No mobile homes in the Philippines

[Old55]

Thanks guys so now we know the topic answer! :attention: The reason there are no mobile, modular or few container type homes in Philippines is because of the rice drying along one lane of a 1 1/2 lane road and the many street vendors encroaching every major streeet.

You won't see any mobile/portable homes in the Philippines, but you will see them over or under the bridges and in the water! http://www.demotix.c...r-citys-bridges

a hollow block in its self is not very strong but fill it with cement and rebar than try and send your hand thru it, it is actually a form for the cement, add cement on both sides and it is really not a bad form of construction, they have been here a long time, with beams four feet in ground with a 3x3 foot and colums around the outside and a center beam they will take about all you can expect, granted a solid cement wall is stronger with the proper rebar.

Hi guys .. still pretty new here but loving the posts.Seriously looking into modular / timber frame buildings for a project I've been asked to join. On the way i'm hoping to develop a personal home as well. There's almost too much info on the web but still quite inspiring never the less. IF you get chance try and download "grand designs" ( torrents on www.kat.ph) Its a Uk TV show but a great way to see the different building methods and styles.Cheers
