Just curious lang mga sirs. Meron bang philippine website na makakapag canvass ka ng mga construction material prices like cement, steels bars, hallow blocks etc... Inabot ako ng E Vat kaya medyo kailangan mag canvass ng mura murang materials. Thanks

[OTEP]

Wala ata eh. Usually the cheapest places have no websites. hehehe.

For convenience's sake, kumukuha na lang kami sa Wilcon lalo na yung mga pang-finishing.

[Belisarius]

You dont have to look further there is a Phil Construction exhibit starting Nov. 10 to 13 at the World Trade Center, you can look at your heart's content on all the latest in const. materials. If you are looking for cheap steel bars - go to ChiChay Hardware at Oroqueta cor. Batangas st., for wood go to Timberex at Congressional ave. near the corner of Mindanao ave beside the town and country subdiv. entrance. For finishing materials go to any MC depot or the new Ortigas Home depot at Julia Vargas near cor. Meralco ave.

[OTEP]

Ortigas Home depot kumukuha din ako diyan. Pero Wilcon ang pinakamalapit samin. hehehe. Hindi pa umiinit makina, andun na ko.

Nice picture otep! Thanks

Hi Belisarius! Cement, steel and hallow blocks ang biggest concern ko at the present time eh. Thanks

[Belisarius]

For cement you should order by the truckload, at least 600 bags to get the factory price, because dealers dont have to unload and load again, they can just get it from the factory and deliver straight to you. Six hundred bags is the load per 10 wheeler truck, and 1,000 bags is the load per trailer truck, so take your pick. For hollow blocks, you must choose whether you need load bearing at 700psi rating or non load bearing ordinary 300 psi rating, you can have them tested if they can meet the standard. Try calling Capitol steel for steel bars, have them quote, also get quote from Pag-asa Steel, Steel Asia, etc. for comparison.

inVitro, try mo mag canvass (big construction supplies) malapit sa inyo atleast kung ano man problem...malapit lang sa inyo.
and buy by the bulk, pa estimate mo kung ilan materiales na gagamitin.
also yung rough finish madali lang at mura lang yan usually finishing ang mahal...

eto buti natapos ko ang bahay ko bago mag e-vat.
to give an idea dito sa province 10,000 per sq meter ang gastusin. (before evat)
sa metro siguro nasa 14K na.

[InVitro25]

Thanks guys. Talked to a friend and he suggested na gumamit na lang ako ng pre mixed cement. Nag canvass ako and the price is about P2,775 per cubic meter with 28 days curing at 3000 psi. Sabi sa akin makaka save daw ako dahil di na ako bibili ng materials and tipid sa labor. Anybody me experience sa pre mixed cement? Me advantage ba talaga?

[kimpOy]

pre mixed ginagamit yan kapag nagbubuhos ka na for flooring...

pero sa computation ko (with my architect mas mura pa rin yung mano mano kahit isama mo ang lunch ng mga labor (sa buhosan for flooring ah)

[BlueBimmer]

cement and steel prices fluctuate frequently, swerte rin kung makatiming ka ng mas baba

dito ko ipost about sa formaldehyde.


Una ko naramdaman yan formaldehyde around year2010 -2012. Sa free seatcover ng civic fd and yung mga nabibili wooden aparador na kahit 3weeks na hindi para rin nawawala yung toxic fumes. Nagreklamo talaga ako at sinauli.

EQ thank you jan sa post mo dahil ngayon ko lang nalaman na meron na pala mabibili tester. Inform us kung effective.


Ito yung article ng bbc about yung nangyari sa china condominiums. Kung may kakaiba amoy sa unit nyo na mahapdi sa mata eh yan ang culprit.

Formaldehyde emerges as new risk in China's housing boom
By Kerry Allen BBC Monitoring
6 September 2018



The recent death of a flat-dweller in Beijing has flagged up concerns about formaldehyde, a carcinogenic substance widely used in construction.

The man, identified only as Mr Wang, died of leukaemia in July, three months after moving into a new apartment. His wife is suing the rental app that advertised the property, alleging that it made him ill.

Formaldehyde is used in some paints, varnishes and disinfectants. It is also found in manufactured wooden products like cabinets and laminate flooring.

A state-owned newspaper has said that, in the rush to keep up with demand for new housing, finished flats are being marketed before the formaldehyde has been given the appropriate time to disperse. Other newspapers say tenants are being asked to sign non-disclosure agreements to keep the apparent health risks under wraps.

Concerns about the safety of renovations in public and private buildings have spilled into the public arena, even leading to violent protests.

Hangzhou case



In July, Mr Wang was diagnosed with acute leukaemia after a short illness, and died two days later.

Doctors had told him that he was fit and healthy during a check-up in January, but his wife said his decline began after he moved to Hangzhou in April.

She had asked for a local agency to test the levels of formaldehyde in the Hangzhou apartment.

The test results showed that the levels in the apartment were 0.132 milligrams per cubic metre - while the national standard is 0.1.

Officials confirmed on 4 September that Ms Wang has filed a civil case against the Ziroom house rental app, and a hearing is set for late September.

Ziroom has said that that it is co-operating with the authorities in an ongoing investigation into safety allegations.

