This cost could have been easily reduced by 25%, had I choose lower-end finishing in many aspects (not bad at all), and possibly even more had I built today.
Building is always cheaper than buying. And you do things as you wish.
My two cents.

A couple of questions if you don't mind. Did you order the material and coordinate the payment and shipping of them to the site or did the engineer do this for you? If he did, did he send you copies of the paid invoices from the ferreteria? Also, if I may ask, how much did this guys charge for the construction administration services?
Thanks
