Paradise Peak Real Estate - Costa Rica - Home Construction Service

Let us take the worry and risk out of building in Costa Rica. We use only the best architects, engineers, and construction crews. On top of that, we can manage the construction from start to finish to ensure top quality construction. We are the one company that will deliver the house exactly like you designed it and we will deliver it on time.

Paradise Peak Home Construction Services will contract the construction team and allow you to purchase and coordinate the delivery of your own materials, thus receiving discounts directly from local hardware stores. We have already advocated on your behalf with several local hardware stores for discounts that you will receive on materials. We will not accept any kickbacks or engage in any overpricing of materials as is typically done in the home construction business. We can also fully manage your home construction project to provide you with peace of mind. We will be there every step of the way to help guide you in the maze of home building in Costa Rica.

Construction is much less costly than usually found in North America. The majority of construction in Costa Rica is block and concrete which lend themselves to be very durable and sound proof structures. A finished home currently would cost about $75-100 per square foot to build here. Of course the materials you choose can affect that cost significantly.

Building your own home can save you as much as 20-60% over buying an existing home, plus you won't be dissatisfied with your Paradise Peak home. Most existing homes in the area are not built to North American standards or earthquake regulations such as our homes. Talk to us about our network of architects and builders. We can remove the risk involved in building in Costa Rica. We can refer you to several area architects and you decide which one is right for your project.

If you cannot be at the construction site or have someone you trust on site every day, you need Paradise Peak Home Construction Services otherwise you will likely encounter many difficulties while building in Costa Rica.

Construction materials and tools disappearing from the work site.
Being billed for more items than have been delivered.
What you specified is not what was installed.
Missed deadlines are the norm here in Central America.
Door and window frames of different measurements.
Cutting corners to save costs on important parts of your house that may not be visible. Things like:
- Using undersized electrical wire.
- Quality of interior tubing.
- Under sizing the septic tank and/or drain field.
- Not installing the amenities that you selected.
- Incorrect proportions of cement, sand and gravel.
- No use of additives in concrete mixtures.

There are also a lot of other things that can unintentionally go wrong. If you want construction to the standards that you are accustomed, you have to realize that they are new for Tico builders. Most builders have no idea how or where to install a dish washer. They have never seen an oven hood that is vented to the outside. It is no issue to them if the electrical, cable TV, and phone outlets are at different heights, trust us, that is what one of our agents has in her garage, built by Tico builders. The concept of using over sized tubing, water holding tanks, with pressurizing pumps and large drain fields are all foreign to them.
