Building or renovating a house in Mexico is not like doing it in the States.

There are horror stories of houses that took years to complete, were unsafely built, or ran twice the original budget.
  • Construction techniques are very different in Mexico (but your home can be very, very stout and well built).

  • Living styles in Mexico mean creating a home that allows for complete indoor-outdoor living: terraces, open living rooms, palapa shade decks, pools and fountains, and a host of other environments.

  • Heavy rains, baking sun, salty air trade winds… Weather conditions can dictate many necessary (and wonderful!) design elements.
