How it's usually done in LOS upcountry: You find somebody to do the labor (via word of mouth or you stuck with the relative). He should know approximately how much blocks, sand, and cement to do the job. Find out where the local source for material (probably several and probably all pretty much the same price for things). Order it, pay for it, and hope the job gets done correctly. Same for the roof.

For the tile, go shopping yourself. Pick out what you like and load it in your vehicle or have it delivered if too much for you.

Prices for these things are locality dependant so all somebody here can do is tell you what they paid in their place.
