For Developers

Why it can help you sell

When the program is operating, it is meant as a sales tool, not as decoration.

A buyer who sees a stage that was earned — not purchased — may arrive better informed and more willing to ask serious questions. That can mean more qualified leads: fewer visits that fall apart at the first "where does my deposit go?"

There are diaspora and foreign buyers who avoid pre-construction today because they want deposit protection. A design in which the money will go into a fideicomiso and will be released after independent inspections answers that interest. This page does not publish demand figures, and it does not promise a volume of reservations.

That is especially useful for a newer developer. Without a record of buildings already handed over, the program can stand in for that track record in front of a buyer who does not know you. It does not replace the work of finishing the project.

The guides for buyers are the other side of this conversation: what a buyer will read about the fideicomiso and what to review before reserving.

What the program will require

This is what a developer will have to provide once the pilot is operating. It is a list for preparing a file, not a review ObraCierta is running now. Your lawyer should review the documents as well.

Construction licenses.
The municipal permit and, once work is under way, the MIVHED construction license. If the project is a tourist project, also the CONFOTUR classification.
A clean title.
The certificado de título (title certificate) and a current estado jurídico (legal-status report), under Ley 108-05 on the Property Registry.
A trust with a fiduciary the program approves,
including the clause that no money is released without the panel inspector's certificate. Who may act as fiduciary is set by Article 25 of Ley 189-11; a first step to check this is the Superintendencia de Bancos public list. This page does not name fiduciaries.
Budget and schedule.
A staged construction plan, with marketing costs inside each stage rather than as a separate line that competes with the building work.
Proof of funds.
What you can show as equity, financing and expected deposits, to cover the cost to finish plus a cushion of about 10%.
Access
for the stage inspections.
A standard buyer contract.
This page does not draft it. Your lawyer will review it alongside the wording the program proposes.
Consent to publish
the project's status, stage by stage: whether it passed or failed. Detailed reports can stay private.

If the title is missing, if work is already under way without a license, or if the funds do not cover the estimate plus the cushion, that project will not move to the protection stage. That stage cannot be bought.

Fees

In this pilot, ObraCierta earns only if there is a sale. There is no upfront fee and no onboarding fee.

A flat 1% of the sale value on every unit sold inside the protected program. It is paid from the trust at closing.
A 2% referral fee when a buyer sent by ObraCierta goes straight to the developer’s sales team. It is tracked by a link or by the form, with a timestamp. The referral credit lasts 2 years from ObraCierta's logged, dated introduction of the buyer.

The developer pays third parties directly: the fiduciary, the panel inspector (ObraCierta selects and rotates them; the fee is fixed, whether the stage passes or fails), a third-party cost-to-complete estimate, and the project’s legal work.

ObraCierta never holds the funds.

Apply / express interest

If you want to join this founding pilot once it is operating, you can express your interest now. That does not claim your page today, it does not enroll you in a custody service, and it does not award any stage. The program is not yet in operation.

The form will ask for: company name, contact name, email, project name and city, and a message if you want to leave one. We do not ask for a phone number on this form.

When the program is ready to review files, we will get in touch at that email. Until then, an independent lawyer — yours — remains the person who walks you through the fideicomiso, the title and the contract.
