How we work, in one page

Fixed price against a line-item budget with quantities and unit prices, so the number you sign is the number you pay unless the scope changes. Payments tied to verifiable progress rather than calendar dates. Change orders priced and signed before execution. Weekly reports with dated photographs, which is how most of our clients work because they do not live in Mexico.

What we cover, and where we stop

New residential construction, villas and small developments; full and partial renovation; commercial and hotel work; and the trades owners otherwise chase separately — electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, carpentry, metalwork, waterproofing, pools and finishes. Geographically: Cancun to Tulum, plus Cozumel and Isla Mujeres. Outside that corridor we decline, because a crew three hours from base is not supervised properly.

What to ask any builder before signing

A line-item budget rather than one number. Current DRO registration for whoever signs the project. Certificates of civil liability and workers' cover, in date. A project in progress to visit, which tells you more than a finished one. And the change-order procedure in writing, because that is where budgets lose control.
