BUILD WITH STELCOR

Build Your Home in Belize

Building a home in Belize usually means finding an architect, an engineer, a builder and a materials supplier separately, then keeping them all moving in the same direction. Stelcor brings those pieces together. We coordinate the design, the engineering, the building systems and the independent builders who do the work, so you have one point of contact from plans to keys.

House plans designed for your lot

There is no single Belize house plan that works everywhere. A home on a caye, a beachfront lot, a river lot in Cayo and a town lot in Belmopan face different ground, flood levels, wind exposure and permit requirements. That is why every Stelcor home plan is custom, designed around your land, the area, how you want to live and your budget.

Whether you are thinking about a two-bedroom retreat, a three-bedroom family home or something larger, we start from your lot and your brief, not from a catalogue.

How it works

1. Tell us about your land and your plans. Location, lot size, how many bedrooms, how you will use the house and when you want to build.
2. Design and engineering. The home is designed for your site and climate, with structural engineering for the walls, floors and roof.
3. Pricing. You receive pricing for your design. Final cost depends on the design, lot conditions, finishes and your selections.
4. Permits. Drawings, including the wastewater system the permit requires, are prepared for approval by the Central Building Authority or the local Building Unit.
5. Construction. Experienced independent builders carry out the work using Stelcor building systems, with Stelcor coordinating the project.
6. Handover. You walk the finished home, and we close out the project with you.

Built with systems made for Belize

• ICF walls: a solid 6-inch reinforced concrete wall, formed and continuously insulated in one system.
• Precast floor and roof systems: for second-storey floors and concrete roofs.
• Wastewater systems: for sites where a septic tank alone is not enough.
• Concrete protection: for coastal and exposed sites.

Building from abroad?

Many of our clients live outside Belize. Read how to build a house in Belize from abroad, and see the Building in Belize guide for permits, wastewater and budgeting.
