Project Management and Construction Services

You’ve purchased a property in paradise and you want to build your dream home or vacation rental property. Exciting! However, this task can seem daunting, scary even, but I was once where you are now. I want to work with you and guide you through the building process. My real-life experiences and advice will be geared at saving you time and money when it comes to your investment. 

I take pride in my attention to detail and therefore, I will only work with builders who deliver on time, on budget, and exactly how their clients envisioned it. These are all important factors I want you to realize for your property build. My Spanish is improving daily, thanks to lessons I am enrolled in. If ever I get stuck, I’m happy there are numerous translation tools at my fingertips to help me out. 

If you are searching for someone to build for you, and want assistance to get shovels in the ground, I welcome a conversation. Simply send me a message and we can get started. 

Hiring the right builder for the job

Bottom line, it’s your bottom line which matters to me. You should not pay more than $100,000 USD to build a beautiful, turnkey luxury home. You can build a comfortable, gorgeous two-bedroom bungalow–including a pool and landscaping–for less than $50,000 USD. The question is: How do you select the right builder? 

In my first three months living here, I met with over 55 tradespeople who referred to themselves as builders. I was stunned at the difference in price quotes for doing the same work.  

One interesting thing I found, builders with a high volume of North American clients usually charge the most because you’re paying a premium for the convenience of an english-speaking builder. Whereas, you can save yourself money by getting the exact same type of build done by a Spanish-speaking builder. 

I have a property near Portalon, and before I started building, a lot of prep work was needed on the lot. I ‘tested out’ six different builders. I gave them each a set of tasks so I could see how they work and get a feel for who would be the right builder(s) to work with. Through this trial and error on my own land, I am happy to share that I now have four different construction companies which stand out above the rest and who I trust to get the job done right.  

Collaborate and work with me and I’ll ensure you hire builders who are professional, provide high-quality results, and stay within budget.
