“We felt like we struck gold on this house. We just love it!”
“During the build, Park constantly kept us updated. When he says he will do something, Park does it and has trained his crew to work to his high standards. He’s a man of integrity and honesty.
Edificio is not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.”

“Edificio delivers a very high US-quality build in Costa Rica, which is difficult to find.
The Costa Rica environment is extreme, so it shows up fast and dramatically when you don’t have a quality build. There are other builders in Costa Rica, but we found the construction looked flimsy up close. Edificio’s work is the opposite of that.
We also wanted someone who would take the reins without us having to manage the project. This is hugely valuable when you’re overseas during the build and don’t speak the local language.
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.’”

“We just fell in love with Edificio homes. The look, the layout, the construction.”
Park quickly earned my trust. This is essential because we’re investing significantly in developing this property while living in the US.
Working together has been absolutely easy. We spent a day and a half together on the property, visualizing, planning, and designing the layout, the angles, the views. Since then, Park has been in regular contact with us as we make key decisions, but they have handled everything remotely.
Edificio is a one-stop shop for everything needed to realize our dream.”

“Park’s attention to detail and flexibility made the design process so smooth”
“He’s professional, easy to work with, and incredibly respectful of my time. I can’t imagine building a home from scratch being any easier than this.
The level of transparency I enjoy with Edificio is hard to come by. You feel good putting your trust in these people, and I’ve felt that since day one.”
