Philippine Construction Cost; Quality at Affordable Prices
... If you are looking for the lowest price we can not help you ...
You can easily find a local
architect / contractor who is very eager to design- or build your house at a low
price. Only the problem is that you force him to use inferior materials and use
any trick to keep his cost down to still make a profit. The sad result you will
see after the contractor finished your house...
We focus on quality, durability and after-sales service.
Our experience is your profit; we will lead you step-by-step through
the design- and construction process.
What is the cost to build a home in the Philippines?
We do not offer a 'standard designed house' (model home) because it can never be exactly what you want; it will not fit your lot and the floorplan is not as you like it etc. Therefore we design a UNIQUE house to fit your LOT, WISHES and BUDGET.
The cost to build
your house or commercial building depends on 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. plus you have to select
what level of finishing you want:
A) 'Budget' or 'Low Cost' (ordinary ceramic tiles or vinyl, ordinary
paint, G.I. galvanized steel long span roofing, steel casement windows)
B) 'Average finish' (ceramic- and granite tiles or wood floor
panels/parquet, good quality paint, insulated G.I. galvanized steel long
span roofing, steel casement windows, cabinets in kitchen and bedrooms)
C) 'High-end first-class finish' (imported tiles or wood floor panels/parquet, Decore-
or Multiflex paint, wall-mouldings, insulated G.I. galvanized steel long span roofing or
clay tiles, aluminum or PVC framed windows, laminated cabinets in kitchen
and bedrooms, hot and cold water)
We can only give you an EXACT price for construction if we know all
details
(so we know exact what is included and what quality etc.) and we have to
see the lot.
You do not like 'guess-work' and neither do we.
Our price does not come from 'out of nowhere'. In getting the EXACT cost
of construction, our practice is to itemize all scope of works and
materials based on complete plans from architects and engineers and you
ofcourse.
* We collect all data available for the design of the house.
* Inspection of the site (lot) where we also can take pictures for you if
you want.
* Evaluation of 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 this effects the design/price.
* Draft a short report for owners info and evaluation.
* Make schematic design and floor plan for owners approval subject to
relevant revisions incorporating owners requirements and actual condition
of the lot.
* Make the blueprints, apply for a building permit and start construction.
Construction takes roughly 5 months but before that we need about 6 weeks
for blue prints and building permit.

The most affordable house we can build cost US$ 25,000 (Php 1M)

How to select a Philippine contractor?
If you ask a Philippine
contractor to calculate the price of building your house he needs to know
exactly what design you like, all measurements and what materials you select;
maybe you want imported materials or Philippine-branded or 'not-branded with the
same quality' (which is cheaper) etc. etc. The cost of building a house in the
Philippines normally depends on the design, floor area, location, materials & method of
construction, even the timetable will adversely affect costs.
(By the way; Philippine architects and contractors can not give you a free list of materials or
make the design for free; this is a professional service that has to be payed
for.)
