I need some advice.
I am building a ?guest? (Gardener/maid quarters) in the back or my property in the DR (Juan Dolio/Guavaberry area) in fact the structure is already up (side walls, inside division and concrete roof was already poured). The house is divided in three areas built length wise:
Total area 6 meters wide by 10 meters long
Pool bath/change room 6 x 3 (apprx.)
Laundry/Storage room 6 x 3
Maid quarters/studio 6 x 3
They are to install 3 toilets (2 in pool bath, 1 in the studio)
? ? ? 5 sinks ( 2 in pool bath, 1 in laundry room, 1 studio sink and 1 in the studio bath)
Run proper pipes to the septic area.
Wire the whole building.
The charge for that labor plumbing and electrical is ?un aproximado, pero no menos de? (aprox. But not less than) 40,000 to 45,000 RD$
Now the cementing of the house, inside, outside, ceilings, windows, installation of ceramic floor, kitchen counter (studio), ceramic on both bathrooms (Studio and Pool bath) I am not having a tub in either, just a shower stall, the charge is just labour without material 175,000 to 190,000 RD$
Once the electrical and plumbing is done, he estimates about 2 months to complete the ?finishing? of the house.
What is your take on that? Opinions please,,, questions about details are welcome. I need to know if this is reasonable. Keep in mind he is not a professional contractor, he is someone that someone for someone recommended and has guys working for him.
My husband has questions which I cannot answer since I was born in the DR but moved to Canada very young, before I was able to ever deal with any contractor. 190,000.00 RD$ is 6,792.69 CDN$ (exchange rate 0.035751) is that the kind of money a contractor would make in two months of work? Averaging 3,396.45 a month
Sorry about the long post? bottom line?are these amounts and the length of time to finish the job reasonable?
