    They seem like a good idea and I suppose the interior can be laid out like a mobile caravan, however if the Brother has a family this may be on the small side for them all at only 15M2 if going for the cheapest option?

    Something very similar can be done with the method I used for the house I built there, I have an idea we may have had communication on this subject before? Using GI Steel C channel to build stud walls to then be clad with Hardieflex is really easy stuff, very quick and does not require a lot of skill, tools required would be a couple of battery Drills and a couple of grinders and even cheap ones from Lazada do the job well, I cannot say this with any degree of certainty but sure this can be done at around 50 to 75% of the cost per M2?

    If I were to do a small Filipino style house I would start by building a carport of around 6x6mtrs to then build a 5x5mtr GI steel channel and Hardieflex clad house underneath this, this would sit on a Monolithic slab, which does tend to be more costly than a standard 4inch one on which to park a car, often these are known as Raft Slabs designed to sit on grade and have the ability to float during a quake if there is ground movement.[/QUOTE]

    When the people of a nation elected the despicable Donald Trump to be their Head of State they brought it upon themselves to be made fun off and have most of the world laughing at them.
