MEXICO CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Construction is subject to various trends and issues as the industry thrives through inevitable cycles. With the advent of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and recent disruptions to global supply chains, more companies are looking to increase foreign direct investment in Mexico and relocate their business and manufacturing operations closer to the United States.
FAST FACTS
Mexico ranks second among top markets for U.S. building product exporters due to its proximity, established transport links and duty-free status.
BUILDING FOCUSES
Bidding processes issued by federal and state governments are the driving force of the most significant projects in Mexico.
The Public-Private Partnership Law allows the government to enter into infrastructure and service provision contracts with private companies for up to 40 years.
Alternate dispute resolution mechanisms are fundamental in specific cases, and legal strategy may be required.
Mexico is rapidly embracing a focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) by joining the World Green Building Council (WGBC) and other international agreements. Attorneys in Holland & Knight's Construction Practice are advising clients on building projects, including:
resorts, hotels and related infrastructure
roads, ports and airports
