 — 196+ completed projects across the Riviera Maya. Our architecture, electrical, carpentry and ironwork crews are in-house, so your build does not depend on subcontractors who appear and vanish.
Real budgets for a completed build, excluding land and furniture. The range depends on the finish level: economy, mid or premium (chukum, hardwood, designer kitchen, infinity pool).
| House size | Construction cost | Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 100 m² house | $2.2M – $3.4M MXN | $122,000 – $188,000 USD |
| 150 m² house | $3.6M – $6.1M MXN | $199,000 – $337,000 USD |
| 200 m² house | $4.7M – $8.1M MXN | $260,000 – $448,000 USD |
| 300 m² house | $10.1M – $18.2M MXN | $558,000 – $1,006,000 USD |

Permits: Construction permits, licences and DRO
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.
The breakdown of what the price per m² includes and excludes is common to all our projects.
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 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.
Punta Bete and Xcalacoco are the quiet coast four kilometres north of Playa del Carmen: open beach, low density and a small hotel strip, minutes from downtown but without its noise. It is one of the few nearby spots where a beachfront house is still being built; beach lots require a ZOFEMAT concession and the design carries a full marine spec.
