^hmmm sis mahal ang 600/day na rate for helper, rate na yan ng skilled.
3 years ago ang pasahod namin sa skilled workers is P500 and P350 naman for helper.
Ngayon reasonable ang 600 for skilled and 400 for helper.

Hello mga sis! Matanong ko lang sana kung may difference ba sa cost ang one-story house with 180sqm total floor area sa two-story house with 180sqm din na total floor area.

Please help.

Initially, we want sana two-story house, total floor area mga 180sqm nga. kaso nung nagpaquote ako, 5M daw. Hindi pa naman ako nagpapaquote ng 180sqm na bungalow style. pero makakamura ba ako in case one story na lang? or parehas lang sya since parehas ang total flr area.

Sana may makasagot. :)

^yes sis, definitely mas mahal pag 2-storey house kasi yung structural pa lang doble gastos (poste, flooring, scaffolding, labor). Kung wala namang limitation sa lot area, I'd choose to build bungalow house with same floor area over 2-level house.

^yes sis, mahal talaga magpaconstruct ng bahay kaya malaki talaga matitipid pag hands-on sa pagbili ng materyales. Pero ang maganda ngayon, napakarami ng bagong materyales na cost-effective with aesthetic value :)

Hello! Need help po. Meron po akong home loan sa BDO at balak ko sana magparenovate ng bahay. I'm torn between financing it ourselves little by little or kukuha ng home improvement loan sa Pag ibig.

No idea at all. Gusto sana namen, kahit basic lang muna tapos improve na lang pakonti konti. Kahit yung structure lang muna sana i don't know if it's what you call "shell" haha (50sqm lot. 2 floors with a small garage). Kahit nga semento lang muna ok na basta me bintana at hindi papasukin at matutuluyan naman ng maayos. Ang tanong, papayag kaya yung Pag ibig ng ganun or may architect ba na gumagawa ng ganun or kelangan ba ng arhitect lol. Or wala talagang choice kundi kame na lang magpagawa pa konti konti?  And if so, magkano kaya ang startup capital kung kami lang?

Thanks a lot!

Patulong po.  Halimbawa natapos na ang plano pero di nasagot ang gusto ko na materyales, pwede pa ba mabago. Like yung sa windows, nakalagay sa plano ay pvc pero iminention ko before ay analoc ang gusto ko, pwede ko pa ipabago yun? Bale mid level design ang usapan namin para sa ipapagawa ko na single storey with mezzanine.

Ask ko rin kung okay ba yung pateco panel door sa main door? wala kasi kong alam masyado sa door. Mas okay ba sya sa mahogany?

Salamat.

Hi Girls,
Base on my experience, 42SQM cost me 60k for the carpenters fee alone. pakyaw ang ginawa nila. Wall partitions, kisame, tiles, painting, cabinet, wiring and window Type AC  installation. Inabot ako ng 6 months sa canvassing ng materials. Pag nasa area ako, nag tatanung ako sa mga hardware store including popular or mainstream hardware store like Ace Hardware, wilcon etc  how prices ng materials nila then take note of it. Mas cheaper if you get sa hardware store near your house since pwede ka tumawad. Some of them charge a delivery fee, some minimum amount of purchase lang and some free delivery. My stores give free items if you reach a certain amount.
For lights, bathroom fixtures and kitchen sink, I highly suggest going to Soler in Manila. You can get a toilet sink as low as 800, drop lights as low as 800, Pin lights around 40, kitchen sink 900, Circular light 300, Chandelier 3000. Tyagain nyo lang mag lakad madaming choices and super cheap. Just go early on a weekday to avoid traffic. Some stores open as early as 8:30.

I agree with ninabhel, Soler in Manila is th constructions heaven but you will need a little knowledge of the items you need to purchase. Some 'tinderas' have no knowledge at all. These shops rarely give no warranties and no return & no exchange policies.

9 years ago nung nabili namin itong house, ipinarenovate namin. now, we are renovating again. ang advice ko lang...

if you are buying a house, kung maiiwasan and you have a choice think twice sa pagbili ng townhouse-like setup, yung dikit yung walls sa kabilang bahay. ang hirap kasi lalu na kapag nagpaparenovate rin yung neighbor namin, used for business kasi. ang hirap rin kapag may leak.

maganda talaga mga single detached homes, kung all 4 sides may windows, laging maaliwalas and well ventilated. pero kung katulad sa amin na maiksi lang ang lot, as long as may windows sa front&back (both 1st and 2nd floors) mahangin pa rin and maliwanag kahit walang window sa sides.

kapag pumili ka materials/design para sa bahay mo, isipin mo muna kung paano wear&tear nito at kung paano i-maintain, advatage/disadvantage, paano palitan, at linisin (sa hirap ba naman humanap ng mapagkakatiwalaang helpers ngayon).

i am so annoyed sa mga cracks sa ceiling, so kung katulad ninyo ako, maybe try PVC ceilings. mukhang wala ito sa to-renovate list namin, so maybe next time. :)

tiles. sa website ng wilcon they have tile-cutting services (depende sa kind ng tiles at sa gloss),
i believe balintawak branch. para mas clean ang putol, malamang power tools ang gamit nila dito. baka mas ok yan kesa gagamit ng grinder ang workers.

edit: if possible, mag-uwi kayo ng sample tiles ng mga napili ninyo. huwag muna bumili kagad. check ninyo kung bagay sa lighting sa bahay. use the swatch rin pang double check kung tama ba yung tiles na dumating vs. in-order ninyo.

Gusto din sana namin ni hubby na kahit paano eh kami ang mag-ayos ng mga kayang ayusin sa bahay katulad ng pag-fill ng mga spaces sa wood floors, magpintura ng dingding, cabinet, etc.  Hindi lang tipid kundi mas pulido at masinsin ang pagkakagawa.

Balak ko na rin sanang pinturahan yung wood floors namin at nakakaengganyo kasi ang white floors  -- ang sosyal at ang linis tignan -- kaso parang hindi pwede sa atin dahil maalikabok at hindi naman kami pala-aircon sa bahay.  Sabi naman eh pwede namang varnish na lang muna at sayang ang sahig.
