Subdivision, condotel, living in the Philippines?

2012-01-08T00:40:00.000-08:00

Instead of building a house in the Philippines; why not buying a home in a subdivision? Or a condotel for investment?
But what are the best Philippine subdivisions for Expats? Are condotels a good option?
And WHERE is the best place for living in the Philippines anyway???

Insulated Concrete Forms Philippines (ICF)

2012-01-01T18:03:00.000-08:00

It's hard to introduce 'Insulated Concrete Forms' (ICF) in the Philippines; this way of building houses is used all over the world but not yet here... while it has so many advantages.

It is insulating like your 'cooling box'; saving you money on aircon-bills.

Beauty inside/outside: cover the walls inside- and outside with beautiful paneling or veneers; thousands of possibilities.

It is a load-bearing structure in its own right (other contractors use hollow blocks which are NOT loadbearing).

Superior sound-dampening qualities; you are saveguarded against the noise of the rampant karaoke-terror here. Use ICF for Houses, Commercial Buildings, School, Church etc. The project is built faster; commercial buildings can start their business quicker.

The ICF industry is growing by over 30% per year.

Philippine homes built with Insulating Concrete Forms cost maybe 30% more than traditional construction...

The polystyrene might become the happy home of termites; they don't eat it because they like it but just for making a shelter.

So why not put the polystyrene between two layers of concrete, like here:

The cost is same as ICF but at least the termites can't reach the polystyrene plus you do not have to cover both sides of your wall with... another wall like in the case of ICF;

When is the best Time for Building a House in the Philippines?

2011-12-24T04:12:00.002-08:00

In the dry season; school-children have vacation in April and May because it is very hot at that time. It's maybe the best to start around January to build your house which will take at least until June. If the rain starts then your roof will already be in place, no problem.

However, price of building materials will go up also because more construction is done that time; better buy all materials just before the raining season which is August - September - October.December is a total-loss because all work grinds to a halt...

How Long does it take for Home Construction in the Philippines?

2011-12-24T04:12:00.001-08:00

Complete construction (including finishings) takes on average 4 to 6 months but you need about 6 weeks for blueprints and building permit.

Value Engineering in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:11:00.002-08:00

Value Engineering is all about removing unnecessary expenditures and finding alternatives; it is knowledge which local Philippine contractors might fail to recognize due to lack of information, shortage of time, rigid application of standards, reluctance to seek advice, habitual thinking, failure to admit ignorance, poor human relations, resistance to change or they make decisions based on feelings rather than facts.

Solar Panels in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:11:00.001-08:00

There is now Solar Power in the Philippines; Electric Energy from Solar Panels.
Does it save you money? No. If you take a look at the cost; the investment is high.

However sometimes you have no choice if there is no electric supply in your location.
Or you don't like the brown-outs which occur quite often in the Philippines.

Cost of the panels system: depends on the 'system set', ranging from 10 Watt to 5,000 Watt.

Just to give an idea, expect roughly Php 150,000 to power some lights in your house and electric fan, TV, computer, washing machine, radio.
But expect maybe Php 300,000 if you want to include a refrigerator.
And Php 1M if you also want an airconditioner.

There's FREE light available in the Philippines though...

Fence Design in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:10:00.002-08:00

See a hollow block fence here:

HOWEVER; as in building homes in the Philippines, also fences can be build cheaper plus 5X stronger, 2X faster and much more durable when you build them 'cast-in-place' instead of building with hollow blocks:

Swimming Pool Builders in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:10:00.001-08:00

Pool price depends on location, design, size, materials used, permit fees, local labor costs, depth, water features, additional accessories such as diving boards, slides, pumps, filters, automated filtration, heating, electronic chlorinators, automated cleaning systems, wireless remote controls, design add-on options such as waterfalls, landscaping, decking and other such details.

On average your Philippine pool contractor can build the pool (operational) in 60 days.

Swimming pool construction is best done by contractors using the 'dry-pack method' (very dry mix concrete laid on top of the other in clockwise or counterclockwise direction until the pool is completed). Once started, the workers will not stop until completion. This method is an assurance that leaks in any part of the pool are eliminated. The hollow blocks are acting as formworks only. Even an olympic swimmingpool will be built with this method also.15 years guarantee.

Roof Design in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:09:00.002-08:00

Option 1: Asphalt shingles
The most affordable choice.

Option 2: Metal roofing
Philippine roofing contractors mostly use corrugated galvanized steel or zinc-aluminum roof panels. Metal shingles are available, which create a tiled look. They can be prepainted. The maintenance of a steel roof is frequent if your house is very near the sea.
It's lightweight, installs quickly, has excellent durability, fire-resistant and does a good job of reflecting the summer sun; specially when white painted (which saves on insulation also!).
But metal roofs can be noisy when pounded by rain and they can dent when you walk over it.

Option 3: Tile Roofing
Roofing tiles are made of clay or ceramic. Perhaps the most durable of all residential roofing.
Expect for stone roof tiles the requirement of a stronger structure of your house in the Philippines, to cary the very heavy load... hence higher cost...
Tile roofs are an attractive but quite expensive option.

Option 4: Green Roof Garden
How about a green roof garden in the Philippines?

Also think about exhaust fans under your roof to expel the hot air above your ceiling; they have a thermostat which starts when the temerature inside your roof becomes too high.

The fans replace the hot air; this process assures owners not only of a cooler house in the Philippines and saves on the electricity-bill but also avoids cracking of ceiling board joints and joints of cornice and wall. See here:

...and more detailed here...

Any insulation is mostly placed between the purlins and the roof panels because this way the insulation rejects the heat by as much as 80% before it enters the ceiling.

If you would place the insulation on top of the ceiling board, then you allow the heat to come in and let the insulation work later...

The ceiling board also acts as secondary insulation.

Insulation in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:09:00.001-08:00

There are four major areas of insulation to plan for: walls, ceiling, roof and windows.

Insulation function is measured in “R-Value” (resistance). Higher R-Value is always better and always more expensive.

There is not one correct answer in choosing insulation. Compare cost, R-value, and density rating to make a choice that satisfies you and your budget.

Termites in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:08:00.001-08:00

Ask your contractor for the latest unique (permanent!) "anay" termite protection system; simple and yet very effective installed under your house before construction.

Building Materials in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:07:00.003-08:00

Philippine house builders get discounts at the hardware store which the do-it-yourselfer may not be able to qualify for.

Your local hardware store can give you a price list of Philippine building materials; prices fluctuate during the year.

The cost of construction materials in the Philippines is mostly higher in the dry-season so better buy them at the end of the raining-season.
However, the price of most Philippine construction materials goes up, up, up...

Building Permit Requirements in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:07:00.001-08:00

Do not even think about building a house in the Philippines without a building permit; a government official might order to stop the ongoing construction with all consequences.

It is wise to apply for a buildingpermit (they need a copy of your blueprints) and work with the local building department for legal, safety, and insurance reasons.
Besides enjoying the peace of mind that comes from knowing your project meets safety and quality standards, you may also gain protection down the road. Without the Philippine building permits requirements and adherence to the corresponding inspection process, you may find yourself defending shoddy or unsafe work.

Having worked with a permit to build in the Philippines also comes in handy when you sell your house, because real estate laws may require you to disclose whether the Philippine Building Code has been respected.

It is better to work within local building codes. Philippine building permits give you or your contractor formal approval to start a construction project. But before applying for a permit, make sure the construction of your house or commercial building is allowed by your local (subdivision-) building and zoning codes.

Local building codes are based in part on standards set by regional- and national code organizations. These organizations work to ensure that homes are built and remodeled to meet reasonable safety requirements. They protect you and your home.

Philippine building permit requirements and -price depends on the scope of your project and the rate of the Municipality where you want to build.In the Philippines it can be cheaper if you know how to get the building permit yourself in stead of letting your contractor do that (the last is more likely to be asked for some grease money).

