After extensive research,thanks to my golf mad hub......there are no 18 hole courses near Coimbra.
Apart from Lisbon,you have Rio Maior,Torres vedras,and Praia del rei near Obidos,thats your lot.We had to change the location of where we bought to accomodate this,otherwise would have gone further north

Hi

As a Golf mad husband I also researched a bit and there are other courses either being built or built, such as Bom Sucesso near Serra D'el Rei (about to open), Royal Obidos (opening end 2009), Sao Martinho do Porto (in planning), Alcobaca (in planning)

I hope this helps

Hi Spider, any progress with your build plans?
yndour, would you please e mail me details on both types of timber houses. Sounds good.
I'm interested in any experiences with planning on timber houses, also timber stables.
Thanks

Will you please also keep me informed.

I'm building cedar log houses for a fraction of this from approved architect drawings can build in 4 to 6 weeks. 6 houses totalling 9 large bedrooms and 900 m2 cost 140,000 Euro instead of 900,000 Euro. Add in cost of fitted kitchens etc but it's a no brainer.

I have been told that timber homes are about 800 euro/sm. Are your log houses still only about 160?

Why was my question deleted? I want information to help me build a wooden house and I only wanted to know if they could be found at the price quoted. I am not toting for business only the help I anticipated this forum would supply

Can we ask why the information about build costs and sensible information about organising a construction project in Portugal that we posted on this thread earlier was deleted?

My husband has more than 20 years experience, not only in the construction industry but also advising self-build projects. At the moment he is working with our local council on development projects. However, we are not 'touting' for construction work or engineering work. Any advice that we give would be free, and would be intended to put people in a better position to proceed with their project.
