We are in the process of renovating a historic building in Cuenca an to say the least I have a bull by the horns. I am doing this from the states with traveling to ecuador every 3 months to check on things. We do have a architect and a full time employee to help with the process but here's my question.Does anyone have any idea what the average cost per sq meter to renovate a historic building in Cuenca is running. This project is about 900 sq meters in fair shape. Its is almost impossible to get anyone to give you a real quote on anything and when I have gotten one the famous last words come at the end of whatever I had done " that wasn't included" or "Its not my fault" I would love to hear from anyone that has renovated a house and has some hands on experience with one about real cost. Contracts seem to be not worth much when it comes to cost. Our blog " the ecuador chronicles" renovating a ruin in ecuador ,tracks our progress or shall I say lack of.Any helpful comments would be appreciated. Thanks
