Hello everyone. Not sure if this post goes in Real Estate of here, but after reading comments over the past few months, I respect everyone who posts here.
I just recently purchased a small plot of land in Punta Gorda. We are about to complete the deslinde this week and then proceed to submit all the papers to obtain a provisional title. We intend to construct a modest home using ecologically friendly methods and materials as much as possible.
Can anyone tell me what are the next steps, in order, to begin the building process?
We have a general idea of the design, have a great engineer (family member) who is eager to act as the on-site general contractor, and are interviewing architects (2 so far).
But I want to know your opinion on eventually how and where to store the cement and materials, when (and how) to arrange electricity, at what point to secure the water supply, what about the different permissions that will be required. I just am not sure of the order in which to do things.
What would be your suggested order to do everything needed?
Its a very exciting time for my wife (Dominican) and I and we're looking forward to making friends with you all as we spend more and more time in Samana!
