Design and Building
Designing a home in Costa Rica may be a very complexed application. A Costa Rica general contractor will have the necessary professionals on staff. The designing process requires an architect, structural engineer, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, civil engineer. Also including studies on the soil for compaction and infiltration performed by registered geologist. Finally to pull it all together is an interior decorator. They will coordinate with the engineers for niches, accent lighting, functionality. They will participate in the home design for finishes, textures and colors. They will have more communication with the home owner than any other.
Of course each of these professionals hold certificates from their master studies. Including the professional license with the CFIA. In the event that a family was to choose a single architect to perform all the above. The results could be not in a favorable resolution. Often an architect firm that is apart of the Costa Rica general contractor is less expensive that a single owner operator architect. To explain, when it is necessary to outsource a service. The cost are greater and less productivity are applied to the project. Costa Rica general contractors are not facilitator. They are staffed and equipped to complete your project expeditiously with precision.
The home owner may prepare features, style, and concepts before speaking with a designer. By means of photos and sketches the home owner must communicate their vision.

However, with permanent employed crew's the men have an opportunity to learn a trade. Understand their product professionally and their application methods improved in accuracy and quality. The Costa Rica general contractor will supply them with tools of precision and equipment for the application. In addition, the tradesman has access to the engineers for consults for improvements.
