Materials for Construction...

**earthlyken** · July 6th, 2012 01:49 AM

Hello guys,

I would like to get your inputs if i have miss something, we are planning to build a house (83sqm lot 8x10), were planning to have a 3 floors (no roof - open lang siya) on the left part and 2 floors on the right part of the house.

i did make some inquiries and able to get these information of materials to use and their quantity, am not sure if i did miss something, hope you guys with construction knowledge or not help us out, if we miss something, semi furnish 1st and 2nd floor, yung 3rd floor ay kahit bare lang muna..kasi gagawin sampayan lang naman eh..kasi we are maximizing the lot area since hinde naman siya ganun kalaki.

We were able to get a Construction foreman na payag na labor sa kanila and lahat ng materiales samin.

Am not sure kung over acting yung quantity and price ko, pero mas maganda na siguru yung sobra kesa kulang..

Any inputs would be VERY greatly appreciated..

250pcs 12mm x 6m = 200/pc = P50,000
150pcs 16mm x 6m = 350/pc = P52,500

your architect who made the plans should be able to give you an accurate count of what materials you will need. for example he should be able to give you the number of 16mm rebar that will be used so you do not need to purchase excess rebar.

o baka walang plans?

magkano na total nyan? may mga contractor naman na can meet your budget.. mas madali pag ganon.. less headache for you.. tsaka ingat sa walang bubong.. kailangan maganda water proofing nyan.. pag hindi.. malaking problema yan.. hahanap at hahanap nang gagapangan yung tubig..

A good architect can give you a very good estimate. If you have pelenty of time in your hand, canvass for cheap prices and buy from different sources. If gahol sa time, pakyawan system will do but make sure you make sure insructions on quality of important materials are clear. Renovations are costlier than building a new one. SO make sure they get it right the first time.

I suggest you don't use coco-lumber and instead rent metal scaffoldings. I just finished adding 2 floors to my house (GASTOS!) and I regretted on buying coco-lumber instead of renting scaffolds. Good thing a neighbor was about to embark on a similar project ang bought all my used coco-lumber at a much lower price. At least I got a portion of my money back.

And I think there's a discrepancy on the prices of your marine plywood. I can recall how much exactly, but from what I know, the thicker it gets, the more expensive it becomes.

You should mix "Sahara" on the concrete slabs per floor and on the concrete beams and posts. This powdered chemical ensures that there will be no cracks in the concrete. On the rooftop, seal the cement slab with Morta-Seal, this will further ensure that no water will seep into your walls and floor. The concrete slab on top should be graded, that way rainwater will be channeled to one side and drained thru a downspout.

Syempre .. before pouring of concrete on the house posts, put in coins and say a prayer for good luck!

This is advisable only to wooden houses with concrete pedestals. Since this is a three-storey structure, we don't want any unwanted material in the main structural members that might compromise the integrity of the structure. But you could still place them on the landings of the stairs or the front porch entrance if you like :-)

San ka nag-base ng computation? tama yung comments nila, dapat may house plan kasi dun babase ang estimator, and your architect / quantity surveyor can provide you with the details on the volume and specs of the materials you'll need. Are you buying / renting the concrete mixer? if so, try to rent na rin yung rebar cutter para sa paggawa ng stirrups (anilyo), that way mas mabilis magtrabaho ang steelman, kesa mano mano ang pag-cut. pero pakyawan yata labor mo, so i guess they have it covered na.

Set aside additional funds for finishing materials, dito karaniwan lumalaki ang costs kasi minsan (or madalas) nagbabago isip ng owner on what finishing they want on their house.

Lastly, post mo date and location para sa house blessing, para makapunta naman mga tsikoteers hehehe. good luck!

pahabol: if your placing an order for G-1 or 3/4 sized gravel, orderin mo yung "crushed" gravel. these are stronger and well suited for mid to hi-rise construction since they came from solid rock. wag yung ordinary pebble-type na galing sa river bank quarry.

eto problema ko, may alkitran na may water proofing pa... pero meron pa din...delikado pa nito sa linya nang flexi hose nang electrical gumagapang.

BTT:

Pag may plano na yung bahay mo pa estimate mo sa tamang tao. yung mga price ba galing din kay foreman?mas maganda ikaw na mag canvass. hingi ka lang sa kanya nang mga kailangan bilhin pero ikaw ang bibili. matuto rin tumawad
