We´re doing our own developments so no financial interest in this discussion let me keep that straight, but maybe you can publish here some borongan & material prices of your contractor might be interesting for others?

Take care, marc

Tell me the spec you want and I'll be pleased to give an Indo-Spons blue book price.

Where do you buy your 50N blocks? Holcim or is there someone else?

An interesting little line is " I would rather be looking at it, than looking for it" and comes to mind when building and tendering specs.......

Re 50N Bricks, ever consider this?

One of the many different types of building bricks, limestone bricks are highly popular because of their durability and hardiness. Limestone bricks are one of the oldest types of building materials. Many ancient structures, like the pyramids in Egypt, were built with large limestone blocks cut directly from quarries. Today, limestone bricks are still popular in new construction and landscape elements.

Quarry Cut

One of the reasons that many people will use limestone bricks over other types of building materials is that they are cut directly from quarries instead of being made from powders. Limestone bricks are a natural element that has a tight grain and variety of colors.

Strong and Durable

Limestone bricks, because they are cut from natural stone, are very strong and durable. These bricks will last for many years without any cracks or erosion. When used to form a retaining wall, foundation wall or driveway, homeowners can be very confident that replacement costs are going to be minimal.

Easy to Work With

While the brick is incredibly hard and durable, it is also easy to work with, cut, and install.

Weather Resistant

Limestone bricks are great to work with because they hold up to weather much better than other types of building materials. They must be sealed against water, but they will not expand or crack. Limestone does soak up water after time so a sealant is required.

Less Expensive than Other Stones

When it comes to keeping within a budget, the limestone bricks will help homeowners stretch their dollar value. Because limestone is readily available, the costs are kept low for the consumer.

Great Conductor of Heat

In the warmer regions of the country, limestone bricks is a great conductor of heat. This means that homes that are built with limestone bricks will have a much cooler interior. It is a natural way to keep a home cool without resorting to air conditioning.

Holds Paint Well

The natural colors of limestone bricks are quite nice, but there are times when a homeowner will want to paint over the bricks themselves. Limestone, while does soak up the first coat, will hold paint well for many years. There is less maintenance to the paint with limestone bricks than other types of building materials. Bright colors look the best as it still shows off the grain and texture.

maybe starting a new thread will give you some more replies...
but as a response to your question, it would be wise to meet with an architect... I mean a 8 bungalow resort sounds like a pretty big investment, would be a shame if it's going to be a 'resort' just in name, if you know what I mean.
Alot to think of other then wood or cement bungalows... landscaping/gardens (including the bungalows), swimmingpool(s), positioning of this all in regards of privacy and in regards of other buildings like maintanance/laundry/restaurant, etcetc...just to name a few things to keep in mind.
But if you've already tought of these things...I would like to know, how/what you mean with "more interesting option"?
friendly greetings, gilbert.
