When the time comes to have a new home built or to go through a major kitchen, bath or other remodel, the contractor you pick is your most important consideration. This is true at home, as well as in a foreign country where you are moving or want a second home.The problem is, just about every country in the world has different construction standards. And also have different work standards and rules. Here in Panama, our “construction rules” are definitely unique.
This can make it extremely difficult to choose a contractor. As a foreigner, picking the right contractor can be even more difficult. But it is also even more important. In the US, you might be used to checking out state agencies for licensing. And then going to the Better Business Bureau or state Attorney General’s office.
But many countries don’t have these agencies available, so you are left to rely on your own devices in picking a design & build contractor. Here are 3 rules you can follow that will help. No matter where you are in the world.
