What it costs to build in Roatan.
Standard island build
Roughly US $120–160 per square foot for concrete-block construction with quality mid-range finishes on an accessible lot.
Upgraded finishes
Roughly US $160–220 per square foot with imported fixtures, custom cabinetry, larger glazing, and covered outdoor living.
Luxury & oceanfront
US $220–300+ per square foot for beachfront or steep-hillside builds with pools, marine-grade materials, and complex foundations.
What moves the number
Site access, hillside versus flat terrain, materials shipped to the island, and finish level move cost more than square footage alone. Every estimate starts with a site visit; ask us for yours.
Answers before you break ground.
How much does it cost to build a house in Roatan?
Most custom homes land between US $120 and $220 per square foot depending on finishes and terrain; luxury oceanfront builds run higher. We confirm a range after walking your lot.
How long does a new build take?
Most custom homes run 10 to 14 months from groundbreaking to handoff. Island logistics (shipping windows and permit timing) are built into the schedule from day one.
Who handles permits and licensing?
We coordinate municipal permits and connect you with our partners for architectural design and environmental licensing, so approvals move while the site is being prepared.
Can you build while I'm off-island?
Yes, many of our clients build from abroad. You get one point of contact, scheduled photo and video updates, and a documented walkthrough at every milestone.
How do you build for hurricanes and salt air?
Concrete and block structures, hurricane-rated roof systems, and marine-grade hardware and coatings: the same standards on every home, not an upgrade package.
