House Construction

[boybi]

Last quotation for a 3 floor glass elevator was around 2.5-2.8m for Cibes or Aritco, their prices were similar. A 2 floor version will cost less. The Mitsubishi residential one is cheaper but I havent had one quoted in a while since most prefer the the glass elevator but it was 20% cheaper a couple of years ago.

Thank you!

quick background...

pinuntahan ko mom ko last Sat then I noticed na yung house ng neighbor nya (incl yung katabing house) was demolished to be replaced by a commercial building) - hinuhukay na yung basement kaya super traffic...

then I realized... for constructions that big, ano kaya ginawa ng construction company sa septic tank/pozo negro nung house?

do they just load those things in a giant truck for disposal somewhere? wala lang, na-curios lang bigla

malamang sipsip muna. then demolish the tank, kasama na din sa excavation.

Unless, they will reused it for the new building

is it possible, they will re-use it or even upgrade it, instead of demolishing it?
or they can simply demolish and build over it.
and yes, the malabanan-type service providers do a simple job of slurping the mess.

I saw the hole they were digging... septic tank is gone!

ito nga naiisip ko... even if they call Malabanan... removing whats inside tapos demolishing the thing will still result to a very foul smell...

so possible na sip-sip, then demolish, then on the same day, load all crushed parts sa truck for transport? still a smelly day for the neighbors.

We have a bodega in our backyard that our all around/boy (who went AWOL) stripped and dismantled (no ceiling, removed the doors and windows, whole roof needs to be replaced etc) It's 25 sq m and we convinced our driver to move in there with his family. I don't know how 4 of them could fit in 25 sq m but I am glad he agreed

Anyway, we asked our driver if he knows someone who can replace the whole roof, install ceiling, electrical for bulbs, faucets, doors, windows and make kinis (because it's hollowblocks) We were quoted P100k for labor and P200k for materials for a 25 sq m structure???. I am shocked. Is that how it is talaga?!!?? It wll be basic lang, no tiles nga on the floor and bathroom, just cement. Our driver will retain their house pa rin (told him to have it rented for extra income but he said baka hindi ingatan ng renter so his other kids can stay there if they want)

Bare building will cost about 20T-25T per sqm these days ... 300T sounds about right ... it's the roof that is making it cost more ... don't go for cheap builders ... they could cause more problems in the long run ...

I agree, based on my experience
