How To Build a House In Barbados, The Stress and Worry Free Way!
Article by Garry Wynters
Building a house is one of the most stressful tasks that anybody can ever undertake, and building a house in a foreign country will take your stress levels to a whole different stratosphere.
Barbados may be a paradise like Caribbean Island and as a result people often allow the feel good factor of being on the Island, cloud their vision when it comes to building a property. It is strongly recommended that you do not allow your heart to rule your head when it comes to making decisions regarding the building of your new home.
The building trade in Barbados, is much like it is in every other country in the world, you will find great builders, bad builders, people claiming to be builders who haven’t got a clue, and worst of all down right rip off merchants.
The beautiful Island of Barbados is full of stories of people from all over the world being ripped off by unscrupulous builders. I personally know of people that have had to spend tens of thousands of dollars to sort out shoddy building work, those were the lucky ones. The unlucky ones are those that have had houses built that are unsafe to live in, and believe it or not it gets even worse! I know of someone in England that paid over 0,000 and all she got was the foundations, when she was expecting a fully built house. They had sent her various pictures throughout the supposed building of the house to reassure her things were moving along smoothly. It was of course not her house in the pictures; she had paid for someone else to have a nice house built.
For those of you that are looking to build a property in Barbados, it is imperative that you have a good architect, trustworthy lawyer, as well as having a top quality building team and project manager. It really is as simple as that, if you want to have a house built to the standard that you expect and not get ripped off by the many sharks that are waiting to steal your hard earned money!
