Power grid and poles
Grid design, ANDE paperwork, poles and cabling for each lot. See the service →
INFRASTRUCTURE
Power, paving and water for your subdivision, with one team
We design and build the power grid with poles, the stone paving and the drinking water, and we manage the whole project. You deal with a single point of responsibility.
Last updated: September 29, 2026
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Four services, one point of responsibility
Stone-paved streets
Opening, grading, drainage and stone paving of the subdivision's streets. See the service →
Drinking water
Connection to the network, a sanitation board or your own system with an artesian well and tank. See the service →
Project management
We direct the paperwork, works, costs and schedule, and keep you informed at every stage. See the service →
We also do the clearing, stump removal and cleaning of the land and of the street strips, and the field marking of lots and street axes with stakes and concrete markers according to the approved plan.
WHAT THE LAW SAYS
Which works the law requires and which depend on your municipality
The subdivision chapter of the Municipal Organic Law (Law 3966/10) sets the minimum. Once the Municipal Board approves the subdivision, the owner has 30 days to mark each lot with boundary markers, carry out any required drainage works, open and clear the streets, and adjust the grades (art. 246, as amended by Law 5346). Streets must be at least 16 meters wide, including sidewalks (art. 229), and the municipality determines the layout (art. 248).
The law does not by itself require paving, asphalting or installing power or water networks. That may be required by each municipality's ordinance, and connection to services depends on ANDE, ESSAP or SENASA depending on the area. That is why every project starts with a consultation: what your municipality requires and what feasibility each body grants.
One rule worth keeping in mind: lots cannot be sold unless the final approval resolution is registered (art. 246 f). Plan the works and the sales calendar with that in mind. Also review the requirements for a subdivision in Paraguay.
HOW WE WORK
From the consultation to handover of the works
- 1. Preliminary consultation. We review your title and plan, and ask the municipality and the utilities what they require for your area.
- 2. Design and quote by item. Power grid, paving and water are quoted separately, so you see what each part costs.
- 3. Approvals. We file the designs with ANDE, ESSAP or SENASA, MADES if applicable, and the municipality.
- 4. Works. We carry out and supervise the work in the order that avoids breaking what is already done, for example laying networks before paving.
- 5. Acceptance. We coordinate the inspections of each body and the handover to the municipality.
- 6. Management. While the project lasts we control costs, deadlines and paperwork, and you receive progress reports.
HOW TO HIRE
You choose how to work
By service
You hire the design and the works you need, at a price agreed in writing. You keep 100% of the land and of the sales.
Project management
You finance the works and we direct the paperwork, works and control for an agreed fee.
Partnership
You contribute the land and we contribute the design and its execution, with a sharing of results defined in a contract.
How to choose
It depends on whether you need liquidity, whether you have capital to invest and how involved you want to be. We discuss it based on your specific case.
HOW MUCH IT COSTS
The cost is set by the land, not by a general rate
We do not publish prices per lot or per hectare because the cost varies a lot with these factors: meters of street, number of lots, distance to the nearest power and water networks, soil type and topography, and the level of finish your municipality requires. We prepare a quote by item after seeing your land and your plan.
If you want to estimate the infrastructure cost and the viability of the project on your own, use the reference plans or ask for an economic feasibility analysis.
COMMON MISTAKES
What tends to get expensive
Selling lots too early
Without the registered final resolution, lots cannot be sold (art. 246 f). Starting to sell earlier exposes the owner to legal problems.
Opening streets without checking the layout
The layout is determined by the municipality (art. 248). A street opened outside what is approved may have to be redone.
Designing the network without consulting ANDE
The materials and the design of the network are approved by ANDE. Poles or cables that do not meet its standard are rejected.
Paving first and digging trenches afterwards
Water and power should be laid before paving. Breaking up a finished street doubles the cost.
FAQ
Before hiring the infrastructure
Do you do the design and also the works?
Yes. We design and build the power grid with poles, the stone paving and the drinking water, and we manage the whole project. You can hire everything together or in parts.
Does the law require paving the streets of a subdivision?
The subdivision chapter of Law 3966/10 requires opening and clearing the streets, adjusting grades and carrying out any required drainage works, but it does not set a type of paving. What is required is defined by each municipality's ordinance.
How wide must the streets be?
At least 16 meters, including sidewalks, and 32 meters for avenues (art. 229 of Law 3966/10). Subdivisions next to highways must provide a parallel internal street.
How long does subdivision approval take?
By law, the Mayor's Office has 60 days for provisional approval and the Municipal Board another 60 for final approval, and if they do not respond it is deemed approved (art. 245, as amended by Law 5346). The owner then has 30 days for the obligations of art. 246. The timelines of ANDE, ESSAP and MADES are separate.
Do I need an environmental impact study?
Subdivisions are among the works that require an Environmental Impact Declaration under Decree 453/13. We tell you what to file with MADES in your case. We prepare the environmental impact study (EIA/RIMA) under Law 294/93 and manage its approval with MADES.
Can I hire just one part, for example only the water?
Yes, each service is quoted separately. Even so, it is best to coordinate all three so the works do not get in each other's way.
Do you have a subdivision to equip?
Tell us the location, the area and the status of the project and we will tell you what is needed and where to start.
