Hello All.
We are planning an extension to an existing house which also will involve interior remodelling. While not terribly extensive it will require someone who is qualified and knowledgable.
In our case we do not require someone who speaks English as we speak fluent Spanish.
But I thought to ask for recommendations here.
Basically, we are looking for an engineer/architect who can help us draw up the plans for the extension/remodel and then a builder qualified to carry them out.
Any information, anecdotes, would be appreciated.

Hi Kathy,
Does your son have an email address? We'll be visiting Boquete at the end of this month and I would love to talk to him since I am in search of a builder.
