<em> Are Philippine Building Contractors Trustworthy</em>
Based on my experience over the last year, I would say the old UK adage Buyer Beware rings true. I have had involvement with three different contractors whilst building my house and not one has yet completed the work, the mistake is mine of course as all have been paid.( I will however get what I paid for eventually)
I strongly advise that payment only be made after work has been completed, and even go as far as holding back a sum of the total to cover the guarantee period to fix defects.
For a large project its a good idea to agree on stage payments to be released when various key parts of the project are completed. It can also be beneficial to purchase your own materials and you can quite often get discounts from local suppliers by doing this. I discovered I could get discount from Mega Home in Dipolog city when my builder had to pay full price.
If you pay contractors before the work is completed they will spend the money and then come back with excuses as to why they need more, quite often it is because they have a cash flow problem.
If you are an Expat and married to a local try where possible to let your local partner do the negotiating as "Joe" has lots of money and is good for a rip off. Generally if I am planning on purchasing a large item, I will find a source and check it out and then a few days later send my other half in to negotiate and do the final purchase.
