Before we begin.

Own labour or a contractor in Hargeisa?

A contractor brings a team, the schedule and the responsibility, while own labour saves money but you manage everything.

What should I consider when building in Hargeisa?

Hargeisa is a highland capital with a mild, dry climate and cooler nights than the coast. The milder highland air means less salt exposure than the coast, so standard finishes and frames last well, while the cooler nights make good roof insulation worth the cost.

Which is safer from abroad?

A contractor, because you cannot manage labour day to day while overseas.
