Replacement Value on an Island

Just thinking out loud; I would guess a 25% premium to build on an island vs. the mainland.

As I say, just a guess!

The material cost the same whether I place it to be delivered to a mainland build or one of the marinas.

But what it costs to transport that load to the island... ???

You will pay higher not only for the transportation of materials, but your labor costs will be much higher in order to have someone put it together for you.

Additionally, your labor costs will be far higher for plumbers, electricians, etc.
