Hi All

We are currently living in Samana and are in the process of buying land to build a house between Samana and las galeras. Much of the land we like is fairly high in the hills with some great views. Problem is a lot of the land is very rock with perhaps only a foot or so of soil before solid rock. I need an architect to help design the project and also wondered if anyone knows about building on rock? Does it add to the total cost of build? Should I avoid rock?

Thanks very much.

Try Ellen or Andy

Try and find Ellen Burr. She has a house in that area and knows a lot about building...You might find her at the Las Olas Internet Caf? in Saman?..

Likewise, seek advice from AndyB out in Las Galeras, sincehe has done a lot of construction there and can be trusted to steer you right.
