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!

[@AUTHENTICVIBESWITHMAUREEN]

very yrue

[@joanedwards3321]

It’s tough being your own contractor, but it’s worth it.. your hard work has paid off, wishing you both tons of blessings 🙏🏽

[@joanedwards3321]

Blessings 🙏🏽

[@michellegove]

These kinds of videos really make my day. I love honest, genuine people who are transparent.

[@underconstructionJAM]

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 😅😂😂

[@AnotherVieew]

There is an easy way to estimate building projects, its square footage(sqft) x $8000or $10,000

[@wowfactor2615]

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.

[@DreNation090]

I'm glad when my wife and I started construction late last year December and we got steel for $146,500 versus now where it's at 161k. Love the video nonetheless.... Great insights from the Delpratts'

[@dell7990]

Buy a cement mixer and a steel rebar tie gun, Dry stack the blocks no mortar with steel rebar. Mix and pour cement in the hole of the blocks. No showel need, the cement bag has instructions how to mix, cement mixer needed

Thanks very much, great accommodation. You both did well. Lesson 101 in project management. Perhaps I can get Everton to sort my house out in Manchester.

[@tinachambers1376]

I am going to start building next year in Montego bay.. i want you guys to oversee the construction ok.. please 😊

[@MontegoBayTechTalk]

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.

[@angelmc6973]

Thanks for this, my husband doesn't understand how prices have gone up..😢

[@ewancameron5192]

That's a lot of work congratulations you both have done well

[@sharonwilliams5515]

Yes people can't compare and expect pricing to be the same as you quoted. But I thank you for the rough estimates. It does give you a idea

[@MontegoBayTechTalk]

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO! I paused and rewound and took so many notes!

I know thus is not for this but can you please share the link for the dealership that you guys purchased your from for me please thanks again.

[@anthonyjohnson5961]

Probably look pon maybe $10m jmd for a project like that which is usd $64k-$65k .That’s why it sick mi stomach when these thieves selling the same project that don’t even look as good as yours for $150k-250k usd.

Who did the cupboards?

[@rhodeninjamaica]

Appreciate this video

[@MelB555]

Power couple

[@boyyobpp]

My friend paid $2mil for his kitchen cupboard, countertop and fixtures. So you guys pay less than $10mil to build this property and yet people complain about NHT $6.5mil loan amount.

[@oshanegreen1954]

Ppl are looking to buy houses not build it so that’s the problem honestly I would build too but it would be more cause would have to buy land too

[@evadny30]

6.5mil can't get a typical 2br, 1br, kitchen, veranda, and wash room.

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

$6.5m is more than enough to build a 1 bedroom, however, good luck finding affordable land.

[@loricrouse9009]

❤thanks

[@Kwana27557]

Big up Delpratt's❤ Did it cost a lot to ship your couch from honbay? How did you achieve this?

We used a freight forwarder if you don’t have someone in the US to help but you can also use a barrel shipping company if you have someone in America to do it for you

Thank you Guys! Blessings.

[@sadikieschiekov1337]

I want to know how much the approval of the plan cost. Please tell me

[@davidjoseph8605]

Building in JA is extremely cheap!!!! You estimates is approximately US$52 per sqft in Antigua you are looking at approximately US$100 per sqft

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

Yup, labour cost are low in Jamaica which is why these real estate prices annoy the hell out of me.

[@karlblak7500]

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

[@MontegoBayTechTalk]

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]

Not true.most of the material and finishes are imported plus labor is not as cheap as you think.the workers need constant supervision and you might end up losing materials to theft...

[@robertchang5173]

This sounds extremely inexpensive but I guess it is a small house and you did it yourself. Congrats

[@freelancerproempress6011]

Those prices are ridiculously high though

So if you built yr home yr self then that was very good that way you was not at the mercy of the blood sucking banking system but I think that is you are in a common unity that is a best way to go while you help each other but as you know when it comes to our people whether you are in the the carried beyond or black Africka we fail each other that is why when doing anything it is very difficult
