how much did you spend on house construction? (Thread 2)

[swit_squiggle]

My home loan was booked friday. I was expecting to receive additional 35K minus the processing fee and other charges for the partial construction of the 30%. most of the proceeds kasi sa lot napunta.  naku!! 15K lang natanggap ko. Though may na alot na kaming money for the partial construction. magkakasya kaya ang 200k for the accomplishment of the 30% ng house?

it's a two story house around 160 sq. m. 90 ang baba at 60 naman ang taas, may open ceiling kasi.

Anybody who knows kung ano ang required structure for the 30% sa BDO? I requested the document pero ang ibinigay sa akin is hindi ko maintindihan. for the 30% may nakalagay na ceiling, doors, roofing. parang buong bahay na yung gusto nilang makita for the next releasing of the loan a.

Sissies any idea?

[portishead]

Sis, my home construction loan is from a different bank. As to the 30% completion requirement, for a 100sqm floor area, when we had it inspected, may walls, beams and main partitions na both the first and second floor, plus the terrace. Hubby and i thought it was almost 45% pero it was just 32% lang based on the bank's survey. First release was 500k but we made advance payments to our contractor around 100k just to comply with the bank's requirement and also para hindi matigil ang trabaho nila. We are now reaching our 60% completion requirement. Sabi ni contractor target nya yung stairs, partitions for the rooms and bathrooms, palitada na tapos yung steel trusses for the roof. 300k na yun plus another advance payment of 100k.. Sa dami ng abono baka yung last release, around 100k na lang kay contractor. Hopefully, after the next release, makapagstart na ng finishing..

hindi ba delikado ang 36 sq m pagawan ng 3 floors tapos may roof top ganun kasi sa friend ko.

a silly question mga sis, say for example 3 floors na house then may rooftop pa, does the rooftop count as the 4th floor?

[younis]

^basta wag mong lalagyan ng bubong yung rooftop/roofdeck, pag nilagyan mo ma-ca-count sya as 4th floor, kung plain lang syang roofdeck ang tawag sa bahay mo 3-storey with roofdeck lang. ganyan nangyari sa amin sa munisipyo, yan ang inexplain sa amin, na-count as 3rd floor yung roofdeck namin kasi may portion na may bubong.

Alin kaya ang mas mahal? Ang magpagawa ng bahay o ang bumili ng condominium unit? Take note, fully furnished at kumpleto na ang interior.

How much estimated cost to fix the flooring of 120 sqm ground floor?
Need to dig, destroy concrete to fix leaks on the floor, kase during floods like Ondoy and Haikui, water seeps it from the floor itself. Re-cement, re-tile, including 3 bathrooms and 3 kitchens, 3 doors Kasi pero tabi-tabi. Any ideas? Suggestions po?

[chefron]

Safe to say ang 120k

You need a mason & helper/laborer. Better if you can find a mason/tile setter para after the concrete works sya na din ang magtitiles. And the price depends on the the type of finishing. If tiles depende pa rin sa tiles kasi may ordinary tiles meron mas mahal yung granite tiles.

Wow, 8m, how many storeys/floors? All concrete cement?
Ganun sana gusto ko mangyari sa house namin, 3-4 storeys, 3-4 doors separate pati meters para me privacy na kami, but we don't have that kind of money. at wala kaming malilipat. We plan to sell sana the single property but the amount won't be enough to buy 3-4 properties in the Metro for each family.
A temporary solution is to fix the floor to make our place livable kahit me superfloods. We live near a creek pala, pero hindi bahain, nung super flood knee-high.

[m_lim]

^2floors lang yun kanila. modern design. maganda talaga kasi maaliwalas since wala masyadong naka display since modern nga. pati covered ng glass ang lower floor.

pati cabinets ng pantry ang ganda. hay, sana makapagpagawa na kami soon.

[summer888]

mga sises, may idea ba kayo kung magkano magpa giba ng house? tsaka, possible ba part lang ang ipagiba? maayos pa yung bahay na ipapagiba kaso kailangan na kase hatiin yung lot. although, sayang talaga yung house namin kapag giniba kaso, yun lang ang way para mahati-hati yung property.
i heard somewhere na halos wala ka raw babayaran basta marami pang pwedeng pakinabangan sa parts ng house. parang yung mga parts na pwede pang gamitin yun na ang pinaka bayad sa mag gigiba.

Mga sis pahingi naman ng advice.  I do not know to make  new topic pero since this is construction related din kaya dito na lang ako nag post.

