So, you have made a choice to build a villa in the Dominican Republic. There are a few important aspects you should keep in mind and we will cover them in this video.
First of all, the price. In the last couple of years, the cost of construction materials has risen significantly. For example, an 8" block costs 52 pesos, a bag of cement 440 pesos, and a 1/2 inch of rebar costs 3450 pesos per kilo. These prices are valid as of March 2022...

Wow!!! Thank you Mr. T👏👏👏. I have watched so many videos on property and building/construction in DR and this is the BEST and most useful one of all of them. I have to save it! I bought land in Bonao and I'm seriously not sure whether to build a villa, condos or a tourist lodge of some sort. This video is definitely helpful and will be a point of reference. Thank you again for putting out great and useful videos!

Thank you for your honesty and sincerity about living and thriving in the DR. I am very impressed with your ability to make a gringo feel at ease with considering making the move to the DR. We are currently in Florida and the prices just keep rising. We are looking for a new surrounding, but safety and health care are at the top of our priorities and affordable prices. I am wondering about the pension visa’s and how or if DR is the right…

Aggregate? What's that? Lol... Worst job I saw was a roof pour for new apt. They mixed a bag of mortar with a wheelbarrow of sand and a wheelbarrow of dirt. The sand was probably loaded with salt.

@timothylawrence707 Год назад

If my math is correct, construction costs in the DR of $800 USD per square meter are slightly less than $75 USD per square foot. Considering construction costs where I now live (the High Rockies area of Colorado) are between $400 and $500 USD per square foot, that is a bargain: 1 sq. m. = 10.7639 sq. ft.; $800 USD / 10.7639 = $74.32 USD.

Thanks Timothy for the feedback, and for tuning in! Brgds, Mr.T

@zaneta3880 Год назад

It depends where, I guess. like anywhere. That $75 dollars won't be the same certain parts of the USA that might require different logistics like a house in Connecticut to a luxury apartment on 5th avenue. The problem in the Dominican Republic is that there's no coherence in prices. You could see a house that is priced at $500 thousand dollars in a Barrio with crimes, no electrics, rundown houses..And you can also find the same property for the same price in an upper class neighborhood...

@this.i.command1055 2 года назад

very informative....how much do resale homes go for...and do you save any money that way... Did you mention the timetable from start to possible finished product?..

@EducatedTraveler 2 года назад

Hi Lyndon and thanks for watching! Depending on the constructor you pick and the size of the villa, then most projects take between 3-6 months. One can probably save a bit by constructing, however it depends on how it goes. By saying resale homes, I assume you mean existing homes? The range is from 150K (smaller 3 bedroom villa) to 500K (larger bedroom villa). I hope that answers your question. Brgds, Mr.T

@JorgePetraglia2009 Год назад

I didn't have to look too far into the video to realize that whatever the price per square meter is in there ,you are paying for a very solid quality home. For way more than that you get disposable buildings that are demolished after not longer than 40 years (as the longer lasting ones go) in "first world developed countries". Notice that you don't see lumber going up, but rebar cement, concrete, blocks,bricks and clay tiles over concrete roofs, instead of shingles over plywood. Floors are made out of concrete covered with ceramic tiles,granite or marble that adds to the strength of the whole building,being that a house or a commercial place. Poorer homes don't have fancy finishings,but they are as solid as they come simply because they are built to last. The poorest of the poor,in those places, build with whatever they can afford, that surprisingly remind us of the kind of expensive materials we built our over priced homes in our "first world". We have an expression for this kind of construction in Latin America : Houses made out of "palitos" (spanish for sticks). There is a lesson there: in the event you want to live in a safe home (withstanding hurricanes and floods) you have to look to the people whom are not surrounded by riches, but use their minds in a very clever way. Keep the good videos coming amigo, you are good. Greetings from Toronto.

@elliottdiedrich3068 Год назад

@zaneta3880 Год назад

I'm sorry my brother but unfortunately the way we build in Dominican Republic is slightly overpriced because of some questionable use of some building techniques, tech and materials... It's not justifiable using rebars in the construction of an underground cistern, apart from not making sense, it's not necessary as when backfilling will act as a barrier. It's a lame excuse from the builder that they use rebars for extra strength in earthquakes... It's a single storey building. And they over use columns like there's no tomorrow. I also question the empañete (rendering) they use silly expensive sand, don't use lime in the mix with the cement and it's just archaic. Way too expensive unnecessarily. I'm Dominican but I develop commercial and residential properties in a country I won't mention. Respect my brother 👍👍
