justify;\">Building a home anywhere can be a challenge and when you tell home buyers of the option to build a home in Panama, most people run away so fast that they leave their shadow behind!\u00a0 For me and a few friends of mine that have had the experience, we find it quite rewarding to create our dream homes from a blank canvas.\u00a0 In this case, ours is a lot in Panamonte Estates that I acquired earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I recently sold some land up in the higher altitudes of Alto Quiel where a client of mine is now building his dream home.\u00a0 In the process of selling the land, I introduced him to my architect\u00a0 and his Father who are my design\/build team.\u00a0 He wisely selected this same team and his home is now under construction on the 3 acre estate site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">OK, so if you are still with me on building, we have a number of lots in various subdivision that can be purchased at a discount from what the developers originally sold them for as a lot of people started speculating with these lots and or their plans changed and they are willing to take a loss in order to unload the property.\u00a0 I also have estate sized lots of 1 to 1.5 acres with underground utilities, roads and in a gated community for between $195,000 and $368,000.\u00a0 There are also subdivisions where you can still find nice lots for under $75,000.\u00a0 I like one in particular near the mountain home pictured above called Boquete Plantation where you can buy a lot for $88,000 with underground utilities, paved road, basically ready to build.\u00a0 Lots start at a quarter acre and some can be assembled for larger estate development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, here is where the fun begins when your foundation outline boards go up and the lines are drawn tight to set the foundation wall locations.\u00a0 After 3 months of reviewing design drawings and tweaking every detail to limit any change orders, here we are finally, ground breaking time!\u00a0 You need to have some experience in this process and have a really good architect like mine to walk you through detailed 3 D animation of the interior and exterior of the home on CAD (Computer Assisted \/Design) software.\u00a0 It is not cheap but as they say, you get what you pay for and I am really happy that I have limited my anxiety level buy doing all the work that I could up front.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>WEEK ONE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p

justify;\">Our Mediterranean\/Tuscan design came in at under 3,500 square feet of total area and we will have significant upgraded finishes throughout the house, truly our dream home here in Boquete.\u00a0 We have purchased high quality roof tile imported from Spain and high density porcelain floor tiles imported from Italy.\u00a0\u00a0 We are using some flat slate for portions of the face of the house that comes from the interior of Panama and our cabinetry will all be custom made out of Panamanian Almond wood.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Another important part of the home is the window system and we have opted for the German style commonly refereed to by the manufacturer <span class=\"st\"><em>Koemmerling. <\/em>These are<em> <\/em><\/span>Tilt &amp; Turn windows which are manufactured with German Roto  Hardware. These windows can both swing in and tilt in with a simple turn  of an ergonomical handle.\u00a0 We believe that light is the soul of your home and air is the blood so we spent a lot of time on making sure that the windows allow for both maximum natural light and air circulation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Monday we had a full crew on site and my builder pledged to have the home finished in 10 months so we are planning our timeline for acquiring plumbing and lighting fixtures to insure that they are on site when needed, the same will be done when needed for the rest of our appliances.\u00a0 As you can see, the roof tile is already staged in the rear of the site and the floor tiles are in storage as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, as Teddy Roosevelt
