You sound so excited about your goals and I'm happy for you. Labour costs are indeed expensive in those places, so if you can do a lot of work yourself and have a network, it saves you.
It's crazy how they out-market solar energy in Asia, where the sun is always at a 'premium' just to capitalise on the energy supply.
Another kind of alternative buildings that work in Asia and Africa is yurts. Check out this resort in Siquijor in the Philippines, called Infinity Heights
The structure is like a round permanent tent and you can make it basic or as luxurious as you like, on the inside:)
Yea anything to do with housing they mark up the prices like crazy no regards for average income people here.
I checked the yurts it might work actually it cost around 300+ it's cheap but I need to make sure it can withstand the wind in Sabah my location in Malaysia is the Borneo side most windy compare the other parts of Malaysia.
But I guess can use the bamboo wood to build to strengthen the walls and cement the floor should be good to go thank you so much I have more ideas now for my future house. I'm thinking about making the area for business as well all day breakfast 🥞 restaurant while enjoying the local tenom coffee ☕.
Yurts I need to remember this
Yeah, the possibilities of yurts are endless, and a brilliant option if you plan on making a business of it too:)
Best of luck!
Thank you hopefully by next year I can start 😀
That sounds like a reasonable goal:)
