out house which is for sale in Dipolog city is built on rock with a concrete foundation. The standard construction method locally is to use reinforced concrete pillars with hollow block walls. Problems however can arise due to the quality of the blocks which is not consistent and they will fracture under load, so in the event of an earthquake the walls are liable to collapse leaving only the pillars standing.
Our Dipolog house and lot for sale in addition to being built on rock also has concrete reinforced walls, with the concrete being poured, so that the the walls and the pillars are all tied together so that wall can support some of the load. One other advantage of this method of construction is a smoother finish for both interior and exterior walls.
Since we have lived in the house there have been a few tremors but no damage or cracks have appeared in walls so this method seems successful.
We are at the moment gathering information and planning our removals to Cyprus, its a bit of a gut wrench as we had expected to be here for some time, however our business comes first so move we must.
Till the next time
