    Im sure alot of people will appreciate this breakdown. It's still akot of money, but it shows you can have a decent sq ft house for around $10M. I know these builders have to make a profit, but geez its too much for most, and they seem to put in the cheapest finishes. Congratulations on your home!

    We are currently constructing our dreamhouse and the prices stated here sound somewhat similar...so far. The cost...2.5 mil to 3.5 sounds about right for a similar sized house. It is scarily expensive to build in Jamaica. We've captured some of these costs over on our channel, Under Construction...it's so good to know we're not buffoons 😅😂😂

    @DreNation090 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I'm glad when my wife and I started construction late last year December and we got steel for $146,500 versus now where it's at 161k. Love the video nonetheless.... Great insights from the Delpratts'

  • @wowfactor2615
    @wowfactor2615 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    • @MontegoBayTechTalk
      @MontegoBayTechTalk ปีที่แล้ว

      You would have to pay them for their time and effort and all the travel back and forth, same as just hiring a reputable builder in the first place. One thing you can do is hire the architect who drew your plans or the structural engineer who drew your structural plans, whichever of them is local to St. James, to oversee your build and confirm what's being built is what was drawn and to the structural engineering standards.

    • @4evahodlingdoge226
      @4evahodlingdoge226 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yup, labour cost are low in Jamaica which is why these real estate prices annoy the hell out of me.

    • @karlblak7500
      @karlblak7500 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@4evahodlingdoge hmmm,so it's clear that these developers inflated the prices to the point of pricing alot of poeple.

    • @MontegoBayTechTalk
      @MontegoBayTechTalk ปีที่แล้ว

      Nah it's about $100 USD per square foot too build in Jamaica, and by my calculations your exchange rate is way off, it's not $52 per square foot in this build in their video, it's about $67 USD/sq ft IF being your own general contractor like they are doing. So those who don't have their expertise to do things themselves or are not even on the island should go ahead and expect about $100 USD/sq ft to build with a builder. More if super fancy with the finishes or large home or both.

    • @grynocologist
      @grynocologist 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not true.most of the material and finishes are imported plus labor is not as cheap as you think.the workers need constant supervision and you might end up losing materials to theft...
