Building In Belize
New Home Construction Project 2006
The Finished House
#71D Consejo Beach Trail
Consejo Shores, Belize
The Plan:
The project began March 14, 2006 with a 13 week construction plan. Actual construction time was 15 weeks. The photo below is the final floor plan used for for this project. Click on it and you will get a view large enough to actually read the fine print. The room measurements shown on the plan are from the center of the walls, so the actual interior space is a little less. The house is on lot 1003. The new owner has purchased Lots 1001, 1002 and 1004 and is building a guest house with a garage.
The new owner, along with the new owner of lot 1004, has built a beautiful sea wall and filled up to it, creating a very pleasant sea front.
