THE DIFFERENCE
Building a home abroad is personal.
So is protecting it.
Architects design. Contractors build. Lawyers handle legal work. But who is watching the big picture exclusively for you?
That's where CR Project Management comes in. We coordinate, verify, question, document, and communicate—so you can make informed decisions without having to be on-site every day.

MEET YOUR ADVOCATES
Local knowledge.
Owner-first thinking.
Chacon & Ruiz Project Management was created to make complex property and construction decisions in Costa Rica easier to navigate—especially for owners managing them from abroad.
Our leadership combines Costa Rican civil-engineering experience with direct communication for U.S.-based clients. We coordinate the specialists, track the details and keep the decision-making where it belongs: with you.
We are owner's representatives—not the construction contractor, legal counsel, architect of record, or substitute for the project's licensed professionals.
Start a conversation ↗ GOOD QUESTIONS
A few things
worth knowing.
Do I have to hire CRPM for my entire project?+
No. Engagements are organized by phases. You can join at any stage and decide whether to continue at each completed phase. If your project is already underway, we first assess what exists and define the scope we can responsibly take on.
Will you hire the architect or contractor for me?+
We can help identify, vet and compare qualified candidates, coordinate proposals and make recommendations. You choose your professionals and sign contracts with them directly.
Can you manage my project while I'm in the U.S.?+
That's a central part of our approach. We coordinate local site observations and remote progress reporting, and bring important decisions to you. Certain legal, banking or project matters may still require your direct participation.
Can you take over a troubled construction project?+
Possibly. Project Rescue begins with a separate assessment of contracts, work completed, budget, schedule and risk. We may decline an assignment where unresolved conditions make effective oversight impractical.
What happens to my project documents afterward?+
Our planned client platform includes a long-term property archive for approved documents, warranties and project media. The planned minimum access period is ten years after the engagement ends, with full export capability; final terms will be set out in your service agreement.