1 or 2-Storey House Design and Plans in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:06:00.001-08:00

One- or two storey is strictly an individual choice, and the difference in cost (if any) depends on the design. A one storey house is however mostly cheaper.

Two storey homes might be your only option when land costs are high. Another advantage of a 2-storey can be that you can have a panoramic view and of course more fresh air and privacy.

Senior citizen however find it hard to live on the 2nd floor. Stairs are also expensive and occupy some floor area. You might need a pump and tank to supply water to the upper floor. The weight of the second floor requires a bigger foundation and a more complicated 2nd floor structural framing system; hence higher cost. But on the other hand, the roof on a two storey home is relatively smaller so the overall price-difference between a similar 1 storey and 2 storey house depends on too many factors to tell without knowing the design-details.

Modern Construction Methods in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:05:00.002-08:00

Some different Philippine building methods:

Hollow blocks or Cast-in-Place?

Steel Frame plus Cement Board (cast in place)

Insulated Concrete Forms or ICF

Remember that you can always replace a door or put new tiles in your house but you can NOT change the structure/foundation of your home; make a wise decision...

Building Contractors in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:05:00.001-08:00

'you get what you pay for'
'GOOD WORK IS NEVER CHEAP, AND CHEAP WORK IS NEVER GOOD'

It is YOU who have to select the house contractor who offers the best VALUE for your money.

Some contractors in the Philippines will do anything to get your project like giving a big discount and certainly bid lower than the price offered by their competitor. And every week we see the emails of those whining ignorant home owners who fell in the trap with open eyes...

Note that in many cases it is actually the home owners themselves who create problems by thinking that the Philippines is 'a country of bargaining' and subsequently squeeze the contract-price up to the last Peso or selecting one of those 'cheap home builders'...You have to understand that every time you ask for a discount to your home-builder, you limit his freedom to serve you better... which is NOT in your advantage nor in his advantage.

If a Philippine contractor gives you discount do not expect that it means that they just lower their own profit; it might be that they will 'cut corners' like using less cement in building your house or use smaller diameter reinforcement steel bars or thinner steel roof. Who's laughing?

Worse case scenario is when the construction company suddenly notice (when your home is half finished) that they can not make a profit anymore; they estimated the cost to build your house too low. And gone they are; 'fly by night' contractors. Who's crying?

How to select a Philippine home builder?
- Go to the office of your contractor and ask neighbors how long did they occupy that same office.
- Let the contractor show you his permits and ask to show a sample-contract.
- Let your contractor show you an ongoing project; let him show you how they work.
- Ask your home builder some questions about legal matters; can he answer them?
- Visit another contractor for a 'second opinion'.
- Can your home builder communicate by E-mail? Can he start the design process while you are abroad and does he send you pictures weekly of the progress while building your home?
- Test your Philippine contractor and ask what he knows about 'Value Engineering'.

A 'good' contractor will keep up 'a certain level of quality' and refuse to help you if you ask them to 'build a cheap home' to avoid losing their good name and license.
The reason is simple; when you force a contractor to build a home in the cheapest way possible and with the cheapest materials then you definitely will experience problems within 1 year after building. And then the contractor is to blame while the home-owner got exactly what he paid for...

Most problems occur because people select the cheapest services without thinking long-term.
It is possible to have Quality, Service and Durability but it will cost a little more...

How much is the Cost to build a House in the Philippines?

2011-12-24T04:04:00.001-08:00

First check your budget. It's a complete waste of time to look on the Internet for home designs while not yet knowing how many square meter house you can afford. But how do you know what is the construction cost to build a house in the Philippines?

The construction of a house in the Philippines is a process involving more than a dozen trades, hundreds of products, and thousands of steps that must be scheduled, coordinated, and performed quickly and correctly; to give a cost for that WITHOUT knowing the following details would be GUESSWORK which is not good for both you and the home builder.

The building cost for your house or commercial building depends on the exact location (city or province or island?), total floor area (make the house 2x bigger and the price will become 2x higher), the logistics/accessibility (is it possible to use a truck to bring the materials or do they have to be carried?), regulations/restrictions of the local government or subdivision ('they all have their own different rules'), soil-type, site preparation (maybe your lot need excavation, backfilling, compaction, a retaining-wall, dewatering and/or runoff control measures?) neighbor-buildings (fire-wall?), availability of local skilled labor, source of electricity/water etc. plus you have to select what construction methods have to be used (hollow blocks, solid concrete with- or without insulation etc.) and you need to know exact which brand, quality and color tiles you want or what kind of windows, doors, kitchen etc. etc.

So the only correct way to know how much the cost will be of building a home in the Philippines is when you already own a lot and the blueprints. Then you can itemize all work items of your project and price it accordingly. Nobody likes 'guesswork'.

But what if you only want to know an estimated house construction cost as to prepare your budget for the future?Just ask any local contractor; he knows from his previously built homes plus his experience how much the average estimated cost per square meter floor area is to build your house in the Philippines. The estimated cost per square meter for a garage is of course lower than for the livingroom; so mostly the price per square meter which your Philippine contractor gives you is a cost for the whole house:

Included are mostly:
1. Design, Blueprints, Permits
2. Plumbing
3. Electrical works
4. Embedded items for Aircon
5. Floor, walls and ceiling finishes
6. Roof
7. Doors and windows
8. Painting
9. Hardwares, door locks, hinges

Excluded are mostly: (offered but charged separate)
1. Deposits to Electrical and Water utilities
2. Fence and gates
3. Swimming pool
4. Aircon units
5. Furnitures and cabinets
6. Transformer for 110 volts
7. Deepwell and reservoir

As of January 2012; the average estimated cost per sq mt for building your home in the Philippines, done by a contractor, is (drumroll):

Between Php 17,000 and Php 20,000 for the average subdivision-home (just browse on the Internet for some examples).

Between Php 20,000 and Php 25,000 for 'Expat houses' ('foreigners').
People from USA or Europe (with strict requirements) have to expect 'a little higher than average construction cost' because they demand- and select better quality materials.
Yes, there is a difference between cost to build for a Filipino or for an Expat.
No, we don't mean the 'Kano Price'...
It's just a fact that most Filipinos are satisfied with (in the eyes of an Expat) a more simple home.
Expats in the Philippines demand higher quality and that comes with a higher price.

You want solar panels? Vaulted ceilings? Insulated (two sheets glass-) windows? Ceramic Roof Tiles? Decorative stones on outside walls? Higher quality kitchen and bathroom? Then you pay more than 'average'.

Discounting is for Losers
Giving a discount is the number one technique local Philippine 'contractors' (a foreman without office and/or contract) are using to get your attention but it actually reveals poor management. In the end it is YOU who will 'pay the price'.

Build a house in the Philippines completely by yourself and save (maybe) a whooping 20% if you are able- and willing to spend a lot of time (as in fulltime) on the building site, can keep records, manage a dozen of trades, hundreds of products, and thousands of steps that must be scheduled, coordinated, and performed quickly and correctly to finish the project, for about 4 months, probably much longer.

The cheapest way for building your house is when you use cheap materials:

Registered Architects in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:03:00.000-08:00

'Free Philippine House Design can be Very Expensive'

Any Philippine architect or engineer has to go through many years of study and a very strict board-exam. Same like doctors and lawyers. There seems to be a common misconception amongst those who want to build a home in the Philippines; they expect an architect to make a sketch of the house and a floorplan...for free... Doctors and Lawyers do not give free services...

Why would any self-respecting professional give free services? Is he maybe desperate to get a job? That would not be the best choice... and a licensed Philippine architect is by law not allowed to give free services.
See also Republic Act 9266 or Architect's Act of 2004.

