Is it worth hiring a project manager when any seemingly knowledgeable individual might do? The truth is, project managers can be a valuable asset to any organization, especially in the context of new home building projects in Jamaica. Whereas the average individual who is only familiar with certain tasks might be overwhelmed by the complexity of major construction assignments, project managers are trained...

Modern methods of construction require a redesign of the way homes are put together. This means that many of the traditional skills have been replaced by engineered materials, processes, and structures. New production lines, new ways of joining materials, new types of structures that reduce weight and increase strength. New ways of making installed floors, new systems for cladding buildings.

But how and when on earth are we supposed to do all that is the reply received from newly qualified real estate agents only weeks into their new positions when we describe some...

In countries filled with structures made out of brick and wood it is hard to believe that they can be made with anything else. Buildings are supposed to be sturdy and able to withstand anything from a clear day to severe thunderstorms. There's a reason why kings built their castles out of stone, and why the two pigs who built their houses out of straw and sticks had their houses destroyed. It's...
