cost of construction materials

[icho]

Hi guys/gals,

Meron bang nakakaalam magkano ang mga construction materials ngayon? (e.g. cement, bars, hollow blocks etc. ). Balak ko kasi patayo bahay by January bali bare lang muna tsaka na finishings except tiles ng CR.

Gusto ko malaman cost ng materials para maestimate ko kung sesementuhan garage o bawasan height ng walls and etc.

and kung meron kayong tips para makatipid (e.g. mas ok ba mag brick floors para sa garage o i semento) or anong dapat iwasan, ok din

Tnx!

Here's some sample prices I'm quoting from an in-law's costing sheet (don't know kung may patong or discount, ha...)

Portland Cement - 170 per bag
Sand - 45 per bag
Gravel - 60 per bag
10mm steel bars - 120 per piece
Hollow Blocks - 8 per piece
Waterproofing - 520 per gallon

Of course, you can follow Raikonen's link to the Construction thread to get a good idea about how to estimate your cost per square meter... but it will be different for plain remodelling and slabbing.

Thanks

Good info din yung sa link kaso estimation nila is with finishing na. I'm looking for more detailed costing like the one you posted so I'll know roughly how much I'll save if I remove/reduce some parts of the house.

Nag-slab ako ng driveway last year, pero nakalimutan ko kung magkano... mga 10k lang yata inabot... pero not so sure... and I don't know if they used metal bars for reinforcement, light vehicles lang naman ang dumadaan.
