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 Xpu-Há
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
Limestone with cavities and a shallow water table, typical of the coast: the soil study decides between footings, a mat foundation or piles. Being close to the sea, rebar and ironwork get anti-corrosion protection, and on beach lots waterproofing is reinforced and the floor level checked against runoff.
Xpu-Há is a bay twenty minutes south of Playa del Carmen, with private communities such as Estrella de Mar and Arrecife: lots of 600 to 800 m², hydraulic concrete streets, water, power, drainage and conservation areas inside the development itself. It is the beach option with full services at a more reasonable price than Tulum or Puerto Aventuras, in the Solidaridad municipality, with the shortest permit timelines on the southern coast.
