    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 😅😂😂

    Very informative, building a house cause money. I paid $170 for steel last year March,when i reach decking in June,it was at $200k I'm not finished as yet. I should be early next year.

      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

    • @karlblak7500
      @karlblak7500 Рік тому +4

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

    • @MontegoBayTechTalk
      @MontegoBayTechTalk Рік тому

      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
