Absolutely. Many of our clients from Canada and the U.S. build homes in Tulum remotely — with full transparency, legal protection, and weekly updates.
1. Find the right builder: You’ll need a local, English-speaking team like PlayaBuilder that offers design, permits, engineering, and construction under one roof.
2. Legal structure: Most foreigners buy through a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation. PlayaBuilder connects you with local attorneys to set it up.
3. Tech-driven updates: Weekly progress reports, videos, drone shots, and budget updates keep you informed from afar.
4. Full-service approach: From jungle clearing to permit submission, our in-house team handles every step.
5. Customs and logistics: We source and import finishes, furniture, and appliances for clients still living in Toronto or San Diego.
6. Inspections and milestones: Every phase — from foundation to finishes — is inspected and documented.
Building remotely in Tulum is surprisingly easy with the right partner. PlayaBuilder takes the stress out of distance by making communication effortless and the process fully transparent.
