Construction
In fact, if you are planning on building somewhere it is very important that you select the correct piece of land to build on and make sure you can build what you want where you want. Basically, the construction process begins with the purchase of the land. Please see the PURCHASE PROCESS SECTION before reading the other sections above.
Another important thing to note is that construction materials that you will find here are different. You will notice the homes are made of steel rods, concrete blocks and concrete all according to the anti-seismic codes here. Windows are usually made with aluminum or PVC frames to protect from the humidity. Another thing that comes as a shock to many foreigners is that Costa Ricans, do not use screens in their windows or doors. When working with a developer if you would like screens it is usually considered an upgrade. This is a good idea especially if you are in an area that could have insects.
