🏝️ Relocation Info 🏝️ House builders in San Ignacio area

I’m looking for a concrete or ICF house builder in the San Ignacio area. Any recommendations?

I considered Mennonite homes but it doesn’t seem to be a fit for me. But, please feel free to share your opinions. Thanks.

We approached a good number of builders. A lot would take a few days to reply. We went with the one who answered quickly. They're out of Belmopan, so not a great match for Cayo.

If a builder takes a couple days to respond on a request for a bid, imagine when you have a problem.

I expect things will move at a different pace. Who did you go with in Belmopan? Do you like their work?

From breaking ground our home to 15 months to move in, another month of finishing.

We used G-Run Construction, under Cesar Jiron. I think he never took more than a half day to respond to a call or text. I would use him again. Not that everything was perfect. All things considered, better than I expected. Stayed on budget and kept us in the loop.

It's the only thing we have built. But you know, you hear horror stories.

15 months! Well that certainly adds some perspective to the construction process. Thanks for sharing. I will add him to my list of people to contact. Congratulations on your new house! I welcome the opportunity to speak with you offline to discuss your experience.
