Hello everyone,
Been a while visiting on DR1. I am here right now in NYC working. Trying to get this solar bought by August. After talking to a couple of Santiago Real Estate personnel, the loan officer at my bank (Asociacion Cibao), and the Dominican family that I rent a room from in NYC, the consensus has been BUILD...don't BUY. I am both excited and terrified.
I have been notified of a new building technique by a real estate friend of mine and a maestro that apparently saves some money on construction and is being used by some maestros in Santiago, one who just finished building an apartment building with this method. Anyway, I am posting a link that one sent to me so that I could get familiar with it and see if I would like to build this way.
As always, I am checking with you guys to see if anyone is familiar with this or if its all a crock of mierda.

I consulted Chip to see what today's going rates are for building and he told me between
20,000rd-22,000rd/m2, Victor's dad who is in this business told me about 18,000-19,500rd/m2 and this new "process" has been quoted to me as approximately 15,000rd/m2 or less.
Has anyone built lately to give me a little perspective?
I am not using my ex (Victor's dad) because we have a good relationship and I'm very particular and don't want to mix business with, well, not pleasure but....."getting alongness" just like I wouldn't buy a car from a friend.
He will be doing the checking for me though once building commences, as well as my close real estate friend.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I have a house plan but I think it is too big and I want to finish the house in a year and a half, I will only have $8,000 per month to go towards the construction so I'm trying to find another that I like that is smaller in size.
Thanks again,
SHALENA
