The
Benefits of Building Your Dream-House in the Philippines
You probably found on the
Internet some houses with some features that you like but none of them are
100% what you are looking for?
BUILDING a HOME in the Philippines has many
advantages; maybe you already have a lot somewhere so you save on that and
you can design your 'dream house' to fit your lot and wishes and budget.
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 your house to fit your lot and wishes and
budget.
We have to see the lot first because the exact location,
the logistics/accessibility, regulations/restrictions of the local
government or subdivision, soil-type, neighbor-buildings, orientation of
the house towards sunlight, availability of local skilled labor, source of
electricity/water etc. effects the design/price.
Our architect and
sanitary-, electrical-, civil- engineer do not simply 'draw a house'; they
make sure your house will be structually solid plus comfortable,
functional and pleasing for the eye.
We will discuss with you what
materials you prefer; for example what kind of kitchen and what tiles,
doors, roof etc. We will guide you also to some hardware stores to select
the best materials. The price also depends on the total floor area. This
way you are the one who deceides what your house will cost; only
then we can give a reasonable estimate.
It is like buying a car;
anything is possible and anything has its price.

Our
price/estimate 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 (blue prints) from our architects and
engineers and you ofcourse.
We need to know from you; what do
you expect from your dreamhouse? What have to be included? What do you NOT
like? What matters MOST to you?
If you have not yet deceided
about what kind of kitchen and other finishings you want; we can still
start with the 'bare structure' (only the walls, windows, roof and
doors) and do the finishings later.
For a FREE initial
consult you are welcome in one of our offices.
For clients abroad we
mostly start the design-process to make sure that only a few salient
issues are left when you come over to the Philippines; this maximizes your
stay here and will avoid time pressure.
The First Step is now Easy
We have made the first step for
you very easy; we offer you to start with the 'schematic
design'; you do not have to engage in any contract-signing; 'no strings
attached'. We will investigate if the local government or subdivision
has rules that influence the amount of lot-space you can use for the house
etc. This way you will get a solid foundation for your plans and a good
overview; 'peace of mind'.
The 'schematic design'
process:
* We collect all data available for the design of
the house.
* Inspection of the site (lot), where we take pictures for
you also.
* 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 for owners approval subject to
relevant revisions incorporating owners requirement and actual condition
of the lot.
* Submit colored floor plan and perspective of the
schematic design, for owners approval.
* Prepare a budgetary estimate
and establish construction timeline for owners approval.
* Prepare
materials specification for owners approval.
