Thank you for sharing a contact.  Sorry for the late reply, it's a bit of a challenge to navigate this forum.

If you are here in Cebu or near, we would love to get together for a visit.

@Lothar Scholz

Ty, I will try this.

The house is on Biliran Island. I do visit Cebu on occasion but I'm currently in the US. I'll be back in the Philippines early next year.

Did you get in contact with the builder? He goes by JR and was actually born in the barangay where our house is located.

If you are looking to build a single story house the foreman who built our two story house and my in laws bungalow could handle that if you could sketch out what you have in mind. His name is Lido and he builds parking garages so single story homes are a piece of cake. I sketched out my in laws bungalow and he took it from there. I could contact him for you if you're interested. Lido lives in Cebu.

Link to photo of bungalow, entering the URL link to display an image doesn't seem to be working.

YouTube video of our main house. The first part of the video is a slide show of the construction. The rest is my wife showing off her plants. If it doesn't start at the beginning just use the scroll bar to back it up. Thanks

I've been traveling within the Philippines, family functions.  Thanks for your update.

I have on several occasions attempted to contact the builder, but we have not connected as of yet.

Yes, I would be interested in connecting with Lido.

I have a two story and will add an additional floor.  From the structural analysis, there are no difficulties constructing this addition. 

Again Thanks

Beautiful home by the way.

Here is a bit of an update of our progress.  We have secured an Architect, and submission for permits are scheduled to take place by the Dec 6, 2024.  With so much time on my hands, to keep my focus, I began constructing a model of the planned home.  Though I have 3D rendering capabilities with my software, I will say that the model allowed me greater insight options.  I've attached this, where it may be helpful for someone planning for their home.  Any thoughts shared would be welcomed.

Looks great, Tim, but why such a large home?

PS - I like your lot - nice to have some views.

@pnwcyclist

We can certainly be comfortable in a smaller space.  I'm working with an existing floorplan that simply wouldn't work.  The property was a foreclosure, and my design experience took over.  When I moved here, my wife didn't want me to leave anything back in the states.  So, two containers later, we need the space.   I was fortunate in that Design and Construction was my business in Florida.  I was able to ship most of the interior materials that I will use for the home.  It is also an investment for the future.

Tim

Wow, two containers full, haha. I guess you're committed!

Great that you have the experience and can manage the project.

Cheers

I had been coming here for a while, wife decided to live here over the US. My furniture was practically new and paid for.  We spent months window shopping and the cost of purchasing similar furniture surprisingly cost quite a bit more than shipping mine.  The second container had extra space, so I shipped Cabinets, Plumbing, Electrical and other construction materials.  I closed my Design Showroom and business down, and many of the display items are perfect for our renovation.  Our plumbing fixtures and compatible items are new. 

A follow up for you on the house size.  The lower ground is only a small portion of the house footprint.  I have decided to make that space our family entertainment area; it will be helpful in controlling the visiting kids so that they won't be all over the place. 

Once we get started, I plan to show the progress.

Thanks for reaching out.