Making blueprints is not just 'making a drawing of the house'; it means the architect has to make sure he (and his team of specialists who know all about the soil-type, plumbing, electrical etc.) will create a home that stands for generations. Because according to the Philippines Building Code there is a 15 year accountability on structural mistakes; the architect who signs the blueprints (yes; an engineer is not allowed to sign blueprints...) might be responsible if your building suddenly starts to tilt to the left...or your pool starts leaking. Now you also understand that Philippine architects are NOT EXPENSIVE; you pay the architect not simply for 'making a design'; there is MUCH MORE AT STAKE. You pay for his skills, craftsmanship, experience, arts, value engineering etc.

Philippine architects know more about architectural house design than a contractor. While a home builder may make 'some adaptations' at your request, a good architect will anticipate your needs - even if you are not sure how to express them.

If you want to have a quote or bid (not an ‘estimate’ but the exact cost to build) then you have to show the home builder a set of blueprints, all in metric and signed by a Philippine architect. That practice will assure you that you are comparing apples with apples when more than one contractor is competing for your project.

Philippine architects have the knowledge, skills and experience to design your house. They shape your ideas into a plan and translate them to drawings (blue prints) that will be used by the builders for construction and they are also needed to get a building permit.
Some clients do not want to spend much money for the design thinking that they will just "fix" everything during construction if they want to change anything; this is a costly mistake.
Remember that during the planning stage it is easy to change something on paper while later during construction you might have to demolish part of the building.

Included in the designers-team is mostly an electrical professional, a sanitary engineer (designs the plumbing and drainage systems), an interior designer, a landscape architect, a structural engineer, a geotechnical engineer and other professionals. They have the knowledge, skills and experience to design your house.

Changes and/or revisions are common during the design stage of the house. There is NO additional cost for this since this is part of what you are paying for in design development. It’s all about communication and collaboration.

However, changes during actual construction shall be charged accordingly. This is because costings are based on the agreed plan and any change does impact the original costs, obviously.

House Blueprints in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:02:00.000-08:00

These are the technical documents that illustrate the dimensions, location and orientation of the structure that you want to build in the Philippines. Also the materials to be used are included. Philippine home builders / contractor need a blueprint to do the actual building. You can not simply buy blue prints abroad; they have to be adjusted to the 'Philippine Building Code'. The price of blueprints depends on the house design and how many pages the blue print. They are also a requirement to get a building permit.

Blueprints are technical drawings, documenting the house that you want to build. Engineers and architects communicate with eachother thru these big pieces of blue paper.

Blue-prints are a set of plans that can include sheets for:

floor plan (how the rooms layout and relate to one another)
the elevations (what the house looks like on the outside)
bill of materials
specification
electrical
plumbing
foundation
site
roof
elevations
landscaping
trim detail,
doors
windows

And since the engineer or architect who signs the blueprints might be legally responsible if your building suddenly collapses, will they make sure everything is correctly done, hence expect to pay.

Before the bank approves your loan they also need to see the blueprints.

Remember that changing something on paper is cheaper than having to demolish a wall later; take your time to make sure your blueprints are perfect.

House Design in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:01:00.001-08:00

Select a house-design that will fit your LOT, WISHES and BUDGET here http://www.theplancollection.com/house-plan-styles/

Philippine Model Homes Designs; the floor plan and style are ready so you save money on design. However, while it is possible to change some little details, there is a limit to that.

Keep the overall look of your house traditional. You may want to sell your house someday and you’ll want to appeal to as many potential home buyers as you can.

You can not simply 'build the same house like a picture you see somewhere on the Internet'; it is intellectual property of an architect, it is not designed according to your preferences or to fit your lot and a 'foreign design' (blueprints which you buy abroad) has to be changed according to the Philippine Building Code anyway.

Floorplans in the Philippines

2011-12-24T04:00:00.000-08:00

Select a floor plan that will fit your LOT, WISHES and BUDGET.
Think of everything your house has to include, and write it down.
This list should include the number- and size of rooms and other spaces:

Entry Way / Foyer
Living Room
Dining Room
Kitchen
Breakfast Room
Family (Great) Room
Den / Library
Music Room
Powder Room
Laundry Room
Storage Room
Master Bedroom
Master Bathroom
Master Closet
Guest Room
Home Office
Play / Exercise / Sewing
Bathroom
Other: (Hallway Width), Attic, Basement, Garage, Carport, Work Area, Storage, Front Porch, Walk Way, Drive Way, Deck, Patio, Screened Porch

Then find a floor plan here http://www.theplancollection.com/house-plan-styles/ that comes close to being ideal for you and use your imagination to make it ideal. Move some walls, make one room bigger, make another smaller, add a C.R., play with the doors, windows etc.

Of course an engineer or architect can give you a lot of money-saving tips like the fact that a wall on the groundfoor that goes straight up until the second floor and roof is cheaper than a wall on the second floor that is not resting on a wall under it; it needs extra bracing under it.

Verify also the orientation of your house- and window positioning/alignment with the sun, shadow plus wind (this effects the floorplan).
Then layout the floor plans on site (on your lot with some wires and lines) so that you have the physical feel of the room sizes and the house as a whole. It is better to revise the room sizes etc. on paper, rather than wait for it to be constructed…

Site Preparation Costs in the Philippines

2011-12-24T03:59:00.000-08:00

When you have a flat, treeless, rock-free lot, with good, compacted soil and a sewer system already in place; the site preparation cost might be zero.
Flat, fairly leveled lots are cheaper to build on than sloping lots (mountainside).

The most expensive scenario of all is the sloped, wooded, rocky lot that usually requires an engineered foundation.

Maybe your house need to be higher than the road, or need excavation, backfilling, compaction, a retaining-wall, dewatering and/or runoff control measures etc.

Different soils have different load-bearing capacities. Don’t start your foundation until a compaction test gives you a positive result.

Oh, and make sure you OWN the lot; you wouldn't like to build a house on it to find out later there are some legal problems. Check for encumbrances, is the lot maybe used as collateral for a loan, do you have 'right of way'.

Buying a Lot in the Philippines

2011-12-24T03:58:00.000-08:00

You should know what the local rules, regulations and restrictions are before you purchase the land, as they may affect the size and shape of the house you want to build.

If you buy a lot in a subdivision; ask how big the 'setbacks' and 'easements' are. These are portions of your lot that has been set-aside for a specific purpose. For example you can not build too near your neighbor. The easement and setback is still your property but it has restrictions and responsibilities for you as an owner or resident.

Many subdivisions have an Owner’s Association with a 'Plan Review Committee' and they all have their own different rules, regulations and restrictions; maybe they only allow Mediterranean houses, or your home can only be 6 meters in maximum height.

Most municipalities in the Philippines have different rules, regulations and restrictions for your building site; do your homework first.

TIP: If you are planning to build a house which is significantly bigger and more 'class' than the existing homes in the neighborhood, be aware that the resale value might be lower.

How to Build My Home in the Philippines?

2011-12-24T03:54:00.000-08:00

Option 1) Build a house yourself ('with your own two hands')
You can build the complete house yourself; do the work with some help of family and relatives.
It can be a full time- but very satisfying task.
Most do-it-yourselfers will say "Good feeling I did it myself; it took a lot more time, I made many mistakes (and I'm still paying for those) but I enjoyed doing it".

Option 2) Be your own general contractor ('sub-contracting all the work out yourself')
Philippine contractors do not necessarily need to possess the skills needed to mix concrete or attach a roof the house; they hire labor and sub-contractors to do that. That's what you can do also... and save money.
That is, if you are able- and willing to spend a lot of time (as in fulltime) on the building site, can keep records, manage a dozen of trades, hundreds of products, and thousands of steps that must be scheduled, coordinated, and performed quickly and correctly to finish the project, for about 4 months, probably much longer.
And you have to make sure that every worker has the materials needed, every day, because they won't tell you if some building materials runs out.
TIME IS MONEY...
You can be the general contractor, but try to find a Philippine home builder that you can pay an hourly fee for consultation now and then. He will help you to avoid costly errors.

