House Building Philippines

The first step in house building Philippines construction is the 'planning stage'; architects have the knowledge, skills and experience to design your house. They shape your ideas into a plan and translate them to drawings (blue prints) that will be used by the builders for construction and they are also needed to get a building permit.

Some clients do not want to spend much money for the design thinking that they will just "fix" everything during construction if they want to change anything; this is a costly mistake.
Remember that during the planning stage it is easy to change something on paper while later during construction you might have to demolish part of the building.

Building a house is a professional undertaking. Your house have to be there for generations to come.

You worked hard for funds which are now ready for investment. Do not waste it on imperfect designs which means revisions, house building Philippines renovations, addition, etc. Why not do it right the first time?

In general you pay only about 2% of the contract price to the architect for his preliminary studies; a visit to the lot and making the schematics (floorplan and elevation sketch). Included in the designers-team there is mostly an electrical professional, a sanitary engineer (designs the plumbing and drainage systems), an interior designer, a landscape architect, a structural engineer, a geotechnical engineer and other professionals. They have the knowledge, skills and experience to design your house.

Changes and/or revisions are common during the design stage of the house. There is NO additional cost for this since this is part of what you are paying for in design development. It’s all about communication and collaboration.

However, changes during actual house building Philippines construction shall be charged accordingly. This is because costings are based on the agreed plan and any change does impact the original costs, obviously.

Let me start with a rough plan.

The design you send us is about 300 sq mt and about Php 22,000 per sq mt so expect about Php 6.6M
It's a matter of selecting a smaller design and not too luxuourous.

Lets say you want Php 4M for the house complete; you receive the keys.
Then the floor area can be about 220 sq mt
Then you still have a nice design and enough space like house #2 at

Included are for example; doors, windows, roof-system, paint, kitchen, bathroom, plans, professional fees, permits, structural work, architectural works, plumbing and sanitary works, electrical works, tapping of utilities (except deposits to utility companies like power, internet and water), taxes, supervision, tools and equipment.
Not included are for example; appliances (air con units, refrigerator), furniture, lighting- and plumbing fixtures (chandeliers, bath tub), landscaping, fence, pool outside. We can include them for an additional amount.

My fiance and I are getting married in June and would like to relocate sometime in the months following. We have looked all over the world, and the Philippines seem to have the best property and house building Philippines building costs. We saw your advertisement and wanted to know more about what you build, if you do custom homes, and an estimate on different types and options, just to have an idea if it is feasible.
