Frequently Asked Questions
​Why should I use a service like Elite Building Group instead of just hiring contractors myself?
Building or remodeling a custom luxury home in a foreign country is complex, and the local landscape is full of potential pitfalls. We act as your expert liaison on the ground. Instead of you having to navigate legal paperwork, language differences, and the daunting task of vetting workers, we handle it all for you. We protect your investment, your timeline, and your peace of mind by providing a single, trusted point of contact, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
How do you find the contractors you work with? Are they reliable?
We have meticulously vetted a network of the most reputable, licensed, and reliable contractors in Guanacaste. Our selection process is rigorous. We only partner with professionals who have a proven track record of delivering high-end craftsmanship and who adhere to our strict standards for quality and communication. We've done the heavy lifting of filtering out the bad actors so you can feel confident in your team.
Do I still need to hire my own architect or designer?
No, you do not. We handle all the necessary coordination. We can either work with your existing plans or connect you with one of our trusted architectural partners who can design a custom home that perfectly fits your vision, the local climate, and all building regulations. Our job is to manage all of the moving parts so you don't have to.
How do you handle language barriers and cultural differences with the local teams?
Our team is made up of bilingual professionals with decades of experience. We act as a bridge between your vision and the local teams, translating not just the language but also the cultural nuances of the construction process. This ensures clear communication, prevents misunderstandings, and fosters a productive and respectful working environment for everyone involved.
How will you ensure my timeline stays on track and doesn’t get unnecessarily delayed?
We provide a realistic, transparent timeline from the very beginning. Our team is on the ground actively managing and enforcing the project schedule, holding all parties accountable. We have the local leverage and expertise to proactively address potential delays before they become problems, ensuring your project moves forward with efficiency and urgency.
Can you help with luxury renovations as well as new builds?
Yes, absolutely. We apply the same meticulous process and high standards to luxury renovations as we do to new home builds.
