    This happened to everyone. Don’t build in Jamaica unless you’re in Jamaica. You will be used and ripped off

    Its better to build in phases, and do so when you are 100% present. You can make 1 or 2 months each year and do it in parts, till its complete. Dont even trust your relatives with your business.

    I'm so grateful for this video and all your other construction videos. I'm building a Villa in Jamaica and I have been handling all money transactions here from Canada . I have purchased ALL my building materials directly from the Building hardware stores in Jamaica from Canada. This will alleviate a lot of the robbery. Don't trust family because they usually team up with the crooks. Great videos 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲

      Thanks for sharing. I've always told people this. I've lived in the US most of my life, don't know what it's like to be an independent adult in Jamaica but I understand it well in the US. One thing for sure is this. When you're buying or building a home in the US you never call up someone, whether a relative or a friend, give him her some money and say go get some material and go build or buy me a house because uou know it's not going to work, so why do so many Jamaicans do it in Jamaica and expect it to work perfectly? Thanks for sharing such solid and sensible information.

    Thank you so much for this video. Funny, entertaining and informative all at the same time. Is di same ting a reach me. I just had to stop all work on my house and fya everybody. I am abroad and building back home in Ja. Everything you said is so true. Dem just want money flowing from "farrin" and don't want to do the work and then bex when yuh seh anything. I only wish you would mention some prices for us over here who have no clue what stuff costs. Not the cost to build the house, but the materials: 1 truck of gravel, sand, cement, ton of steel, etc. I was getting some exorbitant prices for materials from the workers because I had no clue. Until someone pinch mi an tell mi seh di amount of money mi already spen shoulda build 3 houses already and mine only half done. It hurts, but lesson learned. SMH.

    Great content, Mannix. I am wondering which safety precautions are in place when constructing private homes in Jamaica.
    I have witnessed a lot of laborers in unsafe attire. I only make mention of this since I recognized how close the workmen was drilling to his open-toe slippers. Slippers on a construction site😮.
    I thought there is a safety protocol to follow.
    Perhaps since there is no legally binding contract to perform the job, the workers come as they are.

    125 lengths per ton. I just purchased online 2 tons for 104,000 per ton . The best price ever. Guys it's good to buy online; the savings are amazing. Most Hardware stores in Jamaica, now accept online purchases.

    Clearly you are frightened. You are not the first or last this has happened to or will happen to. That is Jamaica. Jamaican construction workers believe they are smarter than everyone else. They are also some of the worst workers and crooks. Also, why the big pictures of your face all over the video? What is that all about?