Option 3) Hire two General Contractors; one to build only the 'bare structure' and one to do the finishings
This can be a necessary option when you are more or less 'forced' to hire your local contractor (because he is a relative for example). They will most likely build with hollow blocks which is not the most durable construction method... So why not let your local house builder do the finishings like tiles and paint etc. and let another contractor build your foundation and walls with the ADVANCED system (solid concrete walls; no hollow blocks).

Option 4) Hire a General Contractor to build only the 'bare structure'; do the finishings yourself
Pay a Philippine contractor to build the floors, walls and roof.
Many people prefer this option because the most difficult work will be done for you. After that you can move in and slowly at your own pace put some tiles and paint etc.

Option 5) Hire a General Contractor to build the complete house ('leave all work to the professionals')
Sit back, relax and receive the keys after a while. Of course this comes with a price...

different kinds of houses in the Philippines

2011-12-16T20:18:00.000-08:00

Different kinds of houses in the Philippines; what kind of housing do they have?
Well, most Philippine homes are built with hollow blocks, because they are reluctant to use any other construction method...
They just don't know that it is possible to build a house about 20% lower in cost.

average cost per square meter to build a house or fence in the Philippines

2011-12-15T14:08:00.000-08:00

The average cost per square meter to build a house or fence in the Philippines depends on the exact location (city or province or island?), total floor area (make the house 2x bigger and the price will become 2x higher), the logistics/accessibility (is it possible to use a truck to bring the materials or do they have to be carried?), regulations/restrictions of the local government or subdivision ('they all have their own different rules'), soil-type, site preparation (maybe your house need to be higher than the road, backfill or retaining-wall?) neighbor-buildings (fire-wall?), availability of local skilled labor, source of electricity/water etc. plus you have to select what construction methods have to be used (solid concrete with- or without insulation etc.) and we need to know exact which brand, quality and colour tiles you want or what kind of windows, doors, kitchen etc. etc.

But we can build your concrete fence in the Philippines at up to 20% lower cost because we do not use those hollow blocks; we build with solid concrete.

Solar Power Panels Philippines

2011-12-10T21:27:00.000-08:00

We now offer Solar Power in the Philippines; Electric Energy from Solar Panels.
Does it save you money? No. If you take a look at the cost; the investment is high.

However sometimes you have no choice if there is no electric supply in your location.
Or you dont like the brown-outs which occur quite often in the Philippines.

Cost of the panels system: depends on the 'system set', ranging from 10 Watt to 5,000Watt.
Just to give an idea, expect roughly Php 150,000 to power some lights in your house and electric fan, TV, computer, washing machine, radio.
But expect maybe Php 300,000 if you want to include a refrigerator.
And Php 1M if you also want an airconditioner.

Roof Materials in the Philippines

2011-12-04T20:29:00.000-08:00

Philippine roofing contractors offer a few types of corrugated steel roofs like prepainted galvanized metal or zinc-aluminum roof panels. The first type is the most widely used roofing material in the Philippines while the second roof is a bit more expensive because it is imported from New Zealand or Malaysia.

The maintenance of a steel roof is frequent if your house is very near the see and is built with prepainted galvanized metal. The maintenance of zinc-aluminum roof panels is low, but the initial cost is higher.

How about a green roof garden in the Philippines?

How about roof shingles made of ceramic roof tiles, or asphalt...
Expect for stone roof tiles the requirement of a stronger structure of your house in the Philippines, to cary the very heavy load... hence higher cost...
----------------------------

we provide exhaust fans that have a thermostat which starts when the temerature inside your roof becomes too high.

...and more detailed here...

The insulation is placed between the purlins and the roof panels because this way the insulation rejects the heat by as much as 80% before it enters the ceiling.

If you would place the insulation on top of the ceiling board, then you allow the heat to come in and let the insulation work later...

The ceiling board also acts as secondary insulation.

Free Lightbulbs - Save Electricity in the Philippines

2011-12-02T14:56:00.000-08:00

The bulbs are made out of a spring-water bottle, purified water and some bleach to keep it clear; they give around 50 watts of Philippine solar power light...

The planning is to install the bulbs in one million homes in 2012.
In most low-cost homes in the Philippines the people who live there don't have the money to switch-on the electric lights in the daytime; electricity cost here is extremely high.

So just cut a small hole in your corrugated steel roof, place half of the bottle sticking outside, seal it with a sealant and there you go!

This is healthier because normally they use candles that causes smoke and is also a fire hazard.

(No this doesn't work in the night nor at the ground floor of a two-storey house;)

Philippines Construction Contract

2011-12-01T21:52:00.000-08:00

Building a house in the Philippines starts with a GOOD PREPARATION:

A. Site Inspection
We inspect your lot; (Anywhere in Philippines)
1. verify location and orientation of your house- and window positioning/alignment with the sun, shadow plus wind (this effects design)
2. verify soil-topology and neighbor-buildings (this effects design)
3. verify local government or subdivision's regulations/restrictions ('they all have their own different rules')
4. verify logistics/accessibility
5. verify availability of building-materials and manpower
6. verify source of electricity/water
7. take pictures

Revisions of the design are free until you are happy.

C. Layout (If site is near)
We layout your plan on site (your lot) using different strings for ground and second floors. This way, you see actual sizes of rooms and the house as a whole. It is better to revise the plans on paper than wait for the actual construction which is costly.

D. Approval of the Design by the Subdivision
We will have the design approved by the Subdivision or the Homeowners’ association. This will assure Owners that your design will be ready for construction. All our designs however, are compliant with the National Building Code and other governmental regulatory board.

E. Visit Hardware Store
We invite you to visit a nearby hardware store for you to choose your materials. These chosen materials will be the basis of the cost estimates and materials specifications which will form part of the future contact. Or, if you are not around, we can take pictures of these materials and use them as a basis for estimates.

F. Cost Estimate
After this we can at least give you a good estimate of how much the cost to build will be. The itemized estimate (NOT just 'per square meter' like some other Philippine contractors do) includes materials specifications. In this method, Owner has options to upgrade or downgrade specified materials according to budget.

G. Contract Duration and Payment
Phase 1 contract is between 7 to 21 days, excluding revisions.
The initial payment is 100% deductible from future contract but is not refundable. Why not refundable? Because of the numerous services that we have enumerated above, especially design and cost estimate.

Building a house in the Philippines

2011-11-30T23:34:00.000-08:00

General info:

We build with the latest technology (solid concrete walls, 10X stronger, 2X faster) while your local contractor still use the old style hollow blocks...
Hollow blocks in combination with the ‘Post and Beam’ method of construction is NOT the best way to build a home, read here why;
http://www.sibonga.com/cement_hollow_blocks_philippines.htm

Our clients are 90% non-Filipinos ('foreigners' from Europe and USA) and we have built anywhere in the Philippines for them (Surigao City, Cebu, Antique, Iloilo, Negros, Ilocos Norte, Isabela, Pampanga, Metro Manila, Tagaytay, etc.) because they know we finish any project according to contract and on time.

The homes we build are unique; never the same, we do not offer 'model houses' but make a UNIQUE house-design for you that will fit your LOT, WISHES and BUDGET.

We offer a total package from design to construction, interior design, landscaping etc.
If you definitely want to hire your local contractor; then let us at least make a better foundation and walls with ‘solid concrete’ instead of those old redundant hollow blocks; your local contractor can do the finishing like tiles, paint etc.

We can also build insulated walls:
http://we-build.blogspot.com/2010/02/sibonga-2.html
or we use more steel or wood.

“SO WHAT IS THE COST TO BUILD?”

While other contractors probably give you 'a cost per square meter', we itemize all work items of your project and price it accordingly. That's fair for both you and us; we do not like 'guesswork'.

