John Wilkinson started this company in 1977 with a rule he still repeats today: treat a client’s money like it’s your own.
That rule is basically the whole business model. It’s why, almost fifty years later, the same family still runs the company, still shows up on site, and still gets called back by clients who worked with them a decade ago.
We manage, consult on, and renovate buildings across Toronto and the GTA — and we do it the same way John started doing it, with the owner’s name actually on the line.
After a career spent building across Canada, John Wilkinson made a personal decision to bring that experience to Costa Rica, a market he knows well and believes in.
It’s not a franchise or a name licensed to someone else. It’s John, personally involved, applying the same construction management discipline that protected Canadian clients for 45 years to projects here, adapted to local regulations, local suppliers and the way things actually get built in Costa Rica.
A Contractor builds what is on the drawings. A Construction Manager ensures the drawings are complete, and that they provide the necessary information for a buildable and efficient project that will be within the Owner’s budget and time constraints.
When construction management, consulting and construction work all sit under one roof, you get one team that’s accountable for the whole picture instead of three separate parties each protecting their own piece of it. Fewer surprises. Faster decisions when something needs to change. And someone with decades in the business actually watching the numbers, not just the schedule.
careful upgrade improvements to make a good building more useable and more beautiful with minimal disruption.
45+ years managing construction across Canada, now applied to Costa Rica, this isn’t a first attempt, it’s a proven system finding a new home.
We run an open-book relationship with clients, and we don’t take kickbacks from trades in Costa Rica or anywhere else. Ask us anything about a line item and you’ll get a straight answer.
John Wilkinson is personally involved in every project taken on in Costa Rica your build isn’t handed off to someone who’s never met you.
New build, second opinion, or a renovation that can’t afford to go sideways — talk to a team bringing 45 years of experience to Costa Rica.
