Hi there, I am looking for any help on getting property plans drawn for building on AC. I contacted one company but the quote seems high. Has anyone had any done? did you follow through and get a build? Any advise on builders and cost per sq ft? I am looking for basic comfort not super high end finish.
Thank You.

With permits each one, will be around 3K each US. That's with all "stamps."

Is that for a full design development and constuction development? When you say "stamps", is that the license approval process?
Have you had this done before or are you in this field? This is our first time actually having something designed and drawn up so we are really green at the moment and trying not to get into too much trouble in the process.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, full set of drawings:
Engineering, Electrical, Health Approvals "Stamps".
Central Building Authority Approval.
Everything you need to build.
Have had many homes go through the process.
I own a construction and development company.
Which firm did you contact?
Where are you going to build?

Be very careful when you choose a builder. There are a lot of sad stories of people being promised one thing and getting another. Vet your builder carefully. Make sure they get a building permit. Then make sure they adhere to the plans. and make very sure they keep you updated on exactly how your money is being spent. Make sure that the quality of the materials used is good. And watch out for scams and smooth talking operators. Again vet your builder carefully!!!
We got taken badly in Carmelita Gardens (Cayo District). The builder violated every ethical thing possible while building our house. The septic system is completely off the property! He didn't get a building permit. And there is a lot more. We have learned that builders like him are not unusual in Belize. The government has requirements but does not have the money to enforce them.

I have clients using them right now. Yes they seem high. We have used a couple others as well. I do build, but not on AC.. Prices are certainly higher on the Cays. Not sure what they are at on the cays at this time. My guess with be 100-120 US a square. That will not include pilings if you go that way.
