    Congrats on your new house! I can relate with you the hassle of building a new home during this pandemic.

    Sourcing the building materials (tiles, bathroom materials, door knob, cabinets handles, lights housing indoor/outdoor, etc) is a challenged due to supply. Some would not have enough inventory and you have to go thru a different supplier. We custom made all the doors and roofings, it requires longer leadtime due to restriction on their worker.

    Its an experience but well worth it.

    Yes. Building a home for your family to live in is a super exciting, stressful, expensive and fulfilling experience at the same time.

    Me and my wife are arguing about space planning for example. I like future proofing but she likes downsizing. Have to meet halfway.

    And all the instagram and pinterest pictures and youtube videos just cloud your head with ideas. Hehe. Gotta learn to let the architect do his/her thing. Gotta let go of some snazzy ideas that we saw and let the realities of lot sizes, shape, elevation, slope, technology, construction materiald and methods, and budget take over.

    How do we depreciate a house pala? According to google, in the US, it's 3.6% per annum or fully depreciated in 27.5 years. It just crossed my mind earlier because I wondered if I depreciated today's cost to build a modest 2 storey house of 25k/sqm, how my selling price compared. Actually, I priced my house at lot x zonal value + floor area x 10k/sqm. The house was 19 years old.

    Can anyone tell me what's the flooring they used for the kitchen, dining and bedroom Why why why! The master T/B is fugly with those tiles, even the design is so weird I am also puzzled why they have to build on different levels, ang awkward tuloy ng stairs. I am wondering if an architect really designed this?

    Also, why do they allow this, yung nakasagad yung structure ng bahay sa lot? There should be space all around the structure

    is the floor wood parquet?
    can't say, as there does not seem to be any interest in showing it off.
    but i agree. it does not strike me as a good choice design. i would have chosen a plain solid color design.

    different level floor. not adult- or child- or PWD-friendly. i would have liked one level only.

    i like the stairs. hindi mataas ang step height. easier to traverse.

    sagad-ing the house to the lot. probably to maximize the real estate. consult building code first, however.

    The house looks like a renovated old house which is why the layout is awkward. There are plenty of remnants of the original house such as the kitchen and doors.

    Some villages allow firewalls without side setbacks.

    The entire house looks like a collection of tiles from a clearance sale.

    The main door being “tumbok” with the powder room door is a massive turn off.

    I like wood parquet, it looks like tiles, ugly at that

    The different levels on one floor is so weird talaga

    viper888! oh kaya pala! I found it weird when Julia said the kitchen was like something you would see at AD, maybe AD 1980 edition, it looked inconsistent with the design of the house

    Why is the tumbok sa powder room a turn off? Feng Shui? Though pangit nga talaga, like in our home we don't close the bathroom doors when not used so not a good view to see haha

    With lot sizes getting smaller, building upto tge perimeter will become the norm na.

    Look at Mckinley Hill Village, the ground level dikit dikit na, only the upper level lang ang may setback sa side. And its just about 2m lang, so malapit pa rin sa neighbor mo.

    sorry baka medyo dumb question. wala ako idea sa house construction. i understand the idea of a prep and show kitchen pero if circumstances present itself, usually ang show kitchen ba should be a fully functioning kitchen all on its own din?
