  • This road trip takes us to a construction site with a building contractor from Zen Homes. As we tour a home under construction Mr. Zenel Hassan shares tips about project management, budget management, wastage, and legal considerations homeowners should make when building or buying a house in Trinidad. We also tour a TTD 1.65 million dollar house in Highbury Park, a gated community close to Piarco International Airport.

    What a vlog! It's coherent, cohesive, engaging and informative! This is the kind of content we need from Trini UA-camrs! I'm 20, but this gave me a practical grip on one of those "adult" activities you don't really think about until you get there. Kudos, man. Have me already planning my imaginary home with an imaginary budget 😅

    Their work looks very neat i must say one thing to keep in mind i noticed steel windows were used these tend to roth really quick aluminum would be the best option cheaper and last longer

    • @lyndonbaptiste
      @lyndonbaptiste  Рік тому

      Thanks for the tip. I'll find out more about your suggestion. I imagine security is a consideration; of course, you can couple aluminum with security grates.

    Look at that roof it's not built right the hip and valley aren't right 😒.
    And in trinidad there is not trim work no casings no baseboards the kitchen is concrete.
    What trinidad needs are trade schools they don't have experience in finishing concrete.
    If they build steps they will strip it down the next day madness..
