Got some ideas from this channel and was able to build an A-frame farm house in the province.

Home - Kanto - Creative Corners

BluPrint - The Definitive Authority for Architecture and Design in the Philippines and Southeast Asia

Architecture from Philippines | ArchDaily

Then theres Instagram, I particularly like *musebase_official, *wallflower_architects, *pitsou_kedem_architects, and many more

But try to have one cohesive idea so your house wont look "chopsuey"

Kung lay out marami different sites, kung interior design, I use Pinterest, pasok lang ng pasok ang designs sa feed.

But don't worry too much about design, kasi kahit ma perfect mo yan, after 1 year, may makikita ka na "sana ganito ang ginawa ko" [emoji38]

Thinking of open space ground floor indoor outdoor ... but how to deal with mosquitoes and bugs ... for security, maybe put roll up doors ... or maybe use big louver doors ... then there's the matter of dust ...

Also thinking of just omitting the living room and have a home theater room in it's place ...

[Walter]

Makes you wonder if there are no bugs in Malaysia ... or these people are somehow immune to mosquito bites ...

What is your ideal size for a home (floor area)? ... Will 50T / square meter allocation be good enough these days? ... How long does it normally take to build a house? ... Just give estimates ... Thank you ...

[papi smith]

My ideal minimum is 20 sqm each for bedrooms, sala, kitchen, dining and utility areas, 8 - 10 sqm for T&B, and 48 sqm for garage, 3 meters easement front and 2 meters for the other 3 sides and all of these in a bungalow set up. Bonus na lang kung may loft, so need to allocate for stairs also.

As for budget, to give you an idea, a new construction in front of me costs 40/sqm, with no fence, gates and landscaping and probably a simple kitchen. So sakto ang 50k to complete everything including additional fixtures or upgraded finishing specs.

For a 2 storey 200 sqm house 6 - 8 months is enough if the contractor has enough people.

50T is on the high side na, although it depends din sa location ng house, and also the total area of the house to be built. The smaller the area, the higher the cost per sqm.

[Walter]

50T was high pre-covid? ... but now materials cost more? ... not sure ... used to be 25T-30T was minimum ...

On another note ... how much do build and sell usually mark up? ...

[papi smith]

Mine was done at 25k pre COVID. My neighbor was quoted 30k after lockdown but was revised to 35k due to inflation, this is basic finish.

[boybi]

Depende pa din sa location ng project.

Labor in NCR is higher, also with gravel and sand.

[Walter]

Aren't materials more expensive the farther away from NCR you are ... additional shipping cost ...

Depends on the material and where you’re located. Cements and wood come from the provinces. Shipping cost for other materials might be negligible. But with labor costing as much as 30-40% of the project, that is significant.

that's what happened to our house in the province, it's slightly more expensive than Manila.

First time ko nakarinig ng ganyan.

Unless yung workers lahat galing din ng Manila.

[Akky M]

Mas cheaper pa din sa province nung nagpagawa ako ng vacation haus late 2020 to 2021, kumuha ako ng separate contractor for the whole roof trusses structure using thicker gauge roofing, significantly cheaper compare sa Manila.

Solid narra door na custom size na height and width, 6 in total, sobrang mura compare sa Manila.

No, province. I meant the materials

Totoo ba ngayon na ang singil ng electrician per "butas" like outlet or switch? Papalitan kasi yung mga outlet/switch sa bahay namin sa province and he said P300 each e total of 31 yun We haven't had any electrical work done in our house in Manila e yung mga little things yung all around na namin gumagawa

Yes, per butas but usually that price means he will lay down all the wires, pipes etc. as in full lay out ng electrical system ng under construction na bahay. Pag simple palit lang ng outlet or switch much much less because pwede palitan ang isa in 10 minutes or less. let's say na 15 minutes na, so 4 in 1 hour, in 8 hours, that's 32 outlets. No one's going to pay 9300 kesos for that hehe. I would give it to him for 1000 lahat na. That's generous na given na hindi kailangan electrician ang magpalit nyan. But still better to get an electrician just in case things pop up that only an electrician can solve right away.
