I couldn't (wouldn't even) quote sq.ft. cost, but I would assume that as the cement and steel are imported from mainland on the ferry that in itself would contribute to an increase in building costs. Also, labor and cost of living in general is much higher in Baja Sur than anywhere I have lived in Mainland Mexico.
