    I too am interetsed in you results, I’ll be down in Oct contacting and comparing procees and cost. the following artice on this site has some good leads.

    Also, I have found microhabitad.com with a schedule of prices.
    The question is how fancy do you want your house. the fancier you wish it the less pre-fab works for you. Meaning Arches, floor to ceiling windows, nooks, etc, etc.. the harder it is to realize on a prefab level. To several I have asked if 2 storys is posible and many say yes and have models inwhich they have built. And finally.. transportaion to the construction site [ie hillside vs, flat beach area, vs. 1 hr diameter from SJO.]
    Please post your finding .. with pic if possible.
    regards..

    why would we assume that a country with the size a major metrop [4 mill] in US and 46 bill in GDP [0.003 % of US GDP] is worthy of equi. pricing for land and construction cost[excluding building material b/c its relevant to the construction habits of the given geography]? that being said. construction should 50 cents on the dollar to US. everyother part of the world function under these premisses, with the exception of when they want to gauge you for being american.

    Im currently looking at constuction cost and Im strongly debating pre-fab vs block constuction just b/c CR is infamous for jacking up rates to foreigners.

    just my dos colones…
