House Construction

[travajante]

If you get an interior designer to do all the vanity, cabinets, kitchens, lightings and others aesthetics of the house . . It will add up to additional 25% ++ of your cost per sqm.

Design professionals won't tell you nor admit this...the fitout sector has long been relieving them a lot of their creative & presentational chores. Most would even be more technically knowledgeble. Cabinet design is generally a built-in service as they'd have to do detailed shop drawings prior to execution anyway.
To skirt added design costs, determine your wants/needs & explore pro fitout/cabinet providers. Check & compare their quality, service, reviews & affordability. Loop your architect in to make sure all his design aspects & language are all tied in.

Agree that they wont tell you the cost, its only when you go thru with them that you will see all this cost. Good to see very detailed drawings from your concept, translate to 3D view, and actual site measurements (at least a few times to confirm based on owners concept).


Choices of materials adds to the cost. But sometimes its a wants and needs.

But all those major areas of the haus like kitchen (a good place to entertain too), bathroom fixtures and cabinets in the dining area, worth to get a professional or a good contractor.

About to finish and its on some final detailed works [emoji4]

Which is more expensive, glass partition or concrete? How much per square meter / foot is glass compared to insulated concrete wall / AAC blocks?

Cost will always be relative to specific types/brands of partitions.
Look into 3D panels such as EVG. Lighter, stronger, easier to install w/ way better insulation. You'll never wish for blocks ever again.
In choosing glass frame options, skip the common local generic extrusions the skip the rails w/ poor moisture & sound seals.
From 1st hand experience, if budget affords, Ķömmerling & Deceuninck sections have long been tested & trusted. The former has very good presence & support. Oz standard sections are pretty good, too.

EVG 3D panels are same as SRC? ... What about AAC blocks? ...

I prefer 3D panels over lightweight aerated blocks where both are applicable.

better heat insulation yung SRC panel, right?

btw i'm going to build a small parking shed. what can you say about onduline roofing? no need to use foam/foil insulation like you would on a metal roof, right? it's just gonna be for the car and i just don't wanna feel the heat while working on the car

[dr. d]

... a corrugated roof with no kisame.
make it a double, with a few inches breathing space between the two layers, for heat insulation.
and if the outer layer leaks, the lower layer may be able to compensate.
very little maintenance needed.

Ok ba onduline sa typhoons? Pwede tapakan in case need maintenance?

Imo you dont need insulation for a parking shed if its open on 2 or more sides anyway. If you want insulation on your long span roofing, Metalink and Puyat has variants with a 25-200mm foam insulation built in

Mainit pa din ang radiated heat from the roof kahit open all sides, unless sobra taas ng roof.

Do you know of a contractor who do fire sprinkler heads relocation/adjustment? let say from pendent to upright.

that's my open shed, summer of 2022. i'll be installing double-foil insulation on that shed. tama si boybi, it's radiation, kaya meron foil layers. same reason why thermos bottles are mirrored inside, to reflect back the radiation

pwede yan. i think it needs to use more fasteners than metal roof though. just use 4x4 traction boards to spread the load if you wanna send someone up there to step on the onduline








speaking of summer. i just tested Campbridge CeramiCoat paint. it's just 5c cooler than ordinary white paint. that's not significant

Baka dumulas yung traction board sa roof.

Hello! Can you recommend where to get solid wood planks and doors? For doors, ung may nag ooffer ng kamagong and narra besides the usual mahogany and tanguile.

Look into imported species like beech & oak should you plan lighter natural shades. Walnut for darker ones. These might end up costing you less than illegally sourced local exotic timber. Just dunno where to point you up the capital.

Good Narra is very hard to find now. What is readily available now warps and tends to have imperfections. The best Narra could be found from reusing old Narra from demolished houses since these are done warping and are usually wider. If you have time, you can buy new Narra and let it warp for some time until the moisture content drops. If you have time and a lot of money, you can call house demolition companies and ask if they have been recently able to extract good Narra, this needs a good contractor to finish and install.

You can get Burmese Teak as an alternative. I cant recommend a supplier for either because these tend to be.......

Wow, whats the color of the roof? White or darker colors make a significant difference
