Various Levels of Architectural Assistance

Project: You can hire an Architect to develop your ideas and his job ends when he gives you the blueprints.

Legal process: You need several legal papers in order to get a permit to work in Yucatan.

Architectural Supervision: If you hire an Architect as supervisor, he should go to the construction site as often as your contractor needs him. Usually this service is charged by the hour and it is the contractor’s responsibility to have all issues resolved in full. This point only covers questions concerning architectural drawings.

Construction Supervision: A specialist should supervise what goes inside your walls because there are no certified inspectors in Yucatan. A specialist will monitor the safe and accurate installation of electricity, plumbing, gas, etc. Otherwise, after construction, the only way to know how they were installed is to break into the walls!

Gardening: There are several landscape artists to work this part, but an Architect can also assist in landscape design.

Getting the whole package: It is very important that you feel comfortable with your Architect and can exchange ideas with complete comprehension. Mexico is a wonderful place to retire and relax but it is a headache to work here. Hiring an Architect to fully manage your project may seem unnecessary. But it is well worth the investment to personally avoid the many complications and frustrations of handling details. A reliable Architect to watch over your project also ensures accuracy and safety during the construction process.
