The History

Not a Papagayo PM & Development Project

This page reflects the personal career history of our founder, José Rodolfo Ortiz, more than a decade before Papagayo PM & Development existed. It is presented here because it is a meaningful part of his professional background, not as a claim of Papagayo PM & Development involvement.

In 2001, Mr. Ortiz moved to Guanacaste and became Director of the Construction Management team for Constructora EDIFICAR S.A., overseeing construction of the Hotel Four Seasons Resort at Península de Papagayo. After the hotel's completion, he joined Construction Management Services S.A., the project management branch of Ecodesarrollo Papagayo, as Director of Cost Estimating & Cost Control, a role spanning project management and cost control across seven developments at Península de Papagayo, detailed below.

About this page

Founder's history, not a Papagayo PM & Development portfolio piece

Papagayo PM & Development was founded in 2006, as this chapter of José Rodolfo Ortiz's career came to a close; the work described here was his, not the firm's. Papagayo PM & Development did not design, engineer, or manage any of the developments described above: they were delivered under Constructora EDIFICAR S.A. and Construction Management Services S.A. (a branch of Ecodesarrollo Papagayo). We share this history because it shaped the experience Mr. Ortiz brought to founding Papagayo PM & Development in 2006.