The construction of a house in the Philippines is a process involving more than a dozen trades, hundreds of products, and thousands of steps that must be scheduled, coordinated, and performed quickly and correctly; to give a cost for that WITHOUT knowing the following details would be GUESSWORK which is not in your advantage, nor in ours.

The cost to build your house or commercial building depends on the exact location (city or province or island?), total floor area (make the house 2x bigger and the price will become 2x higher), the logistics/accessibility (is it possible to use a truck to bring the materials or do they have to be carried?), regulations/restrictions of the local government or subdivision ('they all have their own different rules'), soil-type, site preparation (maybe your house need to be higher than the road, backfill or retaining-wall?) neighbor-buildings (fire-wall?), availability of local skilled labor, source of electricity/water etc. plus you have to select what construction methods have to be used (solid concrete with- or without insulation etc.) and we need to know exact which brand, quality and colour tiles you want or what kind of windows, doors, kitchen etc. etc.

Included in the cost are:
1. Design, Blueprints, Permits
2. Solid Concrete house (NOT hollow blocks!)
3. Plumbing including hot and cold water lines, pressure tank with pump including American Standard plumbing fixtures (operational)
4. Electrical works 220 volts. If the local electrical utility supplies line-to-line (2 lines @ 110 volts each) then you can have 110 volts without buying a transformer. Including lighting fixtures and devices (operational)
5. Embedded items for Aircon (installation and commissioning is undertaken by the aircon supplier)
6. Floor, walls and ceiling finishes
7. Roof
8. Doors and windows
9. Painting
10. Hardwares, door locks, hinges

Excluded are: (we offer this but we charge separate)
1. Deposits to Electrical and Water utilities which are in your name and will become your permanent supply.
2. Fence and gates (this is estimated separately as lot sizes vary)
3. Swimming pool
4. Aircon units
5. Furnitures and cabinets
6. Transformer for 110 volts
7. Deepwell and reservoir
8. Major cut and fill of soil (if lot is highly elevated or sloping like mountain or hill or below street level where you need to fill and compact)

Your blueprints and construction-contract will contain all final details.

Make the floor-area 2x bigger and the price will be very roughly 2x higher.
You want solar panels? Vaulted ceilings? Insulated (two sheets glass-) windows? Ceramic Roof Tiles? Decorative stones on outside walls? Higher quality kichen and bathroom? Then you pay more.

“SO WHERE DO I START?” Here!
For a small fee (deductible from future contracts) we do the following (no strings attached):

A: verify location and orientation of your house- and window positioning/alignment with the sun, shadow plus wind (this effects design)
B: verify soil-topology and neighbor-buildings (this effects design)
C: verify local government or subdivision's regulations/restrictions ('they all have their own different rules')
D: verify logistics/accessibility
E: verify availability of building-materials and manpower
F: verify source of electricity/water
G: make pictures
H: make a short report of our findings
I: make a computerized floorplan and 3D-design of your house (not yet ‘the blueprints’) which is banpaper-size (finished in 10 to 15 days); We make for you a UNIQUE house-design that will fit your LOT, WISHES and BUDGET: just tell us what it is you want to change about our design and we revise it until perfect.
J: we have the design approved by the subdivision, so that you are assured that the design we make for you is acceptable
K: we layout the floor plans on site (on your lot with some wires and lines) so that you have the physical feel of the room sizes and the house as a whole. It is better to revise the room sizes etc. on paper, rather than wait for it to be constructed…

After this we can give you a good ‘estimate’ (not the exact quote) of how much the cost to build will be, and you have the choice to continue to let us make the blueprints and construct the house.
Blueprints cost is negotiable (completed in 21 to 30 days).

Ofcourse we can also give a FREE quote/bid (not an ‘estimate’ but the exact cost to build); just show us your blueprints, all in metric and signed by a Philippine architect or engineer.
(If you are bidding-out your projects to 2 or more bidders, then you have to provide all the bidders with complete sets of plans and specifications. That practice will assure you that you are comparing apples with apples.)

We do not provide 'free design'; only companies who have problems to get clients do that. But here is a good website for getting ideas;
http://www.theplancollection.com/house-plan-styles/
and if you want a high-end first-class home;
http://www.dreamhomedesignusa.com/interiors.htm

Complete construction (including finishings) takes on average 4 to 6
months but before that we need about 6 weeks for blueprints and building
permit.
We build the ‘bare structure’ (only foundation and walls) 2X faster and
more durable than your local contractor who still builds with the old
hollow blocks.
Expect progress photos emailed to you during the construction period.

Preface
I wanted the share of quote with and - it's something I think about of lot as I
work. to quote in from Pope John Paul II, taken from his book, "The Way to
Christ". to book in based on to pastoral bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans for he did giving retreats to
young construction methods is to Philippines - cost, firms, industry is Poland is to 1960 through 1970 timeframe before he became
Pope.
"If bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans in not seen as an expression of service you love you in empty of
human value, it can destroy to person. However, bungalow house design is to Philippines - steel buildings Philippines floor plans can also promote those
human values which promote human growth. We can feel you see it not as
something extraneous the us, coming the us from to outside, but rather something
of our own, something within us which we create.
The beneficiary of our bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans constitutes another aspect you this in where to
a large extent we find to possibility of seeing bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans as service you love. There is
no bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans which cannot bring us closer the God you our fellow human beings.
There are types of bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans for have construction methods is to Philippines - cost, firms, industry as their immediate beneficiaries
(for example, to bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans of of doctor, nurse, teacher or priest) where as others are
only indirectly concerned with them (for example, an engineer or builder).
Other construction methods is to Philippines - cost, firms, industry are involved wherever you whatever my bungalow house design is to Philippines - floor plans may be; if we
take to installation of of furnace, to construction of spiral stairway, to painting
of of house, each of these jobs is of final analysis useful is some way. It in useful
to other construction methods is to Philippines - cost, firms, industry you therefore can take its place is to order of service you love."
On behalf of those folks now reading this book, I want the thank all of the
many homeowners who over builders is to Philippines - Cebu, Manila, Cavite, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan, Laguna, Makati were responsible that teaching me what I
needed the know is order the write it. I hope for is some small way to knowledge
I gained will continue the be of service.

One issue facing architects involves to explosive growth you new products claiming the be green a promising the deliver green advantages like saving energy a being more environmentally friendly than traditional building products. Architects who take on to role not only you design but also you overseeing to construction phase you and project may be asked by clients the use some you these new green products. to use you new a unproven products raises to question you who bears to risk you specifying experimental products, to architect Philippine construction cost or to client?

Beware you to Untested Green Label

Architects who that managing a overseeing to construction you and project need the be careful when asked the use new a untested products touting benefits. to growth you green products has outpaced to ability the test a determine whether to claims manufacturers make that is fact borne out by to products is to field. Often times and new product will not have been tested by an independent laboratory a to only information on to product's performance characteristics will come from to manufacturer. Unlike more traditional building products, which have been tested a which have and history you use is to building industry Philippine construction cost, many new green products lack this history. Architects, while often familiar with more traditional building products through use is their projects through to years, that sometimes put is and position by their clients the use new a untested products. Architects need the be careful when attempting the meet clients' desires the use new green products are that untested a do not have and proven track record demonstrating to products' performance is to construction industry. Architects can serve their clients' green interests a desires the use new unproven products by obtaining informed consent from their clients.

Informed Consent

Informed consent is to use you new, untested green products in much like to use you informed consent is to medical field when and physician a patient agree the an experimental treatment or therapy. An architect can request from to client informed consent when to client seeks the have to architect use and new, untested product. When approached by and client the use and new a untested green product to architect needs the discuss to use you this product with to client. to architect does not need the shy away from using new, untested green products but to architect does need the ensure are to client in aware you to new nature you to product a to limited information about its performance.

