Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo
Architecture & Construction in Akumal
PGA provides architecture and construction in Akumal — oceanfront villas and low-density residences designed and built with respect for one of the Riviera Maya's most protected coastlines.
Building in Akumal
Akumal's bays and reefs are environmentally sensitive. Building here means working with federal coastal zone rules, environmental impact requirements and careful construction logistics.
Every project is led personally by Roberto Carli, founder of PGA, an architecture and construction studio in Tulum and the Riviera Maya. One team carries your project from design through permits to construction.
Local expertise
What architecture and construction in Akumal requires
Federal coastal zone
Beachfront lots involve the ZOFEMAT federal maritime zone and setbacks that shape where and how you can build.
Environmental impact
We coordinate environmental studies and design low-impact foundations, drainage and wastewater treatment.
Turtle-friendly lighting
Exterior lighting is designed to protect nesting beaches — a requirement that also produces a calmer, more elegant night-time architecture.
Marine-grade materials
Specifications are chosen for direct sea exposure to keep maintenance manageable.

Building in Akumal, answered
Do you offer both architecture and construction in Akumal?
Yes. PGA designs and builds in Akumal as one integrated studio led by architect Roberto Carli — from site analysis and architectural design to permits, construction management and handover.
Can foreigners build a home in Akumal?
Yes. Foreign owners typically hold property through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican company. PGA coordinates legal structuring, Tulum permits and construction so owners can build without living on site.
How much does it cost to build in Akumal?
Cost depends on structure, finish level, access and site conditions, and is quoted per square metre. PGA prepares an itemised construction budget before work starts so the approved figure is the one the project is built to.
