dont know where you get building costs are very cheap,DR is the most expensive island in Caribbean for construction materials...costs have doubled and trippled for materials in last couple of years or less...barilla has gone up almost 300% in a year,and so has cement...some contractors are slowing down or stopping for now...and prices for built homes here are way out of wack,and unsellable for now.Look around and see all the half built homes and buildings.....all over the island....
