CB... Love to see the pics eventually and thanks for the phone # and leads. Let me know if you do manage to find aq great Maestro and i will do the same.
I am in no great rush to build and can wait until I meet Mr. Right.

Houses built by 'maestros de construcción' look like typical Dominican houses and if that's what you want, some of the 'maestros' are great in organizing everything for you.

An individually designed house will need the work of an architect who knows about the culture and the ideas of his client.

However..... a good maestro can follow the plans/designs.

Keep in mind that cocoleka has a family member which I assume would do the plans, then it could be really easy for a good Maestro to follow.

That is what I did for our house in JD,,, we payed the arch RD$ 60,000 for the plans and permits(beautiful plans) he even made the pool and landscape plans,,,, then we had few Ing. which it didn't work for us....so now we are looking for a good Maestro to continue.

I gave the opinion for the house up in Sanchez as it worked for what my sister wanted,,,, a place to sleep, cook some meals and drink at nigth time sitting in the porch watching the moon and the mountains while going to different beaches/attractions in the area during the day, like El Limon, Las Galeras, LT, the whales and so on.
