Click https://www.livinginpanama.com/house-building/why-use-concrete/ for the easiest way to build a house in Panama.   Cement, including M2 and Plycem, is the way Milton builds in Panama.   But there are other ways.   Here are some links that talk about building materials in Panama.  Specifically, wood, bamboo, and shipping containers.   There is also a post with suggestions to help you choose the right building material to construct your house in Panama.

Video Transcription

Betsy:  Hi, Milton.

Milton:  Good morning.

Betsy: I know that you have built a house or two and also this hotel, which we're seeing in the background, Heavenly's Hotel

What do you have to say about building a house here, for expats?

Milton: Building is relatively pretty easy.

The process of getting it done is not that bad. If you find you a good contractor, it’s a really smooth process.

Materials are very available to the standard. A lot of it's not gonna be to American standard, but the standard's good for where you're at.

Betsy: Thank you very much, Milton.

Milton: You're welcome. Thank you.
