I am interested in how long the procedure of obtaining building permits takes in other towns/cities in other countries outside SCG?Here, the time scales are really excessive and people are extremely unsatisfied........

In Cape Town the process can take anything from one to 18 months, depending on the departures (variances) involved, and the neighbours' attitudes. The problem is that the municipality isn't legally equipped to change codes generally agreed to be harmful, and instead tries to encourage people to apply for departures. The result is that perfectly everyday projects have a lot of departures and appeal processes and red tape, which takes forever and would cause me to age before my time if I couldn't pay other people to worry about it.

It is hard to get a visa to the UK too, which I'm trying to do.  Could you possibly get your former NYC employer to sponsor you for a work visa?  That would be your easiest (legal) route.  Good luck, I LOVE NYC!  (But everyone should leave before they become bitter and hard.)

I believe that you are asking from the UK.  I am almost positive that your 'parkhold' is dealt with under the same rules as Landlord/Tenant disputes for ordinary dwellings. See the Citizen's Advice Bureau or a Solicitor.  However, have you spoken to your 'landlord'.  There may well be a good and proper reason for making the move, ie., your safety, the safety of others, the provision of better amenities etc.

They are really Cheating You.I have Experiance of dealing with Biggest(Emmar) to smallest property developers.They always lie about the availability and in most of the cases they would say 60% sold Where actually they has booked only 30%-40% and sometimes just 5%.they do it to build the confidence of buyer in their prop.And the prices pleas take help of a good real estate agent ,Try with two they may give you comparitive market analysys.Which really helps.About Evaluation do it in this way price of Site/land per sq.ft/sq.mtr.Price of Construction per Sq.ft/Sq.mtr.And the kind of ameneties they are offering in the place.Hopes this helps.

No offense, but why would you want to?  If the nearby city is developing, anyone in the village who wants to be "developed" can just move to the city.  You're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.  To answer your question though, I would start by getting them a bunch of books to read.  Get easy to read story books to get them all literate and interested in reading.  Then get textbooks so they can learn something useful.

shouldn't take more than a week or so, I sold a house in the UK, and everything, from offer to final signing was in less than 4 weeks, so it definitly shouldn't take longer than that. In fact I believe that the rules are to be changed, and the seller will have to have these searches done before the house is put on the market.

Are you really a designer??.. Don't you know Bolivia is a country with many cities? it isn't a hamlet or a village. Of course there are architects and universities...if you plan to go, good luck (you will need it... architects do an incredible job here)

If you come from Mexico you may have to wait your whole life after you apply.  If you have money to bribe mexiacan officials, you can make the process go faster, but there are quotas and tens of millions who want to come.  So people think, shoud I go across and risk arrest, or let my kids live in awful poverty for the next 10-20 years?  Obviously the choice is not too hard.

Could just sit in the middle of London and beg lol. Think! Hundreds of thousand of people go through it everyday, ok so you might not make a million straight away but i reckon if you had big puppy dof eyes you could swing it in a couple of months lol!

First find out if you can do so. Many municipalities are very strict in permitting this activity (neighbors don't like it)

Is it difficult to find good masons to hire to perhaps get this job completed? Have you sat down with the general contractor to explain the impossibility of this deadline? I can't imagine you have a million reliable masons in town that they could go with if you can't meet this deadline. I happen to know here in Tucson, AZ, finding a reliable mason is darn near impossible.  Have you signed a contract with the general? If so, I can't imagine it doesn't have something in it that says you cannot meet original deadlines if other subs hold up the project. If the general is not willing to understand the impossibility of their deadline, perhaps you want to pull your company from the project.\n\nADDITION AFTER YOUR EMAIL TO ME: This situation with your general seems really shady to me. I would think the State Board of Contractors would be interested to hear from your husband. I wonder if this Texas company should even be doing projects in your state. They obviously know nothing of your climate! (Not sure where you are located)  The company I work for is so upstanding and reasonable, this situation just sounds unacceptable to us.  It sounds to me like you should pull out from the project, but after speaking to your local contractors board. I wouldn't deny other work coming to you for this unreliable and obviously unqualified general contractor. I'd be afraid you wouldn't even get paid unless you put a lien on them. They don't sound ethical to me.  What did the contractor say when your husband mentioned getting a lawyer?

My husband and I were faced with the question to build our first home, or just buy.  After talking with plenty of friends who have or are building their home, and doing some research on it - we decided to buy a brand new home instead.  \n\nThe biggest complaints I heard was getting all those permits... water,  sewer, utilities, building... the list goes on.  (Where I live - which is cheap compared to most places, each permit is no less than 500$)\n\nI don't want to discourage you though... perhaps you have a bit more patience than us!  I would just do all the research you can do for the area you live in.  Ask around.

Your modesty is like your home town, completely underwhelming. Judging by the lack of replys, nobody gives a shite.                                                                                                  PS. I stayed in Ormskirk for a month, one weekend.

I've never heard of a site which shows construction permits awarded.  In some cities/counties, there is a newspaper classified section which lists them.  I would think that, in many places, the number of permits given is just too many to print.\n\nIf I needed that information, I would go to the County records and ask for a list.

the refusal to assimilate; why should we bend over backwards to accommodate foreigners? no other country does that---and the whole illegal entry factor; it's not hard to get into this country, all we ask is that you pay your money and go through the established procedures; sure that could take a while but SO WHAT! lots of people have done that for a long time and effectively earned the right to live and work here. unfortunately i have had experiences like this and it really toasts my waffle! why should citizens of this great nation have to be subjected to such frustration! i don't remember reading that amendment in the Constitution...
