    Best video hands down. I buy all the materials myself and I hire people for job work. No contractors. Don't hire the same people to do different jobs. Simple. You can save thousands by not having a contractor

    My architect contractor told me how much it cost, but in the end he squander my money and the house wasn’t build properly and he had most of the money, house wasn’t finished. I had to go over the hold house. Good advice to have someone on site especially people abroad

      Job work is better with day work workers have a tendency to take longer just to make more money, also simple events such as rain can affect day's work which you will still have to pay for.

    It's not that the prices are going up, it's because of the Jamaican Dollar 💲💲 devaluation, the dollar has lost maybe 30%, most raw materials are probably imported, so suppliers are having to pay more for hard currency to make these purchases, timber,steal etc, local materials are probably stable in prices,sand, gravel etc
