OUR APPROACH
Simply unmatched, one-of-a-kind, hassle-free experience
LOCAL EXPERTISE. AMERICAN DESIGN & ENGINEERING.
With more than 16 years in Central America, we understand the terrain and challenges of building in Costa Rica.
Our homes are designed and engineered to California construction standards, ensuring comfort, safety, and durability.
RADICALLY TRANSPARENT
We provide detailed updates at every stage—from the initial design to the final walk-through.
You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, clear timelines, and direct access to your project lead, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening with your build.
NO SURPRISE COSTS. EVER.
Our fixed-price approach means the price we quote is the price you pay.
No hidden fees, no unexpected charges—just peace of mind from start to finish.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A tropical oasis that meets your highest standards
Edificio homes are designed with features other builders just don’t use here.
Safe glass windows that impress and protect
Glass walls in the jungle are gorgeous. But they need to be safe.
Our double-pane, tempered glass stands strong through earthquakes and high winds (and won’t shatter into sharp, dangerous shards if someone runs into it).
Plus, with an added argon layer for insulation and a heat-reflecting low-E coating, your home stays cool and comfortable all year—not like the heat magnifying glass effect you get with some other builds.
Insulation done right. For you and the planet
In Costa Rica, even high-end homes have roofs that trap heat, so you’re never comfortable without pumping AC.
We use thick closed-cell foam in the roof and walls to block the heat out.
The result? A cooler, greener home.
Roof so watertight, it shrugs off Nosara’s heaviest rains
In Nosara, even new luxury homes often struggle with leaks. But yours won’t.
We use the same roofing system as Miami’s commercial buildings, which means no leaks, no matter how hard it pours.
So, while your neighbor stresses over leaks, you’ll enjoy the sound of rain from your cozy, dry retreat.
Polished concrete floors for durable and easy upkeep
Concrete floors are the perfect hassle-free choice for the tropics.
Unlike wood, which warps and wears, polished concrete stays strong.
Its sleek finish softens the modern feel of steel and glass, adding a natural, grounded touch—and it looks stunning, too.
Plus all the premium features already thought out. Just ask.
Advanced ventilation systems. Hard-wired internet. Recovery rooms with therapy devices. Sports courts. Swim spas. Greenhouses. Chromotherapy rooms. And many more.
