Is that an 8 meter diameter round palapa. If you're satified with their work I'd love to get the names and contact information. I'm coming for the solstice celebration in December and hope to make arrangement for building a palapa of similar size and composting toilet. Got information on builders for those from the eco people in Akumal. I think since I'll only be there portions of the year that is probably my best bet. Where's your lot if I can ask? We're up top of Tohoku park on the little path. Thanks again,
Bill

Labour and wood (cut on the full moon eliminating/reducing the bug population) 15,000 pesos
Zacate (the grass for the roof) Guano is endangered and we at SacBe do not use endangered species to build with) 6,000 pesos (2.5 pesos per bunch).
Nails, string and other sundry items 400 pesos.
The palaperos promised to finish in almost a week but the zacate is wet and will not last as long as dry zacate so they have to wait for another delivery from Escarcega next Wednesday. I should be celebrating my new palapa next Saturday if all goes well!
The above prices do not include the floor and I am presently looking for quotes on finishing it with the rocks available on my land and a bit of cement...news at 11!!
I hope the aforementioned helps a little...if you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Nos vemos!
