The Certified Difference

The Difference Between a Builder
and a Certified Partner

In Aruba, most construction is done by informal operators who cannot access the ELMAR CE Portal, cannot sign a DTI inspection card, and cannot protect your insurance validity. Ger-Conprojects is built to be the opposite of every risk they represent.

PAC Code & KN Number Active

Direct ELMAR CE Portal Access

We don't 'know a guy' at the utility. We are authorized digital users of the ELMAR CE Portal — generating your PAC codes and KN service numbers legally, linked directly to your property deed.

95%+ First-Submission Rate

DOW Administrative Mastery

DOW rejects over 250 permit sets annually due to documentation errors. We deliver coordinated architectural and MEP drawings reviewed against 2025 ROPv standards before submission — 95%+ first-submission approval rate.

316-Grade Stainless Certified

Marine-Grade Material Specification

Standard 304 steel pits within months in Aruba's chloride environment. We exclusively specify 316 marine stainless and powder-coated aluminum — built for the next decade, not the next season.

Documented Inspection Trail

Investor-First Transparency

For offshore clients, we serve as your eyes on the ground. Every project milestone is documented with high-resolution site audits and DTI-signed inspection cards — your property, fully visible from 5,000 miles.

Bank & Notary Compliant

AML/CFT & Notary Ready

We maintain the document-keeping standards required by Aruban law. Your property remains a clean asset for future resale, bank financing, or insurance audit — with a complete, signed paper trail at every stage.

Why Material Grade Matters in Aruba

Material Type Performance in Aruba Our Commitment
Standard 304 Steel Pits and rusts within 6–12 months due to chloride exposure. Used by unlicensed contractors to lower initial cost. ❌ Not used

Property Maintenance That Fights the Island Climate

Aruba's salt air, UV intensity, and 85% humidity attack every exposed surface continuously. Our structured maintenance program covers HVAC hygroscopic salt-neutralizing rinses (bi-annual), plumbing salt corrosion checks, exterior seal inspections, and hardware replacement cycles — all documented so your insurance provider and property manager have a verifiable maintenance trail.

Peak-season HVAC failure is the #1 reason 4.9-star ratings drop overnight.

We are authorized ELMAR CE Portal users. Every installation we complete is submitted with your PAC code and KN number active, followed by DTI certification and permanent meter connection within 5 business days of approval. We also engineer your electrical capacity (kVA) to handle the demanding loads of North American-style AC systems and pools without grid failure or circuit trips.

Non-certified electrical work is the #1 cause of insurance claim denial in Aruba.

Exterior Painting for Homes & Commercial Buildings

Standard house paint fails in Aruba's combined UV and salt-air environment within 18 months. We apply high-build elastomeric coatings and marine-grade epoxy primer systems on residential and commercial facades — bridging hairline cracks before moisture penetrates and resisting chloride infiltration that standard paint cannot. Result: a facade that holds up for 5+ years, not one season.

One proper coat now versus three emergency repaints over five years.

Roofing That Survives Aruba's Trade Winds

Aruba's 15–20 knot trade winds drive rain through the smallest roof breach, leading to hidden structural rot and mold that destroys interiors. We install 316-grade stainless steel flashing, marine-spec fasteners, and fiber-cement ridge systems with capillary-break waterproofing — followed by drone condition inspection and a signed documentation package for your insurance provider.

One failed roof seal during a storm can cancel an entire peak season of rental income.

Common Questions

What Property Owners in Aruba Need to Know

Straight answers to what Aruba property owners ask most.

What does a certified general contractor in Aruba do?

Ger-Conprojects & Developers Aruba is a DTI-validated general contractor and ELMAR CE Portal-registered electrician serving residential and commercial property owners across Aruba. They manage the full project lifecycle — from DOW building permits and specification drawings to marine-grade construction and post-certification maintenance — ensuring every property is legally connected, insured, and environmentally fortified against Aruba's salt-air conditions.

Unlike unlicensed 'boto-boto' operators who lack ELMAR CE Portal access, Ger-Conprojects carries valid PAC codes and KN numbers, enabling permanent meter connections and DTI-certified inspections (Keuringsbewijs). This means your property's insurance remains valid, your utility grid connection is permanent, and your asset's resale value is protected with proper documentation.

How do I get an ELMAR electrical inspection approved in Aruba?

ELMAR electrical inspections in Aruba require a licensed contractor with a valid PAC code and KN number registered in the CE Portal. Ger-Conprojects manages the entire DTI validation chain — from trench inspection (Gleuf Keuring) to final meter connection — typically completing permanent meter installation within 5 business days of DTI approval, bypassing the standard 8-week permit backlog.

