I am a contractor, not a consultant.<br />The consultant appointed was a leading, world class company.<br />So important was the completion of this matter we had direct access to the Minister of the Interior (who sadly passed away) while the work was ongoing, this however did not delay matters.<br /><br />For building and construction standards on Villas I am unable to comment.Graemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-83503080410432526222015-12-16T18:32:55.770+03:002015-12-16T18:32:55.770+03:00Wow, I cannot imagine.

We rented a renovated older farm house in Memphis and the rain came right in. Now that we are back in MN, the house is truly sealed up from the weather. <br /><br />I looked online the rainfall was less than one inch. This should not cause a mess.