Kept quiet


Newspapers say that Mr Wang's case is not isolated, and that tenants across China have brought up concerns. They accuse Ziroom of aiming to keep this quiet by introducing non-disclosure agreements.

The Beijing News interviewed a man, Mr Li, who said that within two months of renting an apartment in Beijing, he experienced pain in the eyes and throat and his girlfriend developed a skin allergy. An agency inspection had determined that the level of formaldehyde in their house twice exceeded the national standard.

The paper said that he was taking Ziroom to court as his deposit would only be released if he signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Hongxing News reported about a similar case in the southwestern city of Chengdu. It said that a Mr Liao found that he was suffering from chest tightness in July after renting a flat advertised on Ziroom, and had developed a bad cough.

Mr Liao bought a formaldehyde testing kit on the internet and found that the presence of chemicals including formaldehyde were up to four times higher than the national standard. He contacted the property's owner, who again, asked him to sign a non-disclosure agreement.




Pear Video highlighted the case of Mr Qian in Beijing, who began suffering from acute pain in the nose and throat days after moving into a new apartment.

He contacted an agency and found that the levels of formaldehyde were twice those of normal levels.

He said that after he moved out, his symptoms cleared up, but he was surprised to see that the apartment was not only put back on the market, but at a higher price.


Formaldehyde: a useful but hazardous chemical

Small amounts of formaldehyde are present in most homes. They are often higher in smokers' homes (tobacco smoke contains formaldehyde) and new homes, where better insulation restricts the air flow.
The substance is potentially carcinogenic and can cause breathing problems, or ear, nose and throat irritation.
In extreme cases, it has been linked to leukaemia, as well as nose and throat cancers.
Formaldehyde levels can be reduced by ensuring that newly-built fittings are washed or aired.
Professional tests can determine whether unusually high levels are present, but it is widely advised that newly-renovated buildings are sufficiently aired before tenants move in.

Wider fears

Global Times, a state-run outlet, said that Ziroom had become a "rising star" app for tenants.

But it said that the company has come under fire for "not allowing sufficient time for formaldehyde to disperse after renovation, in order to seek fast returns".

Ziroom released a statement in late August, saying: "We will take this investigation [by the authorities] as an opportunity to both deeply reflect and implement effective measures... we will make timely announcements to the regulatory authorities, tenants and wider society on our progress in line with the regulator's requirements, and announce phased corrective measures and results."

On 1 September, it announced that it was implementing a number of new safety measures. It said it was removing from listings apartments in some of the more developed cities that have attracted complaints, and that future property listings would display test results for the substance.

Ziroom added that it would grant free air quality tests to concerned tenants who had secured housing through the app after 1 June, and would allow tenants to cancel their leases unconditionally or move to a new apartment without charge. Alternatively, it said that it would provide new tenants with free air purifiers for 90 days.

But the health cases have sparked wider concerns about safety precautions not being followed in China's rapid development efforts.

On 1 September, thousands of parents in Leiyang, a city in Hunan province, were told that their children could not go to local schools because of high levels of formaldehyde in buildings and dormitories.

They were told that they had no choice but to send their children to fee-paying schools.

Non-state media reported that hundreds of disgruntled parents staged protests outside the schools, some of which became violent. The parents demanded to know why the schools had not investigated the problem sooner.

Social media users on the popular Sina Weibo microblog voiced fears that China's rapid urban development meant that other building projects with dubious safety standards had not been investigated.

damn 3 months leukemia symtpoms.

[kagalingan]

to travahans or any engineer, architects, foreman or basta may alam.

Sa news puro landslide nangyari because itong bagyon usman. Bakit sa antipolo may nakikita ako village yung mga bahay sa gilid mismo ng bundok pero wala naman landslide. Favorite ko yun pag nagdadaanan ko ganda tingnan.

So ano ginawa para hindi gumalaw yung cliff house??

Hi sir Erickson Salanguit. Good day to you. Our aim and objective is for engineering to be accessible to all, especially the poor (70-80%), and not just the upper 20% or rich and upper middle class. Last year, an architect who graduated from a state university asked us if we were willing to partner with him to make architecture and engineering accessible to those living in the informal settlement area. Our first project together was a 2 storey project on a 25 square meter lot in Taguig. He told us that his clients did not want professional services at first because of the cost and because those around the lot did not secure a building permit in the first place and most of the residences only needed a foreman to build. Nevertheless, our partner was able to convince him of the importance of architecture and engineering in society, and with our partnership, we were able to produce an economical plan that was within the building and engineering codes. The state university sponsored our education, and we hope that in giving back to society and making architecture and engineering accessible to all, we are giving pride and honor to the architecture and engineering professions. Thank you.

i do not see anything wrong with this, in fact i find it very helpful and informative

because it is economical and accessible to all, there’s no pride on such act?

I will NOT support firms like that. Mga ugaling liberals at woke.

Why would they engineer and architect those living in INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS? Hindi ba squatter's area yan, so they are legitimizing squatting pa. Squatter na bato bahay at may engineer at architect tapos when the land owner needs the land sila pa magbabayad sa squatter? I hate those with a passion
