WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY
TOTAL ACCOUNTABILITY
One team holds the full outcome. Fewer handoffs. Less drift. Clear responsibility.
PREDICTABLE RECOVERY
Friction happens. The difference is whether it turns into chaos, or gets absorbed by a controlled process.
TASTE THAT HOLDS UP HERE
Modern homes fail when they ignore climate, logistics, and maintenance reality. We design and build for the actual environment.
REMOTE OWNERSHIP, SOLVED
Built for remote owners who do not want a second job.
LIMITED CAPACITY ON PURPOSE
We only build three homes per year so responsibility stays clearly held and recovery stays fast when real-world friction shows up.
EXPLORE BUILT WORK
A few projects that show what we build and how we think.
HOW IT WORKS
A clear path from first call to handoff.
Step 1. Orientation
We start by defining scope, constraints, and priorities. You get clear decisions, clear budget logic, and a plan you can trust.
Step 2: Define Scope and Assumptions
Predictability starts here. We align on what’s included, what’s not, and what decisions drive cost and schedule.
Step 3: Execute with Controlled Decisions
We run the build so you don’t have to. You get clear recommendations, clean decision points, and a team that holds the outcome end to end.
CONTROLLED EXECUTION. COMPLETED.
Casa Gracia was built and completed in a demanding coastal environment. It was executed using the same engineering standards, sequencing discipline, and decision control we apply to every Edificio project.
Completed. Documented. Real.
“We just fell in love with Edificio homes.
The look, the layout, the construction. Working together has been absolutely easy. Edificio is a one-stop shop for everything needed to realize our dream.”

YOU’RE NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO TRY THIS. WE ALREADY DID.
I’ve been doing business in Central America for 18 years, and I’ve been building homes in Costa Rica since 2019. Most of what goes wrong here is predictable. The surprise isn’t that friction happens. It’s when no one has a system for recovering from it.
Edificio exists because I learned the hard lessons the expensive way. What breaks. What drifts. What vendors promise. What logistics actually look like. How projects get quietly de-scoped without anyone naming it. If you hire us, you’re not funding a pioneering experiment. You’re stepping into a machine that has already taken the arrows.
“Edificio delivers a very high US-quality build in Costa Rica, which is difficult to find.
I have total confidence based on Edificio’s work. Our friends were blown away when he started building. They’re like, ‘Look at that foundation. I’ve never seen anything like that in Costa Rica.’”

HOW TO THINK ABOUT BUILDING HERE
Before you commit to a lot, a plan, or a number, understand the fundamentals.
Building in Costa Rica rewards clarity and punishes assumption. Most cost overruns and timeline slips begin early, when decisions feel flexible and responsibility is split.
We’ve written a series of direct guides for serious buyers who want to understand cost structure, accountability, and how disciplined execution actually works here.
They are not promotional articles. They are frameworks.
WHY WE TAKE A LIMITED NUMBER OF PROJECTS
We keep volume low so responsibility stays clearly held. When you’re building in Costa Rica, the difference is not whether issues happen. The difference is whether the team has the bandwidth and posture to solve them quickly.
A high-end home here requires attention, coordination, and decision discipline. If a team is overloaded, the project becomes reactive. We avoid that by staying small on purpose.
