He can tell you all about building homes with cheaper options like hollow blocks etc.
How to select a Philippine home builder?
- Go to the office of your contractor and
ask neighbors how long did they occupy that same office.
- Let the
contractor show you his permits and ask to show a
sample-contract.
- Let your
contractor show you an ongoing project; let him show you how they
work.
- Ask your
home builder some questions about legal matters; can he answer
them?
- Visit another contractor for a 'second
opinion'.
- Can your
home builder communicate by E-mail? Can he start the design process while you
are abroad and does he send you pictures weekly of the progress while building
your home?
- Does your
construction company build with hollow blocks or can they use the 'Latest
Technologies to Build a House or Commercial Building in the Philippines'?
In most cases your Filipina
wife has a relative 'who also build homes'; and because family-ties
are strong in the Philippines she will feel the pressure to hire
him...
If you do not feel comfortable
with the fact that this 'contractor' (who is just a 'foreman' and has no office
nor a contract) might never be able
to comply with the Philippines Construction Law (a 15 year
accountability on structural mistakes like big cracks in your wall) then the
only way to avoid problems is to let us at least build better walls with Solid
Concrete instead of hollow blocks; your local contractor can do the
finishing like tiles, paint etc.
