Hurdles

In the initial phase of planning I came across much opposition. The general consensus was ‘ Much too dear! The developer will get no return on his money!’

Main Reasons: Lack of know how amongst builders and developers: ultimately the building plan has to fit in with climatic conditions on the island. Examples from mainland Europe cannot be simply slotted in here Short-term, materialistic thinking A lack of understanding for ecological problems Lacking legal guidelines Price increases of materials through costly transportation No other comparable building projects of this type on the island Suitable suppliers, possible additional training for managers Convincing local personnel
