Very

There are MANY here... MANY professional and experienced designers... builders... tradesmen and skilled craftsmen here.... SOME clients just dont want to: 1. Hire the professionals (they just want a mason that does carpentry electrical and plumbing) 2. do a Bill Of Quantities (to confirm the budget and project spending) 3. follow a due process from concept to getting approvals (thinking why its a poor island why do we need to... lets just tell the mason to start) 4. often want everything that is outside their budget for nothing.. then they end up selecting persons who have to negotiate lower prices by lowering quality based on cost! I see it a lot in my daily job at my desk and in the field ( I am called to either fix it or help them out) never or rarely from the beginning!!!

it only makes sense to try our best to work in harmony with nature as much as possible

​​@@APointJM I wish to present a credible side. Local J'cans do not understand that they are working for the client and they r not trained to listen. To them it's not about what the client wants but rather what they want, so u end up with a nightmare. Many want to scam and rip you off especially if you are a returning resident. The general rule of thumb is that there is very little accountability because they have " connections" and everyone is very aware- the end result can be quite sinister. This construction company hopefully is not of that mindset and will do well because they put the client first which neans they are being professional. I wish them success.

​@@anngore3842 I understand that exists and have posed the experienced issues based on "credible" evidence also. It is great but THIS construction company (or builder) is NOT and NEVER was the ONLY one. MANY reputable business professionals with successful projects DONT "want to scam and rip you off especially if you are a returning resident" Yet some would like to paint that picture of greedy and ignorance because of lack of due diligence. There are actually several University local that produce professionals in the Built Environment that can plan, manage and execute the project scope and the HEART-VTC has certified person that can execute the tasks (same people who go overseas to work-for-hire projects). I have seen MANY cases where instead of hiring registered and reputable company/ businesses they just hire a friend cousin or the recommended brother of someone... any time they can sign a "minor contract works" contract based on a certified bill of quantities (BOQ) then they will STOP getting ripped off.

I agree about the vibe of the house but I think there is a lack of taste in bringing her old square and rectangular furniture from england. she should throw them away and go for custom made stuff that marry elegantly to the shape of the walls, she also needs an interior advisor service to add some color patches and optimize that type of space.

True and when visitors come let them stay in Airbnb near by them meet them some where. It saves alot of money.

I am also interested in a tiny home. I don’t need a big house because everyone else is building big houses.

The first thought that came to mind was about the igloos that the Inuits used.

Much appreciated

It's nice but what if no rain fall for months

You can still get a water connection if you wish. You can also get trucked water

Love this ❤Id like to know the price range, and builders info

Are you able to give me the website of Dwight the builder

It’s linked in the description

Let Dwight talk

@@TheDelprattFamily yes thank you I found it. I have to say I like how detailed you and your husband are getting the information out there. However I do wish that Dwight would have gotten a chance to elaborate more on what he does. But just watching him I don't think he's a man that likes to be in the spotlight. It was a wonderful tour to see. Jamaica to me is one of the most greenest countries in the world. Why shouldn't they run Green? As well...😊

P

Awesome, thank you!

@@TheDelprattFamily Guys I absolutely love your content but constructively, I really wished you had allowed them to speak a bit more about the home themselves, the construction etc. But I love these videos and I hope you keep it up, you could turn this into a new segment- 'Unique houses in Jamaica', lol

@@TheDelprattFamily What about TINY HOUSES?

Like the bookcase. It’s called a pantry in the US. When I am building my home, I want a library inside. Also an entry way, it won’t be the typical Jamaican design, NO WAY!

They have a website in the description. The homes are NHT approved and I don't know the exact cost, but it's safe to say about half of a conventional built home.

We agree!

@@TheDelprattFamily Honestly I like it but not the water underneath the house. Lovely home, it’s so different from the same old, same old one style houses in Jamaica 🇯🇲.

@@TheDelprattFamily they need a rail on the stairs.

@@TheDelprattFamily She has to be careful for thieves will now come and break in her house.

I didn’t realise that, we will be living in Westmoreland within the area of Cornwall mountains. We get real heavy rainfall there so it’s interesting to find out this piece of fact. Thank you

@@JaquelineBaker12 You're welcome. The eastern parishes tend to have most of the rainfall in Jamaica (Portland, St. Thomas, St. Mary) but rainfall is heavy up in the mountains too

I recently moved to the hills of Westmoreland, and it gets loads of rainfall, I can't imagine how the Eastern Parishes are - didn't know they get lots of rain too 🙂

@@Samm876 How was your experience moving to Westmoreland...I was born and raised there...and would love to own a property there...but I no longer have any family there and it's a bit overwhelming trying to execute on my desires right now...

How much does a dome cost to build

Same question I wanna ask

Thanks so much! 😊

Our pleasure!

How do you contact him?
