We've long used the proven 3D panel system where applicable. They're durable. Fast & precise. Flexible w/ various design applications, too. Low on labor/overall cost & weight. High on thermal, humidity & sound insulation. Lighter but stronger than the common hollow blocks. Imagine the structural cost savings. There are a few brands out there. Look for fire rated, high density polystyrene core w/ the thicker gauged metal mat combo. Here is an overview of the 3D panel system...

Ito pa mga kapalpakan nagpapagawa bahay ngayon = comfort room.

Why gagamit ng super kinis super shiny na tiles / flooring. Eh yan reason bakit madami senior natigok dahil nadulas bagok ulo. Ok it is cool to look at kasi makinis at madali linisin. Pero its not functional.

Dapat ang flooring c.r. eh may gaspang. Na pwede mo irub foot mo pag madumi parang foot scrub na dating. Hindi ka na nadulas madali pa ikuskus paa.

and dapat malaki window at nakapwesto sa direct sunlight para libre na disinfect ng araw.

Hindi pwede puro aesthetic nakafocus.

Sa pag-gawa ng bahay eh functionality is the name of the game. Ano ba purpose ng pinagkakabit.

So many factors dictate cost. Terrain, architectural & structural design, material type & the abstracts....the builder's approach & experience. Search for a team who can build like it were their own. Trust is priceless.
Comb thru the details to consider cost of upkeep. A good design should be low in maintenance. It'll stay new longer, too.
Just my 2cents. Happy building, sir!

Now I have a couple of quotations from different contractors and most require 30% downpayment to as high as 50%. Reason being they need to buy the materials to protect from price increase. For a 4M project, that is 1.2M to 2M outright payment. What kind of guarantee/documents would you ask them to ensure that they will not disappear with the money.

Are there insurance products to cover from such losses? Is having a PCAB license a guarantee of?