I am living abroad.  I am building a house at the moment  for my mom kasi victim sila ng ondoy kaya I decided to transfer them to a new home.  I hired an architect.  She belongs to the well known architect dyan sa pinas.  I hired her kasi she met my requirement sa house na gusto namin.  My budget is 6M for house construction hanggang sa maging 6.5M tapos 1M para sa interiors (sa kanya ko na rin kinuha ID services).  Ito ang usapan namin ng architect.  We had a bidding then I chose this contractor na na meet ang budget namin.  Sa kanya galing ang lists ng mga bidders.  This contractor na nanalo sa bid eh referred by one of the contractors nila. Then here comes the problem.  The construction is now delayed.  Hindi nag sasubmit ang contractor ng mga required paperworks nung una.  Nag meeting kami with him.  Pero talagang mabagal sya.  At ang workers nya between 10-14 lang.  In 2 months eh nasa second floor pa lang kami. For pouring pa lang ng slab.  May mga minor problems sa gawa pero inayos naman ng contractor ng i-check ng structural engineer.   I talked sa contractor na if he is willing to commit sa project.  Sabi nya na tatapusin daw nya project at halos mangiyak ngiyak pa ng kausap ko.  He already submitted yung required paperwork na hiningi ng architect.  Laging nag oovertiime na sila kahit linggo. Okay naman sa ngayon yung gawa nya at may regular checks naman from the team of the architect.  But this architect of mine wanted me to change the contractor.  Nung una ayaw ko dahil sabi ko nagbayad na ako ng unang payment at late na para magpalit.  Kung ano ano tinext sa akin ng architect ko about sa unang gawa ng contractor na palpak.  Sobra ako stress talaga kasi alam ko na magagastusan ako.  Pumayag na rin ako.  Then now eh walang gustong mag take over dahil sinabi nya sa mga contractors yung mga minor problem ng current contractor ko.  Tapos laging sinasabi ng architect ko na nasa akin daw ang desisyon.  Sa totoo lang naiinis ako sa architect ko na para bang ako ang may kasalanan na itong contractor na ito ang kinuha ko.  Eh sa kanya naman galing ang list of bidders.  May isa kasi akong contractor na gusto talaga pero sobra mahal at way over talaga sa budget.  From the very start eh she knows na wala akong alam sa construction at nasa abroad ako.  I trusted her na she will give me the best ones.  Tapos ngayong nagkakaproblema na eh sa akin ipapasa.  Pumayag na ako sa gusto nyang magpalit pero walang may gusto.  At pumayag na ako na magbabayad sa iha-hire nyang empleyado para sa transition if ever.  Para daw sa paperworks.  I am having chest pain because of too much stress.  Sa architect ako nai-istress ng todo.  Then di na nya na meet ang budget ko.  May mga owner supplied pa kasi na natira na di kasama sa bidding.  Yung pinaquote nya na mga windows at ibang owner supplied eh mga high-end that costs millions.  So sumobra na talaga sa 6.5M na budget na pinag usapan namin.  Yun pala eh the more na mas malaki ang total construction cost eh may makukuha pa sya doon na fee.  I feel betrayed by her.  Alam nya na loan lang ito sa bank at paghihirapan naming bayaran ang loan na ito.  Di ko naman sinabi sa kanya na gawing high end ang bahay ko.  BAsta binigay ko ang budget ko dapat dun nya winork-out dapat. Nag email na ako sa kanya at sinabi ko mga hinaing ko.  Di pa sya sumasagot sa email ko. 

Ang kinasama pa ng loob ko during the time na nagkakaproblema sa contractor eh i-text sa akin na "i get what I paid for".  What does she thinks of my 6.5M, a piece of s***!!  Dun ko din nalaman na ang mga contractor na kilala nya eh puro sa mga high end construction usually ang gawa.  Ito kasing current contractor eh ni refer lang at never pa nyang nakatrabaho.  So bakit nya ipapasa sa akin ang problema?  Panay ang sabi nya na they only recommend contractors that can meet their standards.  Then why did she let this current contractor to be included in the bidding in the first place?  Yun pla di nya kilala pina bid nya.   


Dalawa na sa mga kakilala ko ang nag advise na ang palitan ko daw eh ang architect.  Naisip ko na rin yun kaso sino ang mag take over ng construction ng house namin.  Yung contractor eh okay naman ang gawa sa ngayon at may contract naman so pag may mali eh aware naman sya na papalitan nya.  Pero talaga lang mabagal sya.  At nakausap namin ang isang ginawan nya ng house at okay naman ang review nya about my current contractor.

Sa totoo lang yung isang nag advise sa akin eh dating engineer consultant ng Eton pero retired na. Sabi nya eh okay naman daw gawa ng contractor ko when he sees the pictures of the construction.  It is too early to say naman daw na lugi ako.  Sya nagsabi na architect ang palitan ko.  YUng asawa ng kasama ko dito sa abroad na builder eh same ang advise. 

Pag [textspeak!] pa ring makuhang papalit eh I have no choice but to stay with my current contractor.  Pero I will point out to my architect na she is the one who put me into this mess so she should deal with the problem.  I have done my part.  I have listened to her already so she should give the services that I required of her. 

She told me before na dapat daw singilin ko contractor sa mga stress na binigay sa akin pero sa totoo lang itong architect ko ang nagbigay sa akin ng stress.  Nagkakasakit na ako dahil sa kanya.  I don't want to talk to her now dahil baka magka chest pain na naman ako. 

What advise can you give me about my situation mga sis?  It is a hard earned money at nangarap lang kami ng magandang house at magaling na architect to build our dream house knowing na we will be in good hands pero ito ang napala namin. 

Tapos di ko alam na pag may sinabi kami na may supplier kaming alam eh hihingin sa amin yung contact numbers para sila na raw ang mag aasikaso.  Yun pala may fee sila na siningil sa pagaasikaso ng mga quotations.  okay lang sana kung sinabi sa akin kaso nagulat na alng ako nung i-bill sa akin eh.  In short may mga hidden fees sya.  She really is very tricky.
