Delighted to find your blog. I, too, intend to build a home but outside Miri along the sea road up on a hill. My wife bought the land some years ago before I came to Malaysia as a Peace Corps volunteer in the early 1970's. After much searching of the internet, it is apparent that I must find a contractor who has his interests and my interests at heart.
If you have time, I would like to ask you some detailed questions which include payment,access to materials, etc.
Thank you in advance for your pictures.

Jim, thanks for dropping the comments. I'll be happy to help. Please email me at azmirizal_razak@yahoo.com.sg.
However, I must say I am not familiar of how house construction is dealt with in Miri, but in Brunei, in particular my contractor quoted his services in lump sum, and paid on milestone basis.
Regards,
Azmi
