The project Villa Padma in 2009 1
The development and progress of the project Villa Padma .
When we went to Bali for the first time we had absolutely no plans to build there.
Just a nice holiday in a villa , that was our plan ......
But , then came the villa management and helpdesk man .
Robbie Drexhage : born and raised in the same village where I was born , hevisited the same high school as my siste.r We sat down and soon emerged a very animated conversation about memories , mutual acquaintances etc.
Robbie lived already for twelve years in Bali , was now married with a Balinese woman and he was in the development and construction of villas in north Bali
The villa where we where was called Villa Manga . In terms of structural finish very moderate
Since my husband and I both have a technical background and have an eye for quality, we thought we can do better .
Together with Robbie we visited some of his projects.
What a difference : very high quality materials and solid construction and a very high degree of finish . And besides , there were building permits , property deeds and notarized actes ... ( There are companies that do not take so closely with all its consequences for the unsuspecting owner .. )
The next step was an extremely secure awareness of how it all works for potential home owners : legal aspects , permits , financial aspects ... before we knew it we went with Robbie to look at plotsof building sites that were for sale .
