House Constuction [Merged]

[dr. d]

There is a structure already but the roof has to changed and the bathroom completely changed. Walls have to be painted and install flooring na rin and new windows

get an estimate from someone who knows. get two estimates.
be very descriptive, such that estimator has a clear idea of what you want. indicate clearly type of material you prefer.
remember that today's prices of building materials may not be the same prices next year.

travs,
isn't this your cup of tea?

errr...
ilang metro cuadrado ba?

You can do it for 10T per square meter ... but you're going to end up wishing you spent a little bit more ...

30k per square meter kung magpapatayo bahay.

Kung renovation lang hindi ka aabot ng ganyan.

Bodega namin yun and I'm thinking of converting it into a livable space. Sayang kasi it's just empty, but I don't wanna spend more than 100k on it Sa YouTube kasi daming mga room makeover and it's amazing what fresh paint and new flooring can do. Most of my budget will go to the bathroom talaga.

Sometimes same lang renovation and new construction. May demolition cost pa kasi.

Pero if walang baguhin sa structural, mas mura renovation.

Yeah depende sa extent ng renovation. Planning also to have some renovation for my condo to make the walls more lively. Parang di naman aabot sa 30k/sqm.

Cost will vary wildly depending on the materials used. Mas maganda, mas mahal. Wilcon has a lot of options for finishing materials.

We have told our contractor that we will be choosing the items for finishing.

Exciting times. Last project I did was the office. Picking out the tiles, fixtures and furniture almost made up for the pain of paying for them. 🙂

We already have an idea on the tiles to use. The living room and dining areas will use mostly tiles but we are planning to use wood planks for the bedrooms.

COVID derailed the construction schedule as we should have been halfway thru but nobody wanted COVID to happen.

the problem kasi sa mga current architect and interior designer dito pinas eh masyado nakafocus sa "eye candy"

Hindi ina-actual sa movement ng body, kulang sa functionality, walang kapurpose-purpose yung design.

alam nyo ba ilan nabagok ang ulo dahil nadulas sa tiles. Imagine ang pwede mo ikamatay dahil sa maling pagpili ng sahig!!!

Ano ba purpose sa comfort room na gusto sobrang kinis. Bakit ipagyaybang ba kung saan tumataeh?

Sa kitchen din hinid maganda makinis tiles. Kung saan lagi pwede tumapon tubig doon dapat magaspang and yung madali matuyo na tiles.

At ilan beses ko sinasabi kung gusto mo mag-alaga ng germs eh maglagay kayo carpet sa loob ng bahay. Yan ang number 1 recipe sa allergies.

Tingnan nyo mga condominium yung comfort room na halos sa pader dnikit ang hirap bumukaka kaya nakakangalay not natural position.

and yung mga overprice na modern kuno townhouse sa new manila yung style na harapan na magkasalubong. Nakowh!!!! Pag umaga pag sabay-sabay start ng desel engine nila ang bantot sakit sa ulo!!!! Wa flow kulob design townhouse muhang tunnel. Tapos presyuhan ka ng 50million ngayon baleh nabili dati 25m 10years ago. (and lower pa pre-ondoy.)

Look at me tsikoteer ngayon pandemic eh napaganda pa sa akin waley gaano traffic, imagine umabot ako monumento caloocan kaninang hapon. Eh pre-covid usually 8pm na ako lumalabas.

NAgpapasalamat pala ako sa mga old old old school engineer architect interior designer na matataas ang pride at quality gumawa. (yes dapat tatlo beses ulitin yung old)

kags my man!
have you found a place where to put your washing machine yet?

[_Cathy_]

It makes me wonder ilang sq m ang lot area ng bahay ni kags. Nasa 1k kaya? He speaks as if he has so much space.

What I like about modern houses now, they can do so much with the lot, yung 400 sq m ang laki na pag sa modern house, compare it with a house built in the 60s

he did mention, some time back,
that his occupation involves warehouses...

my personal rule for myself, should i ever have a house constructed.
"do not have a firewall." avoid it if you can.
they make for effective heat radiators, they are a headache of water leaks, and they do not present a good-neighbor face to our... neighbors...
unless our neighbor is a diehard tennis or pelota fan. heh heh.

so he lives and works in the same place? 1 hectare ang house niya? Sa bagay yung bahay nila Mikael Daez nasa 1/3 hectare na in QC

I wonder if that is a Chinese thing? Sa company where my Dad worked a number of them have assigned houses behind the factory. Behind the extremely tall gate and wall at the back of the factory/compound parang may mini suburb of a a few houses (less than 10). It makes me wonder if companies still gave perks like that. BTW, I took my course because I wanted to be officemates with my Dad pero ayaw niya LOL
