CONSTRUCTION TIPS AND POLICY
Construction Cost in the Philippines
"Good work is never cheap and Cheap work is never good"
remember "You get what you pay for"
Tips #1:
Never ask someone who is not qualified and licensed to design your home for the simple reason that they should not be doing it in the first place. They may try to show off that they can design a house but they need training, experience and, most of all, a license to do the job.
If you think that you can save a few thousand pesos for the job, are you willing to compromise the safety of your home and your family? This is one of the best examples of false economy.
Always ask a competent and licensed engineer to do the job for you. These engineers have the knowledge, education and experience that will help you build the house of your dreams.
Tips #2:
Having a house that is completed on budget is not about a test of your negotiating skills. It is about acquiring professional, reasonably priced, quality services. Builders will give you a discount only if they feel that they can still deliver your requirements with the budget that you are giving them. Try squeezing them on price and you will be very unhappy with the outcome.
OUR CONSTRUCTION POLICY:
We charge for the outcome not hours, we always do..it's in our professional practice. We either charge in percentage or per square meter.
We give our client our terms of payment in every stage of the projects - planning, scheme, design phase, construction phase. We do not offer free design.
Payment schedule will be agreed by both parties. If everything agreed, we make a construction contract and signed by both parties and notarized by a lawyer.
