Frequently Asked Questions About Built to Suit Facilities in Mexico
Â
Q: What exactly is a Build to Suit project in Mexico? A: A Build to Suit project is a custom-designed and constructed facility tailored to your specific operational requirements. Rather than adapting to an existing building, your facility in Guadalajara or elsewhere in Mexico is created from the ground up to match your exact specifications, timeline, and budget parameters. Discovery CRE manages the entire process from site selection through final delivery.
Q: How long does a typical Build to Suit project take in Guadalajara? A: Most Build to Suit projects in Guadalajara and the Jalisco region are completed within 10-14 months from initial planning to move-in. Simpler warehouse facilities may be delivered in as little as 8 months, while complex manufacturing operations with specialized requirements typically require 12-16 months. Our project management approach focuses on timeline adherence while maintaining quality standards.
Q: What are the financial advantages of Build to Suit versus leasing existing facilities in Mexico? A: Build to Suit projects in Mexico typically yield 15-25% greater operational efficiency by eliminating compromises inherent in retrofitting existing spaces. While initial development may take longer than leasing existing facilities, companies generally recover this time through faster ramp-up periods and fewer operational adjustments. Additionally, customized facilities reduce ongoing maintenance and modification costs throughout the building lifecycle.
Q: How does Discovery CRE handle permitting and regulatory compliance for Build to Suit projects? A: Our local expertise in Guadalajara and throughout Mexico streamlines the permitting process that often challenges foreign companies. We manage all regulatory interactions, including environmental impact assessments, construction permits, utility connections, and occupancy certifications. Our established relationships with local authorities in Jalisco typically accelerate approvals compared to companies navigating these processes independently.
Q: What location factors should we consider for our Build to Suit project in Mexico? A: Optimal site selection balances multiple factors including labor market access, supplier proximity, transportation infrastructure, utility reliability, security considerations, and expansion potential. In the Guadalajara region, including our Discovery Park, Tala project, we evaluate specific factors such as technical talent availability, telecommunications infrastructure, and complementary industry presence that might benefit your operations.
Q: How do you ensure quality control during construction of our facility? A: We implement a multi-layered quality assurance approach for all Build to Suit projects in Mexico. This includes regular third-party inspections, material testing protocols, milestone-based quality reviews, and dedicated site supervisors representing your interests. Our documentation standards exceed Mexican requirements, creating clear accountability throughout the construction process and facilitating warranty enforcement if needed.
Q: What flexibility exists for future expansion in Build to Suit projects? A: We design Build to Suit facilities in Guadalajara with planned expansion capabilities whenever possible. This typically includes structural provisions for additional bays, pre-designed utility capacity for growth, and master planning that reserves adjacent land when available. Our Discovery Park, Tala project specifically offers phased growth options that allow companies to secure expansion rights while minimizing initial investment.
Q: How do Build to Suit contracts typically work in Mexico? A: Most Build to Suit arrangements in Mexico involve long-term leases (7-15 years) with a developer who constructs and maintains ownership of the facility. This structure preserves your capital for core business operations while securing a purpose-built facility. Alternative structures include build-to-own options and various hybrid approaches. Discovery CRE evaluates which structure best serves your financial and operational objectives.
Q: What sustainability options are available for Build to Suit projects in Guadalajara? A: Guadalajara offers excellent conditions for sustainable building practices, particularly solar energy integration. Our Build to Suit projects can incorporate LEED-certified designs, water conservation systems, energy-efficient building envelopes, and renewable energy infrastructure. These investments typically deliver 20-30% operational cost savings while supporting corporate sustainability commitments and improving working conditions.
Q: How do you handle the design process for clients who aren't familiar with Mexican construction standards? A: Our design process bridges North American expectations with Mexican construction realities. We begin by thoroughly documenting your operational requirements, then translate these into designs that meet both your needs and local building codes. Regular design reviews ensure alignment throughout development, with 3D visualization tools helping clients understand proposed solutions before implementation.
Q: What advantages does Guadalajara offer for Build to Suit projects compared to other Mexican locations? A: Guadalajara provides a uniquely favorable environment for Build to Suit projects with its combination of technical talent, established manufacturing ecosystem, and quality of life advantages that help attract and retain key personnel. The region offers competitive construction costs compared to border locations, excellent connectivity through its international airport, and a business-friendly regulatory environment specifically for industrial development.
Q: How does Discovery CRE coordinate between our US-based team and local contractors in Mexico? A: We serve as your single point of contact throughout the Build to Suit process, eliminating the need for your team to manage multiple Mexican entities. Our bilingual project managers facilitate clear communication, maintain detailed documentation in both languages, and provide regular progress updates through standardized reporting. We handle cultural and business practice differences that often create friction in international projects.