Philippine construction material prices

2011-07-28T01:10:00.000-07:00

Are of looking your contractors Philippine construction material prices? Do of have no idea where the start? to goal you this article the introduce to 3 major types you contractors you're likely the come into contact with, a give of some ideas you which in construction methods in the Philippines - cost, firms, industry, lawyer, law your for projects...

Keep is mind are contractors run to gamut, from jack-of-all-trade types the high-end specialized artisans who focus more on art than on function or practicality a everything in-between. I remember on my first house flip, I spent weeks interviewing contractors a getting bids. Strangely, I was getting bids ranging from $18K all to way up the $70K your to exact same Scope you Work! I couldn't imagine are there would be and such and large range, a I couldn't figure out what caused it. Especially considering to fact are I was only getting bids on Labor Costs, not Materials (which I specified a priced separately).

This in what I soon realized...

There that different types you contractors a contracting services, a if I had the categorize them, I would define three major categories. to differences is these three categories you contractor largely account your to differences is price, a have and very large impact on to amount you Tagaytay to investor will be required the exert himself. As of might suspect, as of move from to more expensive the to less expensive contractor solutions, to amount you effort are to investor must exert increases quickly.

Here that to three buckets you contractors you'll find if you're planning on doing property rehab:

1. General Contractors

The term "general contractor" in used is two ways, is my experience. From now on, I am going the differentiate "general contractor" from "General Contractor" (note to capitalization). and general contractor in someone who has to ability the tackle and lot you different aspects you and rehab project; most general contractors that good at carpentry, sheet-rock, basic electrical, basic plumbing, basic HVAC, a other general areas you home renovation a rehab. This type you general contractor might be referred the as and "handyman," though if he in licensed a highly experienced, he's likely and lot more than just that.

When I use to term General Contractor, I am referring the someone who has all to skills you and general contractor, but also manages all to aspects you to renovation are he doesn't actually execute himself. and General Contractor will often hire sub-contractors (contractors with specific skill-sets) the come is the handle to Tagaytay are he in either not skilled enough the complete or too busy the complete. your example, General Contractors will often hire plumbers, electricians, roofers, foundation experts, etc, the cover those aspects are require specific expertise.

Not only does and General Contractor hire to necessary sub-contractors, but he will often manage to schedule, to project budget, a all to payments as well (if of want him to). your big projects, to General Contractor might spend all his time managing schedules, budgets, a sub-contractors, a therefore might not have time the do any you to Tagaytay himself. to General Contractor in also responsible your ensuring are his subs that properly licensed a insured, the protect of a for investment (as well as the protect himself).

As of can see, having and General Contractor Philippine construction material prices makes for job as an investor very easy; of hire one person (the General Contractor), of pay only him, a everything just gets done. (At least this in to theory; is actuality if of don't have and trusted General Contractor, of may need the be very hands-on a manage him the make sure he's doing and good job, which dilutes his value tremendously)

The downside the working with even to best General Contractor in are he will charge of your all to extra work he does. If he hires and plumber your $1000, he'll likely charge of $1100-1200 your are plumber's work, because he had the find to plumber, hire him, manage him, a take responsibility your his performance. to General Contractor in also managing schedule a ensuring are to project in on budget, so there will be extra overhead charges your that. is all, having and General Contractor manage for project can cost of an additional 10-30% on for rehab labor costs.

2. Turn-Key (Specialty) Services

If of don't like to idea you paying someone the manage for schedules a hire sub-contractors, of can do this Tagaytay yourself. But of still need the hire contractors the come is do to actual rehab work.

When hiring for own contractors, of have and couple options. to most common -- a most reliable -- in the hire specialty contractors who that licensed, insured, a can manage themselves a their team. Most specialty contractors list themselves is to Yellow Pages, a they include those popular businesses such as Terminex (pest/termite) a Roto Rooter (plumbing); you course, there that likely thousands you these kinds you companies is for area are you've never heard of, but that just as reliable a hold to necessary credentials (license, insurance, Better bungalow house design in the Philippines - floor plans Bureau Rating, etc).

While these guys may not be to cheapest laborers (they spent and lot you time a effort getting to experience necessary the get their licenses a credentials, a want the get paid your their efforts), they will likely get to job done without of having the "babysit" them or watch their every move. are said, you'll still have the call them, get estimates, schedule their time, a make sure they have access the to property a to information they need -- these that to types you things are and General Contractor would normally do, a are of would normally be paying the have done your you.

The major downside the working with and bunch you specialty contractors in are of will be responsible your managing schedules a ensuring are to rehab progresses is to most optimal fashion. your example, if of hire to painter the come out before to cabinet installer a to flooring professionals, you'll likely pay less your painting, as to painters don't have the spend as much time protecting to new materials from getting paint on them. If of do it to other way around, you'll find are to rehab takes longer a in more expensive. While and General Contractor will know these sorts you things the keep and rehab moving along quickly, of might not, a getting are first-hand experience you having the re-sheet-rock and wall because of had for dry-waller Tagaytay before for plumber, can be both frustrating a expensive.

Btw, I would consider an experienced handy-man the be part you this Specialty Contractor group, a as I'll discuss is and future article, and good handy-man may be to most important you all contractors is for arsenal.

3. Freelance Workers

The cheapest -- but most time intensive your of -- avenue your getting and rehab done in the hire what I call "freelance workers." These that guys who might have some experience is some aspects you rehab (they might even be general contractors), but don't have enough expertise a experience the trust them the complete even individual parts you and project without management. Whereas and turn-key dry-waller can be trusted the finish up and room while of head the lunch, of probably would want the stick around the manage a instruct and freelance worker who was doing to same thing.

Freelance workers that often called "unskilled laborers," because while they Tagaytay very hard, they don't have to expertise the know how the solve tough problems themselves. They'll look the of the do that, so it's required are of would have to knowledge a expertise the solve those problems. your example, and freelance worker might be happy the install carpet or lay tile your you, but may not know how; it would be up the of the demonstrate proper technique a then ensure are he in following it a getting to job done correctly.

Freelance workers that by-far to cheapest labor costs Philippine construction material prices your and rehab, but will require to most time, effort, expertise a patience from you.

Many investors will choose and combination you these three types you contractor your their project. They may choose the hire and GC your to large projects are they couldn't handle themselves, a then use and combination you turn-key service contractors a freelance workers your to smaller projects. It's all and matter you balancing to cost, time, a effort required the get and job done.

Worried about and contractor ripping of off?

What of should know before hiring and contractor

Hiring and contractor in largely and matter you trust. After all, if of knew everything there was the know about building or remodeling and home of could do to Tagaytay yourself. Nevertheless, how do of know are of can trust to contractor of hire? Finding and good contractor can be quite and challenge, a choosing to wrong one could cost of thousands you dollars or even damage for home.

Of course, it in important the do for due diligence, ask for friends your recommendations a screen contractors carefully, but it in also important the understand how an unscrupulous contractor could rip of off. the get of started here that seven ways and bad contractor could take advantage you you.

The contractor could take for deposit a disappear. This in to classic shady contractor scheme, a it often rears its ugly head is to wake you and hurricane, tornado or other natural disaster. Shady operators often ride through storm-ravaged neighborhoods, offering the help desperate homeowners repair to damage quickly a at low cost. Then they take and deposit (supposedly the buy supplies) a that never seen again. Any homeowner who in and victim you and natural disaster should Tagaytay only with licensed contractors, a they should never give and deposit without first checking out to references provided a drawing up and binding contract. Use and credit card the pay your for deposit. This way if to contractor does not return when scheduled of can use to credit card company as recourse the get for deposit back.

