How to start with construction of my dream house?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good resource to find contractors? I have been looking online and all I have seen are sites where you have to describe the job then wait to get called from a contractor or if I find a directory type of site there is a limited number of contractors in my area, but I know there are many more. I am trying to build my first house and I was planning on hiring all the contractors so I need a good resource to find them. Something with reviews and article would also be very beneficial, please let me know if anyone knows of a good place to look.

Best of luck to you building your first house, it’s an adventure. I would recommend talking to your neighbors and friends and see if they know any contractors they worked with in the past. Since I’m sure you already did that you should try . I found that they have a very easy to use search. They have the biggest list of contractors I have seen to date, plus you can write reviews and read their articles.

I suppose this guy has been boxing and now has some coins to build a small hse in TZ.
Because really houses are built by Tanzanians working in Govt offices and coloured people working/bizzing with them .
I know this contractor who uses fundi mchundos.In the long run you will come to find outside your compound short chingas with nyundos and chepeos and no even a sign board of your contractor.As an advice use a fundi mchundos direct and save those hard earned coins ! I know how the box looks like. Good luck.

KITIA:-
uPVC is more better then aluminium :-

uPVC is RUST Proof -
Aluminium which are sold in DAR and in local Dubai companies are not PURE ALUMINIUM they are MIXED chemical ! SO it tends to get RUSTED

uPVC's Sound proofing is lot more better. Aluminium use RIBITS in joining the corners of the windows, uPVC is specially WELDED in machines.

uPVC is FIRE Retardant- Doesnt spread fire un-like Aluminium we have seen many house and buildings catch fire and all the aluminium starts melting !

Price is almost very SAME like aluminium.
Most countries prefer uPVC until KENYA its famous !

Tanzania tuna ingilia pole pole !

Mkuu smak786110 please educate me, can you weld uPVC(unplasticized

Poly Vinyl Chloride)?

What I know is, you can join uPVC by solvents or fittings!
