What Is Turnkey Construction in Costa Rica and Why Choose It?

Building a home in a tropical paradise like Costa Rica is a dream for many. But transforming that dream into reality can be overwhelming, especially for foreigners unfamiliar with local laws, suppliers, and processes. That’s where turnkey construction in Costa Rica becomes the game-changer—and why Ticonstru’s Viva solution is leading the way.
Understanding Turnkey Construction
What does “turnkey” really mean?
A turnkey construction solution is a comprehensive service in which a construction company takes full responsibility for every stage of the building process—from design to handing over the keys. You simply “turn the key” and move into your ready-to-live home.
This model offers a streamlined experience, eliminating the need for the owner to manage multiple contractors, permits, timelines, or materials.
What does a turnkey service include?
In Costa Rica, a robust turnkey solution like Viva by Ticonstru typically covers:
- Architectural design and engineering
- Permits and legal paperwork
- Budget planning and transparent quoting
- Labor and project management
- Material procurement
- Finishing, landscaping, and final delivery
Why Choose Turnkey Construction in Costa Rica?
Less Stress, More Control
Coordinating a build from abroad can be a logistical nightmare. With a turnkey solution, the stress of managing labor, materials, and compliance disappears. Clients get a single point of contact and consistent updates throughout the process.
Ticonstru, with years of experience in construction in Costa Rica, ensures clear communication from day one.
Time and Cost Efficiency
Handling everything in-house allows a turnkey provider to optimize labor, reduce material waste, and avoid costly delays.
With Ticonstru’s turnkey model, we work with fixed budgets and timeline guarantees, giving you peace of mind and no surprise costs.
Local Knowledge, Global Standards
Understanding Costa Rica’s terrain, regulations, and climate challenges is key to successful construction. Our local experts integrate earthquake-resistant structures, sustainable practices, and smart tropical design into every build.
And with our network of legal and financial advisors, foreign clients receive full support when navigating property laws and tax optimization.
Customization Without Chaos
You don’t lose your voice in a turnkey process. Quite the opposite.
At Ticonstru, we collaborate closely with each client during the design phase to reflect your lifestyle, preferences, and vision—offering the same personalization you’d get with custom home builders in Costa Rica, but without the project management burden.
Investment-Ready from Day One
Many clients are building not just a home, but a rental property or vacation retreat. With turnkey construction, your investment is guest-ready upon delivery—perfect for platforms like Airbnb or our exclusive listing service at Jurvia.com.
