Proper information and consultation are key components to any international land acquisition and area development venture. However, finding a company with expertise and experience in those areas can prove a daunting task.

Berkley Construction Can Make Your International Dreams a Reality!
Berkley Construction General Contracting has an established track record in international development, beginning with Baja California. We currently are developing vacation and rental properties in the town of Punta Abreojos, an idyllic fishing community located in the northwest corner of Baja California Sur. Long range plans include the acquisition and development of land in mainland Mexico and Panama, with potential sites in Canada and Guatemala also being considered.

There are numerous difficulties developing in rural areas. Often, there are no supplies available, incurring shipping and travel costs. Crews have to provide their own power and water sources, and local industries often have a very different view of development than what we've become accustomed to here in the United States.

Your Solution to a Successful Business Venture
As previously stated, familiarization with foreign land laws is paramount for a seamless and successful investment venture. If you're looking to build that house on the water in paradise, Berkley Construction will educate you about the foreign legal environment that paradise resides in.

For example, in Mexico, we have done much research about the area and the title of the property in question. International residents can own land in Mexico, they just have to use good judgment, especially when it comes to understanding the nationalistic infrastructure of land titles, leases and loans.

Once the land has been secured legally and title is in hand, it is important to plan carefully. Most building will have to be paid for as it is completed since there are few construction loans available for foreign investment.

International Venture Pitfalls
The following is a brief summation of the pitfalls that often face international land owners and developers. The pace of building projects is slower than in the U.S. Dealing with local talent can also be a difficult issue. The blueprints and finishes are often not the same. Local builders will often alter established plans if they can find an easier way to achieve a similar result. Ultimately, their improvisations can make projects look sloppy, frustrating contractor and owner alike. The upside is that land is cheaper, and there are less building regulations allowing for more creative architecture and building styles to be implemented.

As such, the success of the project will be directly related to the amount of professional management, and this is where Berkley Construction can help save you time, money, and stress. Our on-site management coupled with frequent consultation between all vested parties eliminates unwanted ambiguity and facilitates project construction and completion.

We would also suggest that you try to get together with other like-minded people who enjoy a certain area and build together. That way you save money on management by leveraging material purchases to get better prices. In other words, buy more for less!

Berkley Construction can help to manage these projects by fusing materials and specialty labor from the U.S. with local knowledge and resources, helping to make your dreams of foreign land acquisition and development a reality!
