General Building Information
Building in Belize is a little more complicated than it was just a few years ago. There has been much controversy surrounding the new "Central Building Authority Of Belize" and the improbable regulations that agency has put forth. Below you will find the opinion of a few of the "Building Professionals" affected by these new requirements.

Building Projects:
Below you will find the Daily Construction Logs for the two house building projects we undertook in Consejo Shores. These logs show the building techniques used, the problems encountered and their solutions and will give you a general understanding of the building process. You will find that things are done a little differently here.
2007 Home Construction Project:
Construction began on on 12 June 2007. The plan was to complete the house by October 1st. We lost 10 days to Hurricane Dean preparation and clean-up. Hurricane Felix missed Belize but 4 days were lost getting ready, just in case, and then re-staging. Rain and the numerous September holidays cost us a few days. Add to this the fact this house is a much bigger project than our previous ventures, with every finishing item taking longer than planned, so the house was not finished until mid November.
