I have a been in Nicaragua 14 months and have a construction business in Northern Nicaragua. We are onto our third house build and half way through a restaurant. When I first arrived I was struggling to get flooring options for my clients. A couple of months ago I met a Guatemalan civil engineer in Managua who is importing outdoor and indoor bamboo flooring. I got samples and the quality is as good as I have previously used in Australia. Just thought I would share the information as lots of us come here to build our dream homes and then are met with many limitations. I'm not sure if I can share contact information here but you can email the company [email protected] or have a look at whats happening in construction in the north on www.azulnicaragua.com