The ELMAR CE Portal digital mandate (2025) means that any contractor not registered in the system cannot legally submit inspection requests. Without portal access, your permanent meter application cannot be processed — leaving your property technically off-grid. Our active portal registration and 95%+ first-submission approval rate ensures your project moves from inspection to connection without delays.

How do I protect my Aruba rental property from salt-air damage?

Protecting a rental property in Aruba from salt-air corrosion requires 316-grade marine stainless steel fasteners, UV-resistant high-build exterior coatings, fiber-cement siding, and bi-annual HVAC salt-neutralizing rinses. Ger-Conprojects' Aruba Asset Integrity Protocol extends standard material lifespan from 3–5 years to 10–15 years, reducing long-term ownership costs by an estimated 50% and protecting peak-season rental revenue from mechanical failure.

With over 4,000 active Airbnb listings in Aruba and an average occupancy rate of 78%, a single week of mechanical downtime during the Christmas/New Year peak can cost owners $1,500–$3,000 in lost revenue. A $200 bi-annual salt-neutralizing rinse prevents a $5,000 HVAC replacement. Our preventative maintenance protocol protects your 4.9-star rating by catching failures before they become guest reviews.

Our Process

The Aruba Asset Integrity Protocol

A four-phase methodology built to protect your investment from the first inspection to the final certification — with no gaps in documentation.

Foundation

Audit & Inspect

Before any work begins, we conduct a Property Asset Integrity Audit — documenting electrical health, structural salt-air vulnerability, DOW/ELMAR compliance status, and insurance risk exposure. You receive a written baseline before we spend a single dollar of your money.

Compliance

Permit & Validate

We prepare and submit your DOW specification drawings against 2025 ROPv standards, managing your SR number, revisions, and ELMAR CE Portal registrations. Our 95%+ first-submission approval rate means your project is never held up by preventable rejection.

Execution

Fortify & Construct

Construction is executed using 316-grade marine stainless steel, fiber-cement materials, and UV-resistant high-build coatings — selected to outlast standard specifications by a factor of three in Aruba's salt-air environment. Every material decision is documented.

Certification

Certify & Protect

Final DTI inspection sign-off, Keuringsbewijs issuance, and permanent ELMAR meter connection are managed through to completion. You receive a certified property with valid documentation protecting its insurance standing, utility connection, and resale value.

Service Areas

We Know Every Corner of Aruba

From the luxury villas of Malmok to the commercial properties of Oranjestad — Ger-Conprojects is Aruba's island-wide certified technical partner, not a project-by-project import.

Noord

Coastal High-Risk

High-density vacation rental zone with constant utility load fluctuations. Requires DTI-certified kVA upgrades and high-performance HVAC systems to protect guest comfort and maintain 4.9-star ratings during peak Aruban heat.

Malmok

Coastal High-Risk

Direct exposure to salt spray on a hard limestone shelf topography. Requires 316 marine stainless and specialized excavation for foundations on the Malmok shelf to prevent settlement. Maximum wind-driven corrosion on west-facing facades.

Eagle Beach

Beachfront Critical

Maximum UV intensity and extreme chloride concentration in the air. Facades degrade within 18 months with standard paint. We specify high-build elastomeric coatings and powder-coated aluminum as the minimum baseline for beachfront envelope protection.

Oranjestad

Commercial Hub

Urban site constraints with strict DOW Welstandcommissie aesthetics requirements for commercial and mixed-use footprints. Our permanent office here provides direct proximity to ELMAR and DTI offices for fast-track permit coordination.

Paradera

Inland Residential

Located on the Aruba Batholith with less permeable quartz diorite soil. Requires advanced drainage engineering and foundation waterproofing to manage higher runoff rates and prevent the groundwater infiltration typical of this central region.

Santa Cruz

Inland Residential

Central island terrain with traditional soil compaction and inland wind exposure. Focus on two-story villa structural framing engineered for inland wind conditions and custom foundation specs for the local soil profile — not the same as the coast.

The Regulatory Void — What Your Current Contractor Might Not Tell You

In Aruba, a contractor who is not registered in the ELMAR CE Portal cannot legally submit for a permanent meter connection. Without a permanent meter, your property's utility connection is temporary — meaning your insurance policy may be invalidated on the basis of non-compliance. The Regulatory Void is not hypothetical. It affects properties across Noord, Eagle Beach, and Malmok that were built or renovated by non-CE-Portal contractors before the 2025 ELMAR digital mandate. If your property was touched by an unlicensed contractor in the last 10 years, a Ger-Conprojects Property Asset Integrity Audit will tell you exactly where you stand.

Insurance dispute resolved

"Our insurance carrier flagged our Eagle Beach property for a compliance audit after a claim. Ger-Conprojects' Asset Integrity Audit gave us the documented baseline we needed to respond — and they identified a structural salt-air issue the original builders had concealed under the render. That report saved us from a $40,000 dispute."
