Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo
Architecture & Construction in Playa del Carmen
PGA delivers architecture and construction in Playa del Carmen — private residences, condominium buildings and boutique hospitality — designed and built under one roof by architect Roberto Carli.
Building in Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen is the Riviera Maya's densest urban market. Projects range from residential lots in Playacar and the northern colonias to mixed-use buildings close to Quinta Avenida, all governed by Solidaridad municipality's urban development regulations.
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 Playa del Carmen requires
Urban density & zoning
Height limits, setbacks and land-use coefficients vary by zone. We model the permitted envelope before design starts so the programme is buildable.
Solidaridad permits
Construction licences, land-use certificates and environmental requirements are handled as part of our service, scheduled into the programme.
Condominium & rental design
Many Playa del Carmen projects are investment properties. We design for durability, maintenance and rental performance as much as for image.
Coastal materials
Salt air and humidity demand careful specification of concrete cover, metals, timber and finishes to protect long-term value.

Building in Playa del Carmen, answered
Do you offer both architecture and construction in Playa del Carmen?
Yes. PGA designs and builds in Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
Yes. Foreign owners typically hold property through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican company. PGA coordinates legal structuring, Solidaridad permits and construction so owners can build without living on site.
How much does it cost to build in Playa del Carmen?
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.
