Do you assist with obtaining building permits?

Yes, we can assist with the construction permit application process. We develop a skeleton set of drawings for municipal construction permits and a simple materials list and budget. The contractors are responsible for coordinating and procuring the permit.

We can also assist in coordinating Environmental approvals with the authorities that have jurisdiction (MARN, Conap, Amsclae). Typically the client would hire a specialist in these themes and Tierra Linda Architecture would provide supporting documents and do follow up with the local authorities until the permit is procured.

Finally, for those projects within 200 meters of Lake Atitlan, we can also provide documentation and plans necessary to the client’s lawyer for inscription in OCRET.
