House Construction

[_Cathy_]

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.

if he's going to lay down all the wires and pipes etc, okay na yung P9300? Nginatngat daw kasi ng daga yung wiring. 2 days daw niya gagawin. 21 butas lang pala so P6300 but still I find it so steep for 2 days. Yun ba talaga ang rate? Dapat dinala ko na lang all around namin sa bahay namin sa province

Hindi naman new house yung samin, napabayaan lang kaya inanay at dinaga. Hehe.

Just get somebody else, kung 2 days at 1k per day ay 2k lang. If I were you, try to haggle 1.5k, usually ung mga ganyan will cut their asking by half or 3k, then you know na sinusubukan nya maka jackpot sa iyo. May ganyan na lumapit sa akin, lilinisin, put bermuda grass and stepping stones sa garden ko for 6k. I told him I'll think about it, in a few minutes he brought it down to 3k, so I got pissed and told him I'll just call him when I decide. Ending I got someone who did it for 2k.

Wala na kami ibang kilala. Nabili na nga mga outlet and switch and wire. Naisip ko hindi ko na ipagawa [emoji35] Ang lumalabas P2625 per day tapos utang na loob pa namin na hindi niya kami sisingilin nung per day niya as worker/carpintero. Balak i on top pa yung P800 per day ata niya. Sheesh talo pa sweldo ng AM sa bangko (P3435/day) e ang haba mag lunch at aga umuwi sabi ng pinagkakatiwalaan namin

Bakit may mga tao mapagsamantala? Hindi nila naisip hindi na uulit sa kanila.

What do you think is a reasonable rate for those 21 butas?

Daily rate lang ng electrician sa area pwede na. Kung matapos nya 1 day then good, if not, he will definitely finish it early on the second day. This is much better than pakyaw because he will do the work better to make it longer. Pakyaw kasi gets you a sloppy job on a much higher daily rate.

Pero kung sya gagawa dapat same daily rate lang. Carpenter/all around tapos kung may electrical work, special rate? Baka pag tinanong mo sya kung ano maganda para sa sakit ng ulo, singilin ka ng doctor's fee [emoji23]

Yes ganun na nga! Sabi niya electrician din daw siya but now I am starting to doubt. Dapat talaga yung all around na lang namin dinala ko sa province.

Sinabi ko rin sa driver namin, sobrang affected. LOL! Naka ilang tawag na, sana siya na lang daw gumawa. Ipatigil ko daw LOL. Tinanong niya electrician friend niya, ang sabi P3500 daw, yung cousin ko sabi P4000 pwede na.

So tama nga yung sabi mo na tawad ng half kasi if I tawad ng P3k, mag bargain pa yun we will end up at P3500 or P4000 pa rin. Ang problema sinimulan na pala kanina yung work e wala naman kami go signal!

Who here has a Smart home?

Is it worth it? Or did you get sawa after a few uses? Party trick lang? Or really useful?

What are the things to avoid?

What are the essentials?

And how about future proofing?

Im thinking i need for lights but how hard is it to turn on a switch really?

Too early to future-proof w/ smart systems at their infancy. You'll likely feel like an experiment & AI is coming.[emoji4] Invest in solar instead, sir.

Last 2020, I constructed an annex with garage to my existing house. I used smart switches bought from Lazada for all the lights of the annex.

It's really useful as I can automate which lights will turn on and off at certain times of the day.

I can set zones in the app so I can turn on or off all of the lights in a certain room. And when I am away and I see in the CCTV that certain lights were left On, I can turn them off remotely.

Party trick that will eventually wear off ... are people so lazy that they cannot make effort to turn off a switch? ... then they pay gym membership to exercise? ... If you have extra funds, it's good to have ... but personally, it's another thing to break in the future ... maybe for selected external lights for security it would be useful since you can set schedule ... it's the same with those electronic door locks ... making it easy for hackers to break-in ...

Better to spend on the new generation of LED lights that has just one transformer / adapter ... you have one central unit in your ceiling / roof and the lights are connected via 12V line and not 220V per light + adapter ...

Yes I think at most will do like boybi for lighting (exterior) and invest the rest in Solar .

But i wont do those remote controlled curtains, thermostat, etc.

What is a decent cctv system that u can access on your phone without needing static IP?

Most CCTV now don't need static IP. Dadaan ka sa cloud ng CCTV company to access your CCTV. So Xi Jing Ping may be watching your home

Regarding smart switches, I've been using my smart switches for more than 2 yrs na, and I really find it very convenient. I usually check my CCTV before I go to sleep, and will sometimes find one or 2 lights left On. I just turn it off using the app, kesa mawala antok ko kung puntahan ko pa yung switch. Which maybe downstairs or outside.

[EQAddict]

Thanks.

Seems i will be doing smart lights and cctv.

am not into home theatre or audio.

Maybe some blinds, sunshades. Maybe only.

Definitely solar though am thinking if i will go battery or not.

Get battery ... good for at least 24 hours power ... also have provision in garage for EV charger(s) ... Remember, if NET metering, your solar power panels WILL NOT be able to power your house ...

[Akky M]

On going construction as well on our new house, will be doing smart lights mainly for those outside the house. Cctv will be installed as well.

I was actually thinking to have solar + batt. Batt mainly to support lights.

Good inputs to add provision for charger at the parking area.

Home EV chargers (7kw) don’t need 3ph. But if you want fast chargers (22kw and above), then you’ll definitely need 3ph.

With or without net metering, hindi talaga magagamit sa gabi.

[xwangbu]

hehe medyo di clear kung ano nga ibig sabihin.

pero kahit with batteries for storage -pwede net metering. mas magastos nga lang.

[doo]

Pag Grid-tie system di magagamit sa gabi or whenever may power outage.
