It doesn’t have to be a nightmare

Construction typically means delays, cost overruns, and incomprehensible paperwork most people accept as inevitable. Mayrose was founded by a homeowner who built houses in both the US and Portugal, lived through the chaos firsthand, and heard countless similar stories from expat friends.

Over time, he identified a network of high-quality, reliable specialists who helped him complete multiple successful projects. As word spread and people began asking for his connections and guidance, he realized there was an acute need for what became Mayrose.