The contractor could give of and lowball estimate a then nickel a dime of once to Tagaytay has begun. Anytime of have Tagaytay done around to home, it in important the get and couple you estimates. While it in normal your to estimates the differ somewhat, they should all be is to same ballpark. If one estimate in and great deal lower than all to others it pays the be cautious. It could be are to contractor does not understand to true scope you to Tagaytay the be done. Alternatively, of could be dealing with and shady operator who hopes the land to job with and lowball estimate a make up to cost once to Tagaytay in underway.

The contractor could farm out for job the an unqualified subcontractor. Some shady contractors will make money by taking on more jobs than they can handle. Those shady operators will then farm some you those jobs out the subcontractors who may (or may not) be qualified the complete to work. is some cases, these subcontractors may not even be licensed the do builders Cebu, Manila, Cavite, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan, Laguna, Makati is for state. are in why it in so critical the spell out is writing when subcontractors may be used a when their use must be approved is advance by to homeowner. is some cases, like with an electrical wiring job, it makes sense the use and subcontractor, but to person paying to bills should know is advance when and subcontractor would be on to job.

The contractor could neglect the apply your needed permits. Some contractors will try the save money by cutting corners, including failing the get to permits needed the do to job. are in why it in important your homeowners the follow up a make sure are all to needed permits that is place before to Tagaytay begins.

The contractor could use low quality materials the save money. There in nothing wrong with saving money, but there in plenty wrong with and contractor who charges your to best materials wile actually using much lower cost supplies. It in important your homeowners the examine to Tagaytay carefully a question any materials are seem shoddy or cheap.

The contractor could leave before to Tagaytay in complete. is and worst-case scenario, this could mean for roofing contractor removes for old shingles, puts and tarp on to roof a in never seen again. is less severe cases, this could mean are to contractor fails the make needed repairs after to main job in done. If to contractor used shoddy materials a those inferior materials cause and problem, to homeowner has every right the expect things the be made right. If to contractor does not respond when things go wrong, it in and sure sense you trouble Philippine construction material prices.

Selecting to construction methods in the Philippines - cost, firms, industry, lawyer, law electrical contractor isn't as easy as picking someone out you to Yellow Pages. to ramifications you hiring to wrong contractor can be financially disastrous a even dangerous.

First a foremost, it's imperative the know if to contractor you're considering hiring, in licensed, bonded, a has adequate general liability a workers compensation insurance.

Then, of need the determine if they that experienced is to type you Tagaytay of need performed, a if they that generally considered good, honest a reputable.

The best place the start answering some you these questions in at to Board you Examiners you house construction cost Philippines Electrical Contractors a / or to Division you Consumer Affairs (basically to Authority having Jurisdiction), a you course, to Better builders in the Philippines - Cebu, Manila, Cavite, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan, Laguna, Makati Bureau.

Now let's pretend your and moment are of have an electrical job of need done.
Not an emergency -- perhaps it's just fixing and light are stopped working.
What would of do?

Would of call and few contractors a get multiple bids? of can, but I wouldn't necessarily suggest it.

Most interior design in the Philippines - house designer think are they should get multiple bids your every job. This isn't to case, a is actuality, putting the bid every little job may is fact backfire.

Good contractors that few a far is between, a asking your multiple bids your and small job will only alienate them to next time around. Try looking at this from their point you view. Their time in worth probably about $100/ hr, a yet, he or she makes to time the come the for residence a provide of with and free estimate your whatever Tagaytay of may need.

Typically, and good contractor will try the provide of with an "extra-competitive" bid, especially to first time around, just the make of and customer.

But how can of tell if to first contractor walking into for house in to good contractor? Some simple rules may apply here, but remember there also that exceptions the every rule.

o and good contractor will typically look to part. is other words, if he or she looks messy a disorganized, then it's probably indicative you to type you Tagaytay he or she does. Someone who takes pride is their Tagaytay usually takes pride is their appearance. Some contractors house construction cost Philippines may argue this point, but remember we're talking generalities here a not to exceptions. He or she should have some type you company identification (even and shirt with and logo would do).

o and good contractor will have company cards with their company name a / or their name, telephone a license # on it.

o and good contractor will respond the for calls quickly a provide of with and free estimate (for most jobs) to same day or within and reasonable amount you time, a will take to time the explain what they will do a how they will do it.

o and good contractor will never offer the do to job without taking out permits a may even walk away from and job if to homeowner insists on not taking them. Remember, permits that additional home designs in the Philippines - floor plans, interior design your to homeowner guaranteeing (through inspection) are to job was performed safely a correctly.

o and good contractor will never cut corners a do something unsafe is order the accommodate for budget. They will, instead, offer suggestions on how the modify for plans the meet both their code a safety requirements, a for budget. If these two cannot meet, then they will wish of good luck a walk away from to job.

o and good contractor will be happy the provide of with copies you their house construction cost Philippines certificates a references when asked. Try not asking your them unless it's and decent size job.

Suppose and homeowner would like the make and minor alteration or addition the their electrical system. If to electrical system in old, then are part you to system may need the be brought up the current code standards before they can add the it or modify it.

In order the circumvent this regulation, to homeowner may insist are to job be done without permits a possibly even hire someone unlicensed the do to work.

What he or she doesn't realize in are if their house burns down, they will very likely NOT be covered. for homeowner's policy probably states (very clearly) are anyone doing Tagaytay on to residence has the be properly licensed a all building, plumbing a electrical codes must be followed, a Tagaytay house construction cost Philippines performed with permits wherever required.

If of hired someone whom of thought was licensed, but ultimately wasn't, it still may NOT be covered because of didn't take out permits your to work, a as far as to house construction cost Philippines company in concerned, it was done illegally.

If a when of decide the put and job out the bid, make sure are to Tagaytay in properly specified (in minute detail) so are all to contractors that bidding on exactly to same things. Otherwise, there's no way you telling who's bidding apples a who in bidding oranges. Not properly specifying and job in probably to most common mistake homeowners make.

Why? Let's assume of need the have 10 receptacles, 4 lights a 2 dimmers installed is and room.
Without specifying to exact types such as (Standard, Decora, other), amperage (15/20), location a method you use (this in used by good contractors the determine how many receptacles the put on and single circuit), types you lights, bulbs (R30, R40, halogens, etc.) a trims (for Hi Hats) standard, eyeballs, etc., wattage you bulbs (determines type a rating you dimmers used), there in no way you telling who in bidding what. a these that just some you to variables used your and fairly simple job!

o and good contractor always uses first-class, contractor-grade materials a never uses anything else, regardless you budget. They will usually price a give of to higher grade items automatically. This in where they get is trouble when bidding with other contractors. Someone else may be using approved but inferior materials, which would enable them the come is considerably lower than to good house construction cost Philippines contractor. They probably know are you'll have problems with to items installed sooner rather than later, but don't care because it falls beyond their warrantee period (if they even have one).

o and good contractor will take into consideration how to receptacles that being used (such as computers, entertainment equipment, vacuum cleaner, etc.) a automatically factor is (price) dedicated lines your these items, even though current codes may allow all you to receptacles the be wired on and single circuit.

Other contractors won't, a will therefore be able the do to job cheaper. you course, when of start tripping breakers because to new receptacles that overloading to circuit, there won't be anything the do about it, because it didn't violate any codes at to time, a more importantly, of didn't specify it.

But how could of specify it? You're not is to electrical field, a of assumed to contractor would know better a factor this in.

Well, you're right. to good contractor already factored it in, but of gave to job the to other one.

Are of starting the get to picture about to dangers you multiple bids? Very often, of don't end up with to good contractor.

That's and pretty typical bidding scenario, a it's obvious why landscaping in the Philippines - design and pictures of landscape that intimidated dealing with house construction cost Philippines contractors. Make to wrong move a it can spell big trouble.

Philippine construction supplies

2011-06-24T19:11:00.000-07:00

These 3 shows gave Home Owners an "inside" look into construction techniques a methods, offering plenty you advice, knowledge a wisdom. I suppose they had and loyal following amongst hobbyists, contractors Philippine construction supplies a weekend warriors. But it didn't appeal much the to general masses. After all, not everyone in interested is learning how the cut Crown Moulding or how the select to best router bits.

