Tom Terry is a pioneer of sorts in Costa Rica.  In 1993 Tom started as a Costa Rica Custom Home Builder when the engineer he hired to develop his custom homes in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica was not performing up to his high standards so he was forced to take over.  

That first project Tom Built, called Laguna Vista, overlooking the pristine Playas del Coco Bay, eventually won the architect Victor Canas the prestigious grand prize in design at the Architecture and Urbanism Biennial in 1998.  Since then his projects have garnered numerous awards and distinctions.

Check out this video as Tom introduces us to his Custom Home Builder Business.

Since then, Tom and his company ConstrucTom has built over 100 residential dwellings focusing on Custom designs and challenging builds where other builders might shy away.

This is the first in a series where we feature expats that have come down to Costa Rica to live full or part time.  They give you their unique view of what they like about Costa Rica and some of their favorite activities and advice.

Teresa McCullough and Chad Lytle are from Dallas, Texas and originally intended to purchase a vacation property and maybe eventually retire in Costa Rica.  Once they came down here and got to know the ins and outs of Costa Rica they quickly figured out how they could live in Costa Rica full time – even while they are still working in the US.  Among other things they found that to service their clients in different parts of the US it is actually easier to fly out of the Liberia International Airport in Guanacaste, which is only 20 minutes from their house, then it was to fly out of Dallas, Texas.

This is their story
