Private Development Advisory
Guiding private clients through the complexity
of building in Los Cabos
Cardón ensures your home is built to the standard you expect — on budget, on schedule, and exactly as designed. We manage every dimension of the process so you don't have to.
Scope
Design oversight and consultant coordination+
We manage the architectural and interior design process on your behalf — coordinating between architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and specialty consultants to ensure your vision is translated accurately into built form.
Contractor vetting and management+
We identify, vet, and negotiate with general contractors and subcontractors on your behalf. Our established local relationships and construction expertise ensure accountability, quality control, and schedule discipline throughout the build.
Budget management and cost protection+
We build and manage detailed project budgets, review every invoice and change order, and flag cost exposure before it becomes a problem. No surprises.
Cross-border procurement and logistics+
Importing materials, fixtures, furniture, and equipment into Mexico means customs, freight forwarding, duties, and local delivery logistics. We manage the entire supply chain so nothing is lost, delayed, or damaged in transit.
Permitting and regulatory compliance+
Mexican permitting and regulatory requirements differ significantly from the U.S. We ensure your project meets all local, state, and federal requirements — and that your ownership structure protects your investment.
Construction oversight and quality verification+
Regular site inspections, photographic progress documentation, and milestone verification ensure the finished product matches the standard you expect.
Engagement
Every engagement begins with a confidential conversation about your project — whether you're evaluating a property, preparing to build, or already underway and in need of experienced oversight. There is no obligation and no minimum project size. We work with a small number of clients at any given time to ensure the attention your investment deserves.
