Hi, We are moving to live in Merdanya, near VT as soon as We sell our house in Wales. We purchased a cottage last year. Can anyone recommend a good reliable builder. I need to convert an out building into living accommodation and re-surface patio and garden paths. Thanks :-)

:top: Fab, thanks for that, i will check out the Facebook page now. Hope all goes well with your move. As soon as our house sells we will move, but so far there hasn't been much interest :-( frustrating, because I want to move during the good weather, not in midst of winter!

Hi Guys

We live in VT well just outside we have a builder that we use and trust 100% his name is Tim if you need him please get in touch.

Please be aware of a couple called Dimitar (Bulgarian)and Fran(French) they will come across very friendly and helpful but they will rip you off and use poor. They hunt down English people in bars and restaurants.

Just a note of caution - get prices for jobs before they are started, otherwise you may find costs spiralling out of control!

Try and get someone local so you can project manage and can contact them if anything goes wrong.  We've been left with a half finished house that we've had to get repaired ourselves resulting in duplicate costs etc, mainly due to our lack of experience.  Got a great local builder now though so all should be well!

Hello everyone,

@Kosarka,

Can you please add your contact in the Construction and renovation in Bulgaria section of the website ?

This will surely benefit other members if they need any professional.

Thank you in advance,
Bhavna

Hi sorry for the intrusion on your post hope you don’t mind, my name is Dave and I am a builder from England in Kent we are planning to move out to Bulgaria this time next year and I will be doing the same sort of work when we get there, I am coming out there again on the 30th August this year and would be happy to take a look if that’s something you are willing to agree to?
I have been a builder for over 30 years and have a really good reputation as a builder and a teacher of the building trade
Kind regards Dave
