Building Homes in PR

19POSTS

3 years ago

I'm in the process of building in Aguadilla. Little that we knew, the builder told us that we are responsible for the preparation of the land which includes the cleanup and leveling of ground before we can begin construction.

Does anybody know of any contractors that cleanup and level the ground to get land ready for construction?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Is any one supprised!! Bottom line on building here permits forget it you won’t live to see it if you don’t run outta money first. Contractors …..ugh yeah 10 years haven’t met one yet that isn’t trying to “get over” . My advise by existing vacant homes and if you can fix yourself. The reality is you are Donald Trump in everyone’s eyes here. You were born wealthy and entitled ok? Once you accept that is the consensual view of you from the local’s perspective then you might just might survive here without going bankrupt. After covid there was a huge influx of expats flooding the island buying vacant properties that local could have bought all along if they weren’t investing in crevasse and stereo speakers. But since you came along and made a “Airbnb” you are considered a tax evader or colonizer. Once you accept you are looked at as though there is a $ symbol on your forehead you will always be extorted. Trust NO one and I mean NO one the “Getn over” is genetic your not changing that unless your giving your money to someone then of course you have a bond until they’ve drained you. If your gonna make it PR you better have a PHD in street smart or this life isn’t going to work out.
