The purpose, is I am thinking of building something with the wife for her mum and dad.

We have some land in Butuan City approx 3000sq mtr and 2 hectares overlooking lake mainit.

I’ve decided on the latter as when We come to retirement age the city will just be too hectic.

The lands covered in falcata’ s 5 yrs old. But we’ll cut some down to make way for a property.

My thoughts at this minute are a 4 bed single story.

Any input from people who have done self builds would be much appreciated, highs and low points are welcome.
