What is the avg cost to build per sq foot please?
Very informative,well done many persons will benefits from this video,we need more honest and trustworthy contractors like mr Simmons, God bless,keep up the good work....
Great info family for the ones who don’t know. As for the negative nellys, there’s nothing worse than a Jamaican who hate Jamaica. We leave Jamaica and live in America England or Canada and constantly throw dirt on our BEAUTIFUL country. Crime is everywhere. I’ve lived in Brooklyn NY for 20 years now an everyday we have gun violence. Crime is not indigenous to Jamaica. Remember if these western countries where we reside decide we got to leave, they putting you on a flight to yard. Help lift up we country and promote the positivity. Some of us are so unpatriotic. SMFH. Delpratt nuff respect an gwan do the great work and promote we country 🇯🇲👊🏿
I’ve subbed. Not because I’m Jamaican. Or have Jamaican roots. But because you represent good family values…
No matter how tight your legal paper work a crooked Contractor will always find wiggle room to undercut the home owner.
That’s so true.
Hi Cass and Adrain you both should help oversea other people building projects cause both of you have a good heart and trustworthy and this is what people are finding hard to fine trustworthy people
This! An Agency that helps Jamaican residence living overseas with right contractors , sourcing the right supplies and other resources. #BusinessIdea
Very true
Can we get an update on this house. Would love to see the finished look
Very informative video. You need to do a follow up so we can see the finish look. Thank you for sharing Adrian & Cass.🙏🏾
Regardless of how you protect yourself you will be taken, it's just a matter of how much. I have a decent contractor but know I'm be fleeced as he pads the invoices and other expenses but that is the cost of doing business in Jamaica. You cannot get away from the conning even with a contract. You can have all the contract you want but enforcing them is another issue within itself. Most contractors/trades will eat a food at your expense weather you like it or not just at an additional 20% and call it a day.
Better you buy material too. I have a contractor that gives me an all inclusive price, then he goes and talks to others, who tells him about others charging more. Then he comes asking for more, and Everytime he gives a price, he increases it 3 times on average after. Many of them are a bunch of crooks, trying to extort you. Their words and contract means nothing, unless you have clause that reduces their payment for infractions, or breach or privacy. I would suggest to have a private and confidential clause, so nothing is disclosed on their part, with monetary consequences to clawback money. Same thing with those that make furniture
@@anthonycoote9546 There's no getting around a contractor who wants to rip you off unless you buy all the supplies, hire the trades and be on site all the time. In that case you would not need a contractor but a consultant.
@@mr.j7468 if your hiring a consultant might as well u hire a contractor it's the same thing just like using a family member to handle thing
I’m very impressed with mr.Simmons work . I was actually thinking about hiring a contractor from Africa but I’ll definitely reach out to him .
Hi delpratt family. Thank you both for this vlog really interesting. Shows there are professional and honest people in Jamaica. Contracts is a must!! Really good advice. Thank you Mr Simmons. Blessings
Need more construction videos with prices, or idea per square foot to build etc
Good evening family. This information is very helpful and important. Thanks guys.
I’m watching from Bridgeport Connecticut guys,please do a follow up of this project so I can see the finished product ok guys
Bridgeport here too!!
Hartford!!
I agree with Cass 💯 that they should give their family members or friends a stipend , it’s only fair because sometimes it cause them expense like car fare are even if they drive it cost them gas to go check out their business so it’s only fair to give them a stipend and that will make people care more ,in looking out for their interest ! So 3 thumps👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 up to Cass for making that suggestion !
it is worth paying extra for someone who knows what he is doing. I am amazed how storms destroy homes in the Caribbean and the U.S. A good video for people to see. Although I am not Jamaican, in my country, some of the people who are building take supplies from their work. I guess you have to be prepared that you are helping someone build their house. I met a builder who told us this is how he built his house and that was decades ago in my country. Even if it is a purchased completed house, you have to pay more than it costs.
I personally would not you a General Contractor. I would use a builder to get the foundation (with steel) out of the ground. This same Builder will take the building to roof height.
Well done! Enjoyed the video, Thanks Delpratt Family & Mr Simmons! Quality, quality, quality... I'm sure they will enjoy the house when it's finished.
Thank you the Delpratt Family. Great information on protecting yourself. How to do business when using a contractor.
Thanks guys..this video is very informative..I too would love to build a home with a very reputable builder..I need to acquire the land first..Thanks again & God bless 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤🇯🇲
I learn some much just by watching this video some simple lil things we often times over looks so important...it pay to get someone fully certified n professional to the job...not easy to work so hard n money just gone...
Hi Cass and Adrian.. I am excited about this video.. thank you
Love the modern touch he is adding to the house
Great information. Mr Simmon is very knowledgaable and professional. Thank you for Delpratt family. Blessings
Very informative. Thanks guys.
What does Simmons Construction charge per square foot?