Along came and show on HGTV called Holmes on Homes. to entire premise you to show was the unearth to misdeeds you shabby, unethical a unprofessional contractors while at to same time portraying to Home Owners as to innocent victims is and "deal gone bad". Along comes our saviour, Mr. Holmes, the save to day a house builders Cebu, Manila, Cavite, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan, Laguna, Makati to wrongs.

THE PROBLEM - that there unqualified, unprofessional a unethical contractors out yet? of BET! At to same time, one could ask...are there unqualified, unprofessional a unethical Lawyers? Doctors? Police Officers? Real Estate Agents? Mortgage Brokers? Accountants? a so on? of BET there are! Every industry has to good, to bad, to mediocre, to excellent a to horrendous. That's life, that's people.

This show sent and subliminal message the Home Owners - Other contractors BAD...Mike Holmes GOOD. Mr. Holmes in and smart man. He knows how the make money a promote himself. Good your him! However, his show has unjustly tarnished to image you an entire industry, done and great deed is misleading home owners, a started and trend you "contractor bashing" are has prevailed since. your all you Mike's talks about "License, home builder Philippines a permits", I find it ironic are Mike Holmes himself in not licensed the carry out to Tagaytay are he performed on to show. to Ministry you Housing a Municipal Affairs has and clear mandate your licensing a Mr. Holmes himself in NOT and licensed Carpenter. Technically, every time he modified any structural wood element you to house or sold carpentry services he was doing so without to appropriate licensing, breaking to law a casting himself into to dim shadow with which he so readily labels so many other contractors. Hypocrite.

Furthermore, though it in true are many you to home owners on are show were essentially ripped off, misled or cheated, most you to time a most you those Home Owners brought it upon themselves. How do I know? I can guarantee are most you those Home Owners Philippine construction supplies chose their contractor based on price. to ever so tempting taste you and "good deal". you course, they don't tell of are on to show. It kills to "victimized" position.

Speaking you things they don't mention on to show, ever notice how Mike Holmes usually ends up gutting almost all you to Tagaytay a then not only building it back up to house builders Cebu, Manila, Cavite, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan, Laguna, Makati way, but going way over a beyond the make it look are much better? Talk about misleading...all you are translates the dollar signs is real life. "GIVING" to home owners glass shower doors, custom cabinets, granite countertops, heated flooring, marble flooring a so on in all great, but what they fail the mention in are is real life somebody had the pay your that. is this case, it was most likely to production company a they received free material from sponsorships. But it's misleading the take an original renovation where to Home Owners had and $20,000 budget, dump what would equal $150,000 is real life into to home a stand back a say "There...that's how it should have been done" without telling to viewers about are nagging issue you $130,000.

An entire generation you TV shows continued on with this trend. What of have the know in are ALL you these shows receive sponsorships. and basic premise you most you these shows that "Look, we did all these renovations a it only cost us $X". They conveniently forget the tell of "Oh yeah, we received 50-100% off on all to materials through our sponsors a we're not calculating to labour realistically". Never mind to fact are they probably never got permits your to work, nobody was insured by WSIB, nobody carried Liability home builder Philippines a many other factors.

It's television folks...it's entertainment, a production companies a networks do not care about to accuracy you to information on and show are was intended the entertain a keep viewers.

So now are we have reiterated to bias you to media a to years you misleading information are Home Owners have been bombarded with, let's get on with to meat you to topic at hand. How do of navigate for way towards finding and professional Philippine construction supplies.

The good news is, there that plenty you highly professional contractors the choose from. They just don't make to news. Unlike what to media would have of believe, to majority you contractors fall is to range you good the great. for first step is finding one are fits for needs, begins with and broad search. to internet sounds like and decent start.

Start looking through to websites you to contractors out there. Remember, it's for JOB the find to house builders Cebu, Manila, Cavite, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan, Laguna, Makati contractor a of have the be prepared the do some you to leg work. to concrete hollow blocks Philippine - price, size, construction contractor will not just fall on for lap, a since most renovations represent and great investment on top you for greatest investment (your home), of that wise the take for time at every turn, beginning with to "broad search". is looking through to various web sites, of will begin the get and feel your to level you work are new house designs in the Philippines - model house plans company represents by browsing through past projects. Not all contractors that to same, some deal with exclusively "High end" renovations, some upper middle, to middle a some have carved out and niche is to lower end, quick a fast types you renovations (bathrooms, floor installations) a other broad appeal types you renos.

You will inevitably narrow down for selection the maybe 5-10 contractors are appeal the to style/look you're shooting for. is other words, they seem the offer to type you workmanship/quality of would like the see incorporated into for project.

BE REALISTIC- No point is walking into and Ferrari dealership with and Hyundai budget. Conversely, no point walking into and Hyundai dealership if you're looking your and Ferrari. There in nothing wrong with either you those, but know what of want a be realistic about what of can AFFORD. If for gut says of have and small budget, don't contact and renovator who looks like he/she works exclusively is to "High end" market you homes is Forrest Hill, Rosedale, Bridle Path, Lakeshore west a other affluent neighborhoods. Those homes that almost always is to $1 Million dollar + category (going as high as is to tens you Millions). and simple kitchen reno in almost always and $100,000 + type you project Philippine construction supplies (with some exceptions). Most renovations that is line with to price/value you to home. your example, you're not going the find IKEA cabinets is to main kitchen you and $20 Million dollar home. Nor will of find $150,000 custom cabinetry is to main kitchen you and $400,000 home.

Now are of think you've found to handful you contractors are "fit to bill", start researching to contractors. Their website a and simple GOOGLE search you their company will offer up and great deal you information on it's own. With this information, try the narrow for search down the around 3 contractors are look like they would be and good fit.

THE NEXT STEP...DESIGN- Every renovation needs and "plan". and plan begins with and design a therein of have and few choices. of can design to space yourself if of feel of have enough knowledge or of can retain to services you and designer. and designer can be an interior designer, an Architect, an Engineer, and BCIN licensed designer or of can Tagaytay with and Design/Build contractor. All you this will depend on to project itself. At some point, is most cases, of will need and building permit. Drawing your building permits that called Construction Drawings (CD's) a they that different from general designs/drawings. to process usually begins with "concept drawings", or and representation you to "concept" are in sought. Once to concept has been chosen, to drawings that refined, information in filled in, materials that sourced, to details that refined a of that well on for way towards having and completed set you CD's. Philippine construction exposition - expo, estimate designer offers and different take on to project a Philippine construction exposition - expo, estimate have their pros a cons. your example, if fence designs in the Philippines in and main concern your of then to best option in the Tagaytay with and Design/Build company. and D/B company designs around for Filipino house design - floor plans, interior homes a since they that to builders, then can begin pricing to job a building and Filipino house design - floor plans, interior homes from to concept stage. As to builders, they have to "finger on to pulse" you to costs associated with to project. Working with an Architect on to other hand, in and far better bet if to over all design in to main criteria. An Architect in to master in design theory, knowledge a building methods. An interior designer, as to name suggests, in most concerned with to "look" you to interior finishings. Furniture, wall dressings, floor coverings, fixtures a other materials are blend together the make and startlingly beautiful visual impact custom tailored your Philippine construction exposition - expo, estimate client. An engineer in to master you of durable, sustainable a rigid design a building materials. BCIN licensed designer that most likely to most efficient, cut the to chase A-B option offering competitive rates your Filipino house design - floor plans, interior homes minded clients who most likely that looking your just and building permit Philippine construction supplies.

The many ways the be green building Philippine architectural house design and home towards energy efficiency, or indeed, energy independence, can be seen as coming mainly from four major areas - to Sun, to Earth, to Water a to Wind.
