Another bright day in Jamaica and the construction industry seems to be set alight with new and old projects coming alive along the North Coast. Building cost is still going up and wages, still not moved for the past few years yet ‘tings are going on’ in Jamaica.
Encouraging more building…
I had always thought the more you use of any material the less it cost, so why is the government not encouraging more building in Jamaica by helping to reduce cost, import duties would be a great help. I do not wish to sound like a Politician but I only wish the Government would help a little more. Thank goodness for outside investment, it helps!In Falmouth, the chief town and capital of the parish of Trelawny, which is situated on Jamaica’s North Coast about 18 miles East of Montego Bay, is noted for being one of the Caribbean’s best-preserved Georgian towns and was named after Falmouth in the UK,
Falmouth was a wealthy town…
During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Falmouth was one of the busiest ports in Jamaica. It was home to masons, carpenters, tavern-keepers, mariners, planters and others. It was a wealthy town in a wealthy parish with a rich racial mix. Within the parish, (see the caves in nearby Duncans Bay) nearly one hundred plantations were actively manufacturing sugar and rum for export to Britain. Jamaica had become the world’s leading sugar producer.Falmouth became the central hub of the slave trade and the now notorious cross-Atlantic triangular trade, with its economy largely based on slavery. In Falmouth Harbour as many as 30 tall-ships could be seen on any given day, many of them delivering slaves transported under inhumane conditions from Africa and loading their holds with rum and sugar manufactured by slave labour on nearby plantations.
So what has this to do with construction? The Harbour is back, but not for Slaves, thank god, and will be ready for business again soon.
It is undergoing one of Jamaica’s biggest construction works to date and creating a new Harbour for Trelawny. After years of wasted time a great thing has happened to Falmouth and the construction industry is employing people in Trelawny that can only be a good thing and is welcome by many in the area.
A New Port for Oasis of the Seas: Falmouth, Jamaica
Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship and features new-to-Royal Caribbean types of eateries that range from spa cuisine to elaborately staged food and wine pairings. Its entertainment district, a hub for late owls, offers ice skating and disco, comedy and jazz, and a three-tiered theater that features a 90-minute version of “Hairspray,” the popular Tony Award-winning Broadway show. Particularly dazzling is the ship’s Aqua Theater, with its deepest-pool-at-sea, which serves as a platform for performers such as divers and synchronized swimmers.Falmouth is on its way to becoming one of the most fashionable Parishes in Jamaica once again and the locals and surrounding towns are just waiting to see the outcome of this new venture.
‘Hay Val’, here we go I thought, more begging for money, but no, he said ‘let me buy you a drink’, thanks I said, but you buy me a drink! ‘I am working on the Harbour and after all those years you have always being there for me if I wanted a drink or a food, now it’s my turn’. Thanks!Giving the people work
The Harbour is doing great things for the people of Falmouth. Give the people work and they will look after themselves and the construction industry in Jamaica has been crying out for help for some time now, it’s time some respect is show for the workers in the construction trade.

Merry Christmas from Jamaica
What makes us different?
JA Projects is entering a new year and is growing into an establish construction company, full of ideas and trust from our clients around the world. We are currently making new grounds in our bid to give our clients what they want here on the North Coast of Jamaica.We are often asked, what makes us different?
The answer is we give our clients what they asked for and more. JA Projects started out as a website offering clients a way… “To view your property at any time and be assured that everything is fine. We will upload your photographs, in a secure area on our server for you to view, make comments, send email from within the database to your contacts in Jamaica, in total private, online at anytime”.
Reliable and Secure
We have given our clients a reliable and secure way to be in charge of the home they have made in Jamaica while away from the country. From your Garden being kept in order, complete rewiring of your Villa, Painting, and Plumbing to Video of the interior.The last year we have gone heavily into construction to help our clients achieve a greater freedom from start to finish of the dream Villa they had always wanted in Jamaica.
Swimming Pool
Our latest project is an Above Ground Swimming Pool created by JA Projects with all the work carried out by our team of builders. At each stage pictures were taken and uploaded to the database, giving assurance to the owners of our work and progress.
The Pool is near completion and is a true Above Ground Pool that blends in with the already mature garden giving the property a feeling of always ‘being there’.
From the offset JA Projects have designed the Pool with the clients in mind, drawings are also made at all times showing the construction workers what is wanted to the Pool so at no time is the client left in the dark about the project.
Project Manager
Acting also as Project Manager JA Projects is able to help the client see the construction all the way to the end and allowing the client’s input for the overall construction of the work being carried out.We are looking forward to a New and Happy Year in the world of construction in Jamaica and will do our very best to keep you updated with the construction trends that are occurring in Jamaica.
From the team of JA Projects we wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Build without always being in Jamaica.
"What a great way to to keep an eye on our new home in Montego Bay. We live in Massachusetts and now we feel we can build without always being there".
It works for me!
"Thank you, what a great way to save time and money, it works for me! Having already constructed the outside of our Villa/Hotel we wanted to fill it with Jamaican furniture.
We posted the style and discuss the arrangement, all through JA Projects, the database did the rest, knowing our discussion and pictures were private. It's a great way to do business!
