house builder Philippines
You pay a little more to them than to a local 'contractor' (called Foreman) but licensed contractors will not likely put their good name at risk. News goes around quick here and bad news even quicker. The Philippine Government has control over licensed professionals and protects consumers who deal with them; deal with a contractor WITHOUT license and find out...
I have seen some practises done by a foreman that can be called criminal.
They place steel reinforcement bars in the ground before pouring cement and when the owner is gone they remove them.
There are numerous building materials that are available in so many qualities (and prices) that it is unlikely you are aware when they use inferior materials (while you have payed ofcourse for good quality).
To avoid this, hire a licensed home builders in the Philippines, with an office and contract. They will not put their name at risk.
How to select Philippine contractors?
"GOOD WORK IS NEVER CHEAP, AND CHEAP WORK IS NEVER GOOD"
It is wise to look around for the best- and most affordable contractor but remember that the more you squeeze your budget the more you lose on quality.
Some future-house-owners have to be educated too in the sence that they are sometimes not realistic in demanding super-service and quality while hiring the cheapest contractor...
You can probably force your contractor to go very low in price but do you realy think you are the winner..? Think again, he will use some tricks to keep his cost down by using inferior materials or construction methods. Your house will look fine - for a while - but suddenly some cracks will appear. Or you have to do a new paint-job every year. Believe me, you lose.
Philippine Architects, Engineers and Contractors as a Team
Architects and Contractors/Engineers have different qualities/experiences but are equally important so why seperate them???
Is it wise to hire an Architect (with more theorethical knowledge) and then let several Contractors-Engineers (with more practical knowledge) bid for the project?
It might be better to just hire a 'design/build team' (Architect plus Contractor) that work together FROM START TO FINISH as a TEAM.

Of course, if to property for sale in the Ilocos buy of close on the house or other real estate, to have transactions costs. Then there are swimming pool costs when to sell you a next investor, of contractors swimming pool transaction costs when he sells a property.

They closed a first day and a month, so a small down payment came from a rents is were credited you a buyer (rent was paid on a first, of he was a new landlord). He moved into one and a units the month later.

The Contract of House Contractors in the Philippines
Before hiring a contractor for your building or remodeling project, all agreements should be put into writing. The written contract should include:

- The starting and completion dates
- The labor cost and the material charges
- Information on how and when you must pay
- Any warranties and guarantees of workmanship
- The method for debris and material removal when the job is complete
- Read the entire contract carefully. Ask questions.
- Keep a copy of the signed contract.
- Do not pay more than the required minimum downpayment before the work is begun.
- Do not pay the balance until all work is completed and debris removed.
First meeting with a construction company in the Philippines
The first meeting is always free of charge. They listen to your story and your plans and give a general advice how to proceed. It's YOUR house so just tell them all about your plans/wishes; location to build, when, how many storey, rooms, floor area, budget-range, house-style (Mediterranean, beach, country, farm, vacation, ZEN, luxury) design etc.
Next step could be a visit to your lot; a site inspection.
The architect and/or builder will evaluate the exact location, the logistics/accessibility, regulations/restrictions of the local government or subdivision, soil-type, neighbor-buildings, availability of local skilled labor, source of electricity/water etc. because they effect the design/price.
Contractors should explain- and show you different methods to construct; hollow blocks, solid concrete walls, insulated panels (keep the heat and noise outside), AAC, Thin Shell, PREFAB, Steel Frame, 'green-building' (ECO-) etc.
If he only builds with hollow blocks and you have deceided to go for a better system; there are only a handfull of them here; they build nationwide but have only 1 or 2 offices.
With your help and directions they make a rough sketch of the house (colored schematic design) and floor plans to fit your LOT, WISHES and BUDGET.
This is subject to relevant revisions; you change it until perfect.
Then the contractor gives a cost-estimate with material specifications and timeline.
If approved by you; they make the final blue prints, apply for a building-permit and start building.
NOTE: If the site visit will incur billable expenses such as airline tickets, gas expense, lodging and meals; they will be invoiced based on actual costs.
Other house builders in the Philippines will ask you to sign the design-contract; they do not offer free services.
Also it makes me think 'why would any self-respecting contractor give free services? Is he maybe desparate to get a job?'.
That would not be the best contractor to chose...
Most architects and contractors will ask for a design retainer or design fee before continuing to work on your project. They don't want to spend hours of time with customers who are just "kicking tires" and looking for free advice.
Bidding: the Big Common Misconception
Many people think that they can E-mail or meet a Philippine contractor and let them make a free design plus specifications ('list of materials' or 'Bill of Materials') and a cost-estimate.
Thats not exactly how it works...
You will have to present a detailed plan to a contractor to get a bid from him.
That SAME plan you can use to let other contractors bid for your project.
BUT you can not ask every contractor to first make a design.
Think also about this: how can you compare the bidings from different contractors when they are based on DIFFERENT designs???
And contractors will not make a free design anyway.
So your first step is to obtain a sketch of your house plus material-specifications whether from an architect or engineer/contractor; and that will not likely be free...
Hire a licensed contractor, with an office; check their licenses and contract.
That's it, it works, there's nothing else to it. Period.
