Can someone recommend an independent construction oversight person in the Sosua/Cabarete area? I want to hire someone to oversee the construction of a villa in a gated community. I don't live in the DR currently, so I want someone to keep an eye on the construction. I would appreciate if someone could recommend a person like this based on a personal experience.

What are you wanting this person to do, exactly? Be paid to be on-site everyday, all day just watching the build? Or actually be involved in the build like a general contractor?

If you just want regular updates of progress, your realtor usually takes care of that for you. I know in some communities there is a Facebook or WhatsApp group and you could ask for updates from them. Some people are very keen on watching new builds and are happy to share pictures.

Yes, I have someone I can highly recommend. He supervised the remodeling of my apartment about 4 years ago. He is still available if you would like to call him. He is not a local contractor. His name is Marcel Andris.
