Local help with planning
and managing your build.
How I work
I coordinate the people, materials, expenses, and day-to-day decisions involved in building a home in Costa Rica. Based in Puriscal, I can follow the work here when you are living elsewhere.
My role
Following the work and keeping you informed.
My involvement includes organizing workers and suppliers, coordinating purchases and deliveries, following schedules and payments, and resolving questions as the build progresses. I document expenses and keep you informed about progress and decisions that need your attention.
I work alongside the architect, engineers, and builders. They bring their specialist expertise; I coordinate the process and represent your priorities throughout it.
Where I can help
From early decisions to the finishes.
You may be looking for land, working on a design, or ready to start building. My involvement depends on where you are and what support your project needs.
Land and early decisions
I can help you consider land in relation to the home you want to build: access, services, the setting, and practical construction questions. I also help coordinate the local professionals needed to assess a property before purchase.
Priorities and budget
We discuss how you want to live in the home, what matters most to you, and your approximate budget. This gives the architect and team a practical starting point and helps guide choices as the project develops.
Putting the team together
I help bring together architects, engineers, builders, craftspeople, and suppliers according to the project’s needs, and coordinate communication between them.
Working through the design
I work with you and the architect to consider materials, costs, and practical building questions while the plans develop. We also discuss how choices about layout, light, and finishes will affect everyday life in the home.
Managing construction
I coordinate labor, material purchases, deliveries, suppliers, schedules, and payments. I follow progress on site, document expenses, and work through day-to-day questions with the team while keeping you informed.
Materials and finishes
I help source materials and work through choices about fixtures, colors, woodwork, and other finishes. We consider cost, availability, practical use, and how the different parts will look and feel together.
Working together
Your decisions, with local support.
You remain involved in the decisions that shape your home. I coordinate the local work and help you understand the choices as they arise, with attention to your budget and priorities.
Invoices, receipts, and regular reporting help you follow construction spending and understand how project funds are being used.
