I have no idea who built your house Elbert. But I do know that I didn't experience any delays or cost over runs.

Cal and I are extremely happy with our home and guest house.

Didn't Colette and Maya have big problems with their new house? I believe that was a well known local builder.

I greatly appreciate the people on this forum who are helping me find a local builder as I dont think I will be able to micro manage the construction in Belize as I live in BC Canada. Hopefully people dont get mad at what people are saying on here in regards to a good local builder. I am not trying to ruffle any feathers

You are getting the usual naysayers. Ignore them

Don't worry - you aren't ruffling any feathers. People all have different experiences and opinions. And some just enjoy trying to stir up dirt.

If you want to hire a builder that doesn't need micromanaging there are some here on the island. Take this advice - see what they have built RECENTLY, talk to a number of past clients, make sure you have a written contract with every minute detail addressed. You can also consider hiring a construction oversight manager.

Add to Amada's list that you have a very detailed set of drawings, so questions are minimal.

A major problem in any large project including building a house, is the owner changing his mind once the project is underway. It is very important that research is done thoroughly beforehand, detailed plans are drawn up and agreed, and then stuck to.
