Smart, Site-Specific Design from the ChiQ Group of Companies
At ChiQWorld, we believe that every home begins with a strong vision—and that vision should be carried through from design to delivery. That’s why all our residential projects benefit from in-house architectural and engineering services provided by Gatun Lake Construction, part of the ChiQ Group of Companies.
From remote mountain builds to beachfront villas and modular retreat communities, our integrated design process ensures that each structure is efficient, elegant, and adapted to its environment.
Too often, design and construction are disconnected, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunication, or costly adjustments during the build. Our in-house architecture and engineering team solves this by working directly with clients and our modular construction crews from day one.

Whether you’re building on the ridges of Yuma Mountain, beside the waves in Coco Beach, or lakeside in Arenosa—our team understands the unique challenges and opportunities of each terrain.
We specialize in:
High-efficiency modular home design (FRESH Building System)
Coastal and sloped-lot engineering
Tropical climate ventilation and insulation planning
Sustainable water, solar, and off-grid system integration

From minimalist cabins to resort-scale master plans, our architecture and engineering team makes your build smarter, faster, and more resilient.
Because our architecture, engineering, and construction teams are all part of the ChiQ Group, we deliver:
Greater cost and time control
A single point of accountability
Fewer delays and design conflicts
A smoother client experience from concept to completion
Your dream home or development doesn’t need multiple layers of vendors and outside consultants. With ChiQWorld and Gatun Lake Construction, you’re working with one aligned team that designs and builds with your goals in mind.
Our exclusive listings are managed through ChiQWorld, the dedicated property sales arm of the ChiQ Group. Every property we build is thoughtfully designed and expertly marketed to connect with the right buyer.
At ChiQWorld, we believe real estate is more than just property—it's about creating a lifestyle. Whether you're investing, relocating, or looking for your dream home, our clients are at the heart of everything we do.

Panama PortfolioWe stayed in one of the ChiQWorld houses in Yuma and absolutely fell in love with the place. The combination of nature, comfort, and total peace is something you don’t find often. Perfect spot for a quiet getaway, and still not too far from the city. Woke up to mountain views every morning.
