Building a House in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Cost for Construction Materials 2022

Hey everyone, today is an update video on building a house in Jamaica series. This video will highlight the cost of common building materials like steel, cement, sand, blocks etc… Last year I did a video with the same format and you guys truly enjoyed it so I did an update for you all. Not everyone wishes to buy a house in Jamaica so I’m glad to do a video for the persons who are choosing to build a house in Jamaica. Real estate is a booming industry in Jamaica and persons often choose to go with the option of building as it seems more cost effective and you get to create exactly what you want.

[@lornahemmings4487]

Thank you for saying it’s not a Jamaica thing. I do not live in Jamaica and I see the prices going up everywhere so I don’t know why people are acting like it’s only in Jamaica. I hate when people do that. If one can not afford to build a two bedroom house they can stick to what they can afford and take time add on.

When I tell yuh how our good sis put in the work on this video. Mighty God of Daniel thank you girl😭 🙌 🙏🏼

[@meghanffieffer]

Thanks for this video and I think it's cheaper to build your own if you have land these prices plus labour cost is much better and it will be new with no vibration from previous resident cause everyone has a vibration whether good or bad, thanks again my dear. Jamaica deh pon di moov 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Appreciate your update. Understand that what's going on around the world affects the cost of material. Not only material but as basic as food price is on the increase.

I loved this video! So much information that is hard to get. A lot of us out here are clueless and scared too! So this made things feel tangible and possible, still a challenge and feels expensive!!! 😢 but at least we can have an idea of what to prepare for. ❤ about to go binge watch all your videos now 😂

First time watching your video which I find very informative but plz to add the price for 1/4 wire, rendering sand and 2 By 4 by 16 wood, wall nails...thank you

[@lennieadi]

Great looking out Safe Hayeven. You put in a lot of work. Much appreciated. Thank you. Lil tip and a request please. Please keep the price on screen for each item a few seconds longer and may as well give an inclusive price of materials with the tax as my fingers have arthritis and can't keep working a calculator. Many thanks in advance. Keep up the good work. 👊🏾

[@lwjunior2]

Do you have any reputable building Contractors you can recommend in St. Ann?

[@Jonoi876]

Hi Happy new year can you please do new video about cost in 2024 when u got the time please

[@markjames7904]

So sales tax in Jamaica is 15%. So who in their right mind would want to run go back to that 🤔 Extremely informative video 👏

[@safehayeven3273]

You’re most welcome

[@marissaanderson9743]

72,253 in tax is my answer and yep it rough bad. To answer your question the cost is 9000 per square foot to complete your house that price may vary due to inflation but for a regular house 9000 multiplied by the square footage your architect/draftsman told you.

[@Jalexbless]

Hi Marissa. If you have all the building materials for the construction of a 800 square feet house, what would be the cost per square foot?

[@marissaanderson9743]

@@Jalexbless that depends on your finishes my dear

[@reirei7667]

Post the 6" block plz!!?

[@donnatrump1403]

Could have compared with last year prices...🤔 want to see the impact

[@sunyafair4570]

How long is a length of steel?

[@jahmekyah2483]

Loving the video trust me when I started building 1 tone a 1/2 steel was under $80.000.00 Just the other day I paid $183.000.00 for the same amount of steel as a Jamaican living outside Jamaica it would be nice to know the full price of the item quoted including (G.C.T) for example the 1 tone of steel was $159,130.00 b4 tax. (G.C.T) =$23 ,869.50 all together is $182, 999.50. This was paid on the 15/06/2022 from a popular hardware in Westmoreland

[@Contentment876]

Now it $197,000 in Montego Bay some place selling a tun of steel for $205,000

[@rdphotographyjm]

$138,000 inclusive of tax in 2024 ( St Elizabeth)

[@sheffieldsmith2118]

60.000

[@sharona7428]

Now I see why it takes so long for the average Jamaican to build their house😢😳

[@tweetyslife253]

It takes long because Jamaican actually owns what they have other than in my country or the USA, people have it all but owns nothing. Like having loans that they paid for over 30 years. In jamaica people live within with what they earn, the vast majority.

[@rickydonkswalker5675]

Hate hear the word plus tax need the final price empress but good content tho👍

[@violetanderson4427]

The tax is 16.5 percent so it will be $79,479.41.

[@safehayeven3273]

Too high

[@safehayeven3273]

It’s 15%

[@oneciarowe2456]

Girl I did the math just couldn't get myself to actually write it. God help us. Bible reminds to sit and count the cost before we start building so we will not become a laughing stock.
