All construction are expensive, the problem is most Jamaicans just wing it, they do proper planning, if you do proper planning you won't be surprised by budget over runs, always factor 5 to 10% overrun on all projects.
@@HackedbyEbanks thank you for getting back to me. from your experience, how much do you think it should cost to rough cost and render a 2 bedroom kitchen and bathroom inside and out?
Hi this was the one we used, you could also search on google if there is a updated one. www.my-island-jamaica.com/support-files/independent_contractors_rate_sheet_2022.pdf
That rate sheet is a not sign by the parish council u can get it there but it's not sign because that just a guide line. Get the fact straight is either your going to get a bad work or you won't find any worker's... How can a person be a there own contractor without any builder knowledge????
I need a small veranda, and living and kitchen open concept and a bedroom.... the contractor said 2.5 million. I started to cry qhen I came inside the house and feel to sell back our materials
Yes. Things can be expensive but try to find a good mason then break up the work from foundation to roof and do it bit by bit. While we finished the build, the inside of ours is still a work in progress. We’re just doing it a little at a time. Dont be discouraged.
Good day guys please remember that the rate sheet is a guide.so you must be flexible in your approach you'll see that at the end of the sheet. Have a bless day.

Great video! good information, very helpful
Thanks for watching Jereme.
I really appreciate this video!!!
Good work roy.why some contracter use the old work sheet that can never update?
No idea but that worksheet is just a guide. People need to be mindful of inflation. Everything gone up
I think I missed how Many rooms are being added...I know you guys mentioned square foot but can visualize it more with rooms being added...
We adding 2 bedrooms and 2bathrooms. Watch the video before this. Theres a walkthrough which shows the different spaces.
Nice🙂
Very informative thanks for your tips. Where can you find a pre mix truck to poor roof, in South East St Elizabeth.
Our pleasure, glad the tips are helpful. We used Coast to Coast and I know they deliver outside of Kingston. You can contact them.
Very good!!
Very informative video!
How much would it be to render a two bedroom two bathroom house?
Is the rough casting and rendering price for the internal and the external of the property?
Yes the cost is calculated per running foot so they basically price it per wall considering both sides.
@@HackedbyEbanks thank you for getting back to me. from your experience, how much do you think it should cost to rough cost and render a 2 bedroom kitchen and bathroom inside and out?

Our builder's name is Roy too! Is his last name Gordon?
Hi thats kool, our Mason full name is Roy Brown
So it's 1.1 plus 880?
No. The builders guide said 880. We paid 1.1. Its a bit more but the guide is just a guide.

Could you educate me, how do you calculate running feet, you stated that Sq feet is 550, but running feet is 55.
@@michellebrown1742 The running feet is typically calculated based on the length of the wall, the measurement from one end of the wall to the other edge.

The rate sheet is just a guide. And we used it as a guide but we did pay more than the rate sheet as explained in the video.
Can you give me an estimate for a 4bed to build in Clarendon?
We currently do not offer building from start as a service so we are unable to provide a cost.
Hi great information. Question, is the quote for $1.1 million include all building costs for your 2 story home
The quote is for labour work for masons, carpenter and steel man for a 550sqft extension. And that cost took us through from foundation to a rendered structure. Material cost is in another video.
@@HackedbyEbanks thanks for your reply. When you say rendered structure do you mean rendering and flashing? Was that included in the price?
@@kaylamaxine9217 Yes the cost included foundation, all steelwork, laying blocks, columns, beams, lintels, roughcasting and rendering walls and ceiling.
@@HackedbyEbanks thanks, our builder charged $1.85 million for a 3 bedroom house which just needed refurbishing. The roof wasn't included
@@kaylamaxine9217 costs do vary, especially with refurbishing it depends on the existing condition, what adjustments are needed and also the unknowns. Did that include painting, plumbing and tiling?
Are u related to PJ Ebanks ?
Hi, no I don’t know a PJ
I might just build myself a 🏡Instead of buying.
That would be a good move if you have the land already, because land prices are escalating very rapid.
Those rates are way below the current market. You may be able to find a person that is willing to work with those rates, but in reality those rates are way below the current values.
Agreed rates have shifted, these rates were approximately 2 years ago.
For average people to build in Jamaica it's very expensive.
Thanks Alot❤❤❤
