frosty (chris) Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Well one thing for sure, if and a big if ever I was thinking of building a house in the PI, after reading these posts it sure has put me off even considering the prospect. I had built a few houses in my past life and that was bad enough, here sounds like your worst nightmare, thank to all for being so honest and frank, maybe I will just buy a place, in her name of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh Chris but even buying a new house you can come across shoddy workmanship. Catch 22 I am afraid.I think when I build I will have to be on site all day every day or do the work myself.

Yes I realise that, as I said in a past life I built a few houses, on one I went to check the house with the site foreman and somehow the brickies had built a wall that wasn't in the right place or even on the plans and that was just the start. Have a friend that paid 7mil pesos for his house and from what I have seen inside and out, the workmanship seems to be top class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
