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.

Marine-Grade Roofing & Envelope Protection

Aruba's roof envelope is the first surface hit by 30+ mph salt-laden trade winds every day. We install 316-grade stainless steel flashing, marine-spec fasteners, and fiber-cement ridge systems that resist the corrosion cycle that destroys standard roofing hardware within 12–18 months. Every installation is followed by a drone condition inspection so you hold documented proof of your roof's certified status.

Salt-air destroys standard flashing in 12 months. Marine-grade lasts 10–15 years.

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."
