    Thanks for the feedback to each of you.

    Let me clarify my plans, I am not planning to build a home in CR. I am exploring/evaluating existing homes from a variety of sources – listings, information from owners etc. I have seen descriptions of existing homes with very different sf of construction on different sites. I suspect there isnt a general rule but on the chance there is one, inquired what it is.

    I am clear on what the definition is from the responsee for the main house on the property.

    I suspect the differences I am seeing is where a caretaker or guard enclosed facility exists on the property. Some include the area from those and some do not? I suspect there is not a common practice regarding say a caretaker or other separate structure on the property when a seller is describing an existing property to a prospective buyer.

    Thanks in advance for your advice on this aspect.

    What are you wife’s issues or concerns about CR living? what are the things that she likes in general, in canada or worries she would miss if living in CR? My wife was initially neutral about the idea at best but now is in favor of the move we are considering from Houston to CR in a year or so. We are retired so our situation is certainly very different from yours but some insights to your wife’s worries might help me suggest somethings from my four trips and getting my wife on board.

    On a related topic, I see ballpark construction cost figures quoted in various sources including Scott’s book. But so far have not found where the sources providing ballpark cost per sq meter, define the meters those cost apply. By that I mean, does the definition of sq. meters of construction include garage space, exterior space that has a roof but not four walls as well as an maids space or a terrance area that is landscaped and has a floor and shares one or two walls with the home. Can anyone shed some light on the CR definition of construction area which makes the cost per area clearer. Thanks
