The gap between promised and built

This service exists because the gap between what a contractor promises and what actually gets built can be significant. I close that gap.

In Costa Rica, what gets inspected gets done properly. Having a qualified, independent overseer on site changes the dynamic entirely. Contractors perform differently when they know the work will be checked to Canadian standards.

Who this is for

Clients who have already engaged a local contractor but want independent oversight to protect their investment — or clients managing a remote build who need a trusted local presence able to catch problems before they become expensive.

What's included

On-site quality inspections at every key build stage
Caja Costarricense (social security) compliance verification
Insurance compliance checks for all workers on site
Municipal and regulatory sign-off management
Material and workmanship standards enforcement
Regular reporting to you — in plain English
Nicoya Peninsula  ·  Santa Teresa & surrounding areas

What "Canadian standards" means here

Safe, serviceable, protected systems built for how the house will actually be used — not just whether it works on handover day. See the full standards explanation →

Who is this service for?

Clients who have already engaged a local contractor but want independent oversight to protect their investment. Also ideal for clients managing a remote build who need a trusted local presence with the expertise to catch problems before they become expensive.

What's the difference between this and full custom home building?

Custom home building means I manage the entire project from design through handover. Construction management means you already have a team in place, and I provide independent quality control and oversight on your behalf.

Will my existing contractor push back on having oversight?

In Costa Rica, what gets inspected gets done properly. Contractors generally perform differently once they know the work will actually be checked.
