In this article about Gente de Grecia, you will learn about the work of Marco Antonio Soto, founder of Grupo MASA, a company with eight years of experience building homes for Costa Rican and foreign families.

Grupo MASA is a company with more than eight years of experience in the construction of single and multi-family homes. Its main focus has been the development of residential projects located in Grecia, Costa Rica. However, they have developed other projects throughout the country, such as in Guanacaste, the area of Los Santos and the Atlantic.

For Grupo MASA, when advising its clients on the selection of a plot, they always do the following

• Check the condition of the land: if it has slopes or steep inclines, retaining walls or embankments can be used to level them.
• Sun orientation and air flow: as these are key to the thermal comfort of the home and for a design that takes full advantage of natural light and cross ventilation.
• Up-to-date documentation: Documents such as cadastral maps, land use permits, and restrictions and by laws, as certain properties may be subject to special rules.
• Availability of services: Access to potable water, electricity and sewerage is also a fundamental consideration.

In addition to the construction services that Grupo MASA offers, they can perform the work of a Home Inspector. The work of a Home Inspector is fundamental for those who want to buy a house, since it is a technical evaluation to detect structural, electrical and plumbing problems.

The home inspector evaluates the condition of the electrical installation, verifying the proper use of electrical wiring codes, ground connections, the condition of splices, and the condition of the breaker box.

They also inspect the condition of the sewer system for leaks, odors or contamination. The installation of pipes, the condition of septic tanks and water seepage.

Finally, regarding the structure of the house, they check the humidity in the walls, cracks in the ceilings and walls, as well as the wear and tear of the construction materials.

All of this is necessary to avoid any damage that the house may present after the purchase of the same, thus warning the new owners or the current owner of what are the points of improvement for the property.
