Hello everyone,
Does anybody have a recent and positive experience with bathroom remodels? I am looking for an architect, more than a contractor.
Thanks in advance!

In my experience, the terms
Architect
Contractor
Builder
don’t have exactly the same meaning
as they have in USA.
So do your research!

Thank you, that is why I asked the question
From what I've come to understand the "architect" is both architect and general contractor. The "builder" is just that...he gets the actual work done.
I'm not going to recommend someone without Rob's consent, so no names, but I recommend this guy.
I just had an architect draw up plans for a kitchen remodel and building an entire new 2 story structure. He also provided a budget (estimate) for the project.
He speaks English well, and spent several hours with me as we worked through details. He presented good options regrading up-to-date fixtures and such. Not to sound too HGTV-y but he was able to grasp what I wanted and then improve on it.
For producing two sets of plans, his fee was MX$10,000. (4k up front, and the rest on delivery)

You are welcome to name your builder. That's what this Message Board is all about.

Ing. Jamie Luis Perez Ramirez at No 23 Los Patios in Ixtapa has done extensive work for us over the past decade. I cannot recommend him highly enough. His work is outstanding. From custom built in furniture to intricate tile work and our bathrooms A1 all the way. The attention to detail is impressive.
