Puerto Vallarta is a wonderful place to build a home. The views are gorgeous, the climate is excellent and the cost of living is amazingly affordable. Building a home here, however, requires experienced design and engineering professionals, who understand the terrain in Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta is located in the foothills of the Sierra Madres. The land here is rarely level, and hillside homes must be properly anchored and secured. Puerto Vallarta does experience minor earthquake activity mainly from faults located well south of the city. While major earthquakes don’t hit Puerto Vallarta, we do feel occasional seismic activities.

High quality design and engineering can minimize the impact of this activity on your home. Building here can be done quite safely and affordably. And I also have to say that the results are stunning. Gorgeous homes reminiscent of Hollywood hillside mansions can be built here for a fraction of their cost in the US.

Puerto Vallarta makes the ideal location for a second home or luxury hideaway. Home designs can range from traditional Mexican to modern North American. There are no rules when it comes to design, and you can have the home of your dreams in the style that suits your tastes.

Puerto Vallarta experiences nearly 300 sunny days per year, and home design can play a major role in keeping a home cool. Novel designs, building materials, window placement, and orientation all work together to help keep the home cool and comfortable throughout the year.
