So I leave them with the bottle and tell them to try on one tile only to see if that works. At that stage, I wanted to try and clean the tiles first rather than them replacing the tiles and breaking something else in the process. Searching online, I read that some kind of chemical might help (forgot which) so I went and bought a bottle to try on that sanded tile. I stopped him while I searched for a solution. I find the mandor working on one tile with sand paper (!!) and trying to polish it back with wax, yes wax, not even polish. A dozen of 60圆0cm "granit" tiles got stained and thinner would not help but luckily we had just enough left over tiles to replace the stained ones. These idiots fixed the doors but painted them without properly covering the floors. Basically a gap was forming between the panels, eve. The doors started cracking because the wood wasn't dry enough before the construction was finished. First house he built went great, relatively speaking. I don't mean to discourage you, far from it, but you should be prepared and lower your expectations.

It will look great when built but a few months from then it will start going bad and it's too late to get compensation plus a major headache to fix/replace. This is one item where your contractor will screw with you easily, especially if you're not an expert. Because the best woods to withstand this are expensive (will blow your budget) and need to be dried properly to avoid cracking, rotting, etc. From experience, and in retrospective, I would avoid wood for any door, window and associated frame exposed to the elements. Better to catch something messed up when they start messing it up rather than after the fact.Īnother one: wood. Which brings me to the next step: watch and watch and watch during the construction. And even if it matches, there is no guarantee that the correct quantity will end up in your construction unless you watch the workers like an hawk. Nothing like weak cement or over diluted paint. Don't forget about breaks for Idul Fitri and Idul Adha.Īt the same time, when you see paints and cements in your rab, go check the manufacturer's specifications for quantities per sqm or volume and verify that it matches with the quantities your contractor listed for your house. Time frame: add at least 30% more time to whatever agreed time frame for the construction. It's very easy for them to do so.Īlso for payment: payment schedule following construction progress. When you realize it's missing from your house, they will refer to the fact that it was not included and charge you extra for something they promised at the beginning. Contractors will say yes to everything face to face but often "forget" to put it in the RAB. When presented with the RAB (Rencana Anggaran Biaya) which lists all the construction material and service, make sure you go over it several times with a fine brush. Ideally, you want a contractor who has an in-house architect to keep the cost down.

You can also look for double pane windows but then the cost will add up. Thick glass is available just request it with your architect/contractor. You should aim for 4 to 4.5jt per sqm but I don't think you will get anything too fancy. If you need any other advice, I appreciate any input you have. We will first need to demolish the ragged house that is there now, have the land regraded, then build a two- to three-story home on it with a rooftop garden.ĭoes anyone know a trusted architect/engineer/contractor that will work in Tasikmalaya? My cousin-in-law owns a huge firm in Bandung, but they work mostly on commercial buildings, plus he is too busy with his new life as a politician to give us much guidance.ĭoes anyone have any experience in having a home built like this and what it may cost (just ballpark)?Īre there super-thick windows available that will help minimize the outside noise or are they always those paper-thin rattle magnets ? So, I need some advice from those who have experience in this. This allows us to dive straight into the building phase. And, yes, we have the separation of assets (post-nup) agreement being drawn up now - for reference, it cost us Rp 5jt. It's about 90 square meters, so nothing big, but it is worth 1M easy. Well, the unimaginable happened the other day (in a good way) as her aunt announced she was giving us her property in the center of town. 200jt saved and should be just over Rp 300jt by the time we leave, so we were well underway. So, my wife and I are moving back to Indo permanently on (VITAS is already in hand without setting foot in a consular or immigration office, but more on that later), and we were planning to save up for property and build a home over the course of five to 10 years due to the high land costs in her town.
