House Constuction [Merged]

**slapz** · May 20th, 2013 08:42 PM

I am currently having our house built. Per Day ang Labor. I buy the materials. 2-Storey House, ~170 SQM total floor area. More than a year ago, pinastart ko yung 1st floor, it costs me around 450K, slab na yun sa taas. then tinirhan naman for more than a year. Now, pinapagawa ko na ung second floor, 320K na nagagastos ko, malamang aabot ng 500K, for the tiles and other finishings. So, parang Php1M lang magagastos ko all in all, That's roughly Php6,000 per SQM..

from your computation parang iba per square and profit

How does this go... do you compute per square + 12% profit? or per square cost already includes profit? i appreciate the help

normally, inclusive na ung labor, overhead charges or profit sa computation per square. mataas din kaya ang percentage nila sa labor and overhead charges absed on the total materials costing.

slapz, balak ko rin magpatayo ng house next year after ko mabayaran lote. What you are able to accomplish is really amazing. I would like to get tips from you pano mo nagawa yan. Nagpa-design ka ba sa architect tapos foreman na lang kinuha mo instead of contractor?

I would like to get advice from sir VW sana pero mukhang big time na sya if I'm not mistaken to have time for small house project.

Complicated ba magpa-cement and tile ng lupa?

I need to have a portion of our perimeter tiled and gated. Our contractor family friend estimated 10 to 15 days. I was surprised because the area is so small

I am not sure if it is cheaper for me to just tile the whole area. We have bamboo on our perimeter and I don't want it cut. Maybe that complicates the tiling and drainage? Also, how much is the going rate of a contractor now? x percent of materials and labor diba? Ayaw kasi niya magpabayad so the last time he did repairs for us, my Mom just gave 10% ata of labor+materials.

Depends sa sqmtrs.

Madali lang cement, mahirap tile. Dapat magaling mason para hindi ukauka.

75sqmtr around 15k to 20k labor.

Edit: and yes matagal gawaan ng ganyan. Tama estimate na 10 to 15 days. Kailangan kasi patuyuin ng husto

bakit tile? bibiyak un sa init ng araw tapos baka madulas pa kayo pag umuulan.

WTF?!? 20k on labor pa lang. I was estimating nga 1k per day on labor

Hindi kasi pantay yung soil sa perimeter namin. Naka slope, weird pa kasi mangyayari, grass, tile, grass. I only plan to tile about 1 car length and width. Akala ko 3 days lang and around 20k lang magastos ko materials and labor

It's for my fat lab. There's a roof naman. She needs to stay in area that has no soil and no object she can chew or lick. Mangyayari part ng perimeter naman itile then grills para she has space to move around. Tile kasi madali linisin in case she accidentally makes weewee or poopy

What size of tiles and how many?

Kung one car lang, that's about 6 to 8 sqmtrs only.

Mahirap kasi kung lupa pa lang. Kailangan siksikin yung lupa, lay the cement with rebar.

Sa tile naman Kailangan maganda pagkalatag, walang hangin in between and lapat lahat.

At least 2 inch thick cement but I'll recommend 3 to 4 inch.

Cost, Tama estimate 20k all in. Depends lang sa tile size and price.
