Some home builders in the Philippines will do anything to get your project like giving a big discount and certainly bid lower than the price offered by their competitor. And every week we see the emails of those whining ignorant home owners who fell in the trap with open eyes...
Note that in many cases it is actually the home owners themselves who create problems by thinking that the Philippines is 'a country of bargaining' and subsequently squeeze the contract-price up to the last Peso. Home Builders in the Philippines
You have to understand that every time you ask for a discount to your home-builder, you limit his freedom to serve you better... which is NOT in your advantage nor in his advantage.
If construction builders give you discount Home Builders in the Philippines do not expect that it means that they just lower their own profit; it means that they will 'cut corners' like using less cement in building your house or use smaller diameter reinforcement steel bars or thinner steel roof. Who's laughing?
Worse case scenario is when the construction company suddenly notice (when your home is half finished) that they can not make a profit anymore; they estimated the cost to build your house too low. And gone they are; 'fly by night' contractors. Who's crying?
How to select a Philippine house builder Home Builders in the Philippines?
- Check the builders directory and go to the office of your builder to ask neighbors how long did they occupy that same office.
- Let the contractor show you his permits and ask to show a sample-contract.
- Let your contractor show you an ongoing project; let him show you how they work.
- Ask your home builder some questions about legal matters; can he answer them?
- Visit another contractor for a 'second opinion'.
- Can your home builder communicate by E-mail? Can he start the design process while you are abroad and does he send you pictures weekly of the progress while building your home?
- Does your construction company build with hollow blocks Home Builders in the Philippines or can they use the 'Latest Technologies to Build a House or Commercial Building in the Philippines'? Like;
1. Improved Quality Hollow Blocks (NOT the 'backyard hollow blocks')
2. No Hollow Blocks but Solid Poured Concrete Walls
3. Insulated Blocks (AAC)
4. Other Construction Methods
TIP: In most cases you might have a relative 'who also build homes'; and because family-ties are strong in the Philippines you will feel the pressure to hire him.
If you do not feel comfortable with the fact that this 'contractor' (who is just a 'foreman' and has no office nor a contract) might never be able to comply with the Philippines Construction Law (a 15 year accountability on structural mistakes like big cracks in your wall) then the only way to avoid problems is to let us at least build better walls with Solid Concrete instead of hollow blocks; your local contractor can do the finishing like tiles, paint etc. Home Builders in the Philippines