Hi family happy Sunday good to see you guys again 🙏🌞💕
This was a very informative video Mr & Mrs Delpratt. Thanks 4 sharing. I too was very skeptical and fearful for building a 🏡. I now feel a bit more confident.
It was short but informative.
God bless you guys keep up the good work..this is very informative
Long time no see your videos keep up the good work queen and king 👊🏽🙏🏽
This contractor is knowledge,thanks guys.
Grand Rising Delphat
I feel real good about this video.. you ask all the right questions guys.. I have a question how he gets the crowd molding to stick to the concrete 🤔
Thank you. Needed this information.
Thank you Cassandra, we’ll said.
Thanks Mr Simmons. Great looking house. You can build one similar for me as soon as I get the cash.
Beautiful💪🏾💪🏾 buildings
I'm in your beautiful country. Enjoying the beautiful weather in Ocho Rios
Dem wall finishing deh pretty mr contractor..👍👍👍
And also make sure those who is overseeing your HOUSE build while you are overseas to forward you all STAMP, SIGNED INVOICES, RECEIPTS etc.
They can simply get the wholesalers to give you regular price, while the contractors actual discount price isn't reflected. You can stay abroad, wire money to wholesalers for building materials, let them bill you, and send you pics and videos of prices and receipts.
Good afternoon can you do a review on mercury garden phase 2
Awesome
A lot of important information here. Thanks for sharing.
Get it in writing 👍🏿
Bulletproof glass , solar
Wow love this video
Very informative, big up
Impressive Diverse Contractor
Thanks for this video. It changes the narrative I've read about so many times. I live overseas and have an unfinished house there that I'd like to get completed with a small addition, but I am very afraid to , mainly because of the many stories I have read. And to make matters worst, I have been burnt.
I however am still gonna finish my home and I definitely will go the route of a written contract. How ca I get in touch with Mr Simmons?
This contractor doesn't state the clauses in his contract. Should we search the case law database to see if these contractors are sued? How about Complaints with the regulators there? Those are practical steps to take
Also if you educate yourself and cut out the contractor you save alot of money,plus most contractor do heavy markup,use your money to buy material to support other job,even to build for themself.not saying all are the same.its best to educate yourself,it cost less to be informed and cost more to be uneducated.
Very information
Hey guys, this video was featured on Kalilah Reynolds programme last night- discussion on Cygnus Real Estate IPO. Did anyone else saw it?
Thanks very much for this video
Sunday blessings Delpratt family...
This was very informative, thank you. Does he work in all parishes, and does he only build from scratch or he can also put on new roofs on existing homes?
need to get a contract to this gentleman please and thanks
Great content love the information
you have one new subscriber... Great tips shared by the contractor
Thank you!
How can I get this contractor information
I want to see the finished product for this home and the other one you showed us
Good day Delpratt family, very great video. Mr Simms to be a good decent contacter and knows his job. I've taken his number so when I'm ready I shall give him a call. This is so good for us overseas people to see and hear. The house is working on looking good, I live in the UK so is it worth shipping from so far or worth shipping from the US instead. Like I said great information, real good stuff 🏘️🇬🇧🇯🇲🏝️💯😉❤️
Love the info
Numbers 6 kjv
22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
I will never build a house while living overseas, you will never know what's in your wall until 5-6 years later- It is a BAD thing- you need to be there on what's going on with your house- it is not SAFE- sometimes they suppose to be filling up the block with concreae, you will be shocked to see your block hole has sand bags and sand..lol
Listen men!!! purchase your own material means nothing from overseas.
if the contractor tells you 10 tons of steel is needed, but in reality, only 6 tons were needed, and he takes 4 tons for himself bit by bit. Also -Check to see if the contractor is building his house or a family house or a good friend house- iF yes...then some of your material is going there LOL
.
I am build from overseas.
Also manage project for overseas people that are building in Jamaica
I see your home that you’re building, I love what you’re doing and the fixtures that you’ve chosen
The doorway height looks really low?
Very informative.
Do more video like these cause not all contractor are thief.
Can I get is numbers
His name is Simmons and his number is -876- 284 -2368
How mi go by getting the land 1st
You can check with a realtor enuh. They got listings
The camera doesn't always have to be on you during an interview. We know it's you, and the family. The contractor is knowledgeable, so ask your questions and give him an uninterrupted opportunity to answer the question. Thanks for sharing.
Receipt! These people will buy material that they don't need and give you the receipt then take back the extra goods to the hardware and get cash!1
Can I get his #.

I would not build any house in Jamaica if you valued your life there is too much jealousy going on in this world so many people started to build houses and never live to see it finished a word of advise to anyone is up to you to each there own life is very short here today gone tmr keep the faith.
Foolishness you a talk.....bull shit

The R rating for sheet rock is basically nothing so there is very little insulation in sheet rock by itself. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about,.
