Hillbilly said:In the country is not very specific.
If you are near a major city your costs might be as much as $100.00 less per meter of construction.
Other items that can really cost you are the floors, and furnishings such as kitchen cabinets and windows..
I have been quoted between RD$10,000 and RD$15,000 per meter...
Otherwise, you are probably in the ball park or
"on the pitch" depending on where you are from....

I am just now starting on the first house of hopefully many that I will build to sell in Costambar. If you do plan to build you have to make sure to be there every step of the way or you?ll end up with all sorts of big problems without easy fix.
If you are interested I can give you some examples of bad experiences.

suarezn said:Toronto: Are you just including the cost of labor in your cost? Otherwise I don't see how this can be possible. You're saying you can build a 200 m2 (about 2500 sf) home for about 600k pesos. Only possible if all you build is the shell. I think HB got it right...
