We help foreign owners build their home or villa in Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Cancun and the whole Riviera Maya without having to be in Mexico — with the bank trust (fideicomiso), a fixed-price bilingual contract, photo and video progress reports, and turnkey handover. 18+ years, 196 projects and a written warranty.
In the coastal strip, foreign ownership is structured through a bank trust; we coordinate with your notary and attorney.
Contract in English and Spanish, with a line-item budget and milestone payments — no overruns, no surprises.
Weekly progress reports with photos, video and video calls; you supervise the build from any country.
We handle the license, DRO, land use and — in Tulum — SEMA environmental authorization for you.
Design, permits, construction, pool and, if you wish, furnishing — you receive a finished, ready property.
The whole process in your language: clear communication in English and Spanish throughout the build.
A foreigner can own and build in the Riviera Maya. Within the 50 km coastal strip, ownership is structured through a bank trust (fideicomiso) — a Mexican bank holds title in trust for you, with full rights to use, rent, sell and inherit — or, for multiple projects, through a Mexican corporation. What matters is the right team around you: notary, attorney and a trustworthy builder who works on a fixed-price bilingual contract and gives you remote reports. That way you build from your home country with full control: we manage permits, DRO, construction and quality, and you receive photos, video and video calls every week. Over 18 years building for clients from the US, Canada and Europe.

"I bought the land in Tulum and flew back to Canada. Recrea built everything with weekly reports; I came back to a finished home, exactly as in the contract."

"Contract in English, fixed price and video calls every week. Building in Mexico from Germany was far easier than I expected."
