    Very poor and cheap way of installing a floor, some form reinforcement is needed eg. brc wire mesh. The days of cutting out walls to run conduits are over, that's extra cost u can easily avoid, run all your conduits when the blocks are been layed. Many of the trade men in Jamaica are stuck in the old fashion ways of construction.

    If the prices of building keep going up in Jamaica, I guarantee you will start seeing Hispanics and other people they’re building the house is at a cheaper rate. The people they’re building houses now need to get out of their mind they get rich quick scheme by charging a lot of money.
