I am getting ready to start building a home in the La Fortuna area. I have rough plans already done and have an architect ready to help me start the building process. I have had no luck in searching out building materials such as windows, lighting fixtures, and standing seam interlocking roofing systems through the net. Do they have prefab windows available or is everything custom? Can anyone help me on this.
You’re not in the best location for easy access to stuff…
You could check prices at [ http://www.laferreteriadigital.com/fd/index.do ]
Another store where I have bought stuff is at [ http://www.construplaza.co.cr/en/index.htm ] but it’s a poor website as is [ http://www.ellagar.com/ellagar/ ]
I have spent thousands of dollars in EPA in Escazu (just off the main highway) which has ready made windows and doors but I have been unable to find a website.
The roofing systems I used in my country home is at [ http://www.metalco.net/content.aspx?tipo=productos§ionID=1&pid=6&len=es ]
The insulation I used in my country home is at: [ http://www.prodexcr.com/english/espanol/productos/construccion/aislante_termico_construccion.php ]

Thanks Scott, this should help me out alot. I will let you know if I find any resources in the La Fortuna area for future references.
Thanks for the links Scott, they all are great! What fun for a rainy, stormy night in Portland, Oregon shopping for my toilet for my home in Costa Rica.
Again thanks,
