FOR FUTURE HOMEOWNERS: This is where your money goes! Best example on how to explain where that money is going. Thank you, Slater!

Things i learned from marrying an engineer 😊

Sana next content about finding the right contractor😅

Super informative. Sana mafeature din mga matitino / honest contractors na budget friendly din. These days, napakadaming contractors na scam talaga yung iba pa in a subtle way dito sa Pinas. Kaya kahit may pera ka na magpagawa, mag 2 isip ka pa din. Kung nagagawa nga nila sa mga sikat at celebrities what more sa mga simpleng tao lang

This is the most thorough video on the matter. Thank you for this, Slater! All the best on the road to 1 Million!

Salamat for all the great videos! We've watched so many of them. Now we are starting own design and construction in Palawan. We gave you shout out on our first blogs about design!

Galing ng explanation nito..the best ka talaga Engr Slater Young

I love this topic Sir Slater, thank you!

Thank you sir Slater sa pag enlighten kung gano kahalaga ang professionals kapag magbbuild ng house. But may tips ka po ba kung pano kumilatis ng matitinong contractors. Pano madetect yung redflags. Not in general sana, pero yung detailed. And if nag yes si client dahil magaling magconvince si contractor, pano malalaman if mali ang nakuhang contractor during construction. And how ipa-stop ang work knowing na may contract din kayo. Sa sunod na content🙂 thanks po

My wife and I are selling out here and will be building there in a few short months. Your content is without peer and much appreciated. We are planning to use Liteblock in our build but are concerned with transport cost and skilled labor in Bohol or Negros. You'll be seeing us in your showroom very soon. Thanks.

The problem with some professionals , they recommend suppliers that give them commissions.

THANKS A MILLION !!!! Love all these guidance.

Galing! Thanks, Slater!

Thank you sir,start to save now for my dream/business dream house 🙏

I think we need to also add the cost of permits and other alikes. This is seperate from professional fees and could also take a toll on the overall budget. Some contractors may include the leg work, but the main fees are on the owner. Also the amounts differ city by city.

Thank you, Slater!

excellent presentation, clear and concise. I'd double echo the design element, simple block forms, simple roof layout, simple interior spaces well designed will feel so much more spacious even if smaller than originally intended and save so much money in the long run - and also just get the layout and flow of the house right. Design led for your lifestyle is best 🙂

Very informative. Make sure the architect drawings is part of the cost of the home. Heard of people being shown all these features, but was told later, oh that is just a drawing of what it could be and many of those things are going to cost extra. The buyer thought all of the things in the drawings was what was going to be built but sadly found out they were not.

Thank you Engineer!🎉

Thank You Mr Slater for making this video.

Thank you Kuya Slater. Daming mga bagay na diko na take into consideration. Salamat po

Please do a topic on making your house typhoon proof by using materials that are available here in the Philippines.

Thank you for sharing. Very informative.

Very informative engr. Thank you

Thank you for the heads-up.

Very helpful! Salamat po! Sana katulad mo yun makukuha ko pag nag patayo ako ng my Dream House😊

thanks for this video! please make another one for the other costs, cheers!

Thanks engr! Im a newbie small contractor that is manifesting to be successful like you here in our province agusan del norte! ✨✨

Hi @Slater; I’m a skyfam fan! Can you please make an episode for tiny houses estimations and all! Thank you so much!

I'd like to see you with Tita Alice Eduardo. I can only imagine how we could learn from both of you. Maybe soon? 🤞🏻

Great infos. Maybe next video about rough timeframes, from groundbreaking to finish.

thank you engr!!

Another useful information

So useful!

What we learned as an architecture student in professional practice on how to estimate a project cost is based on areas, whereas enclosed, covered, and open areas have different estimation costs, and 10% of the total was given to professional fees, which are the architect and engineer.

I appreciate what you are doing. Really. Thank you sir. Malaman ng clients yung totoong reason. :)

Thank you! Naintindihan ko po lahat, pambili nalang ng bahay ang kulang :D

Hope meron din for commercial building construction 😊

Thanks for this video engineer @SlaterYoung. It gives me a glimpse of today's construction market and other things to look at when building a new house in the Philippines. I live in Toronto, Canada and most people here sell their items second hand or lightly used stuff on Facebook Marketplace from changing decour, high turn around of international students, home staging or people get, and most people here sell their items second-hand or lightly used stuff on Facebook Marketplace from changing decours, high turn around of international students, home staging or people getting bored of their stuff. I can send those imported items back in the Philippines for the new house. :)

for Renovations? who should you go to, a contractor? is there a computation to consider for the budget

next content po sana sir,, talent fee ng mga engineers/architects para may idea po ung mga clients natin. thanks po

I need this it's a big Help to the Assessors

I experienced this first hand, it truly pays to have an experienced professional with you during these times. It would be nice to know if you have a video or list of recommended suppliers :)

How about for houses made of light materials like fiber cement boards, wall cladding etc. They are faster to construct and less manpower needed. How is the cost computed?

Hope feature din po about roofing planning to build rest house in tagaytay.....actually nagpa quote na ako litepanel sa company nyo na cimatech

Love the content. The background music is a bit distracting though. Perhaps the volume can be reduced next time.

Very informative

Engineer, what do you think happened to the S&R in E rod? It hasnt been 5 years yet, but they will be demolishing it soon. It was built relatively fast, and when i would go there, I noticed some parts of their parking were closed off for maintenance.

We need this information! We’d love to know contractors too

Napanood ko ang vlog nyo about sa banyong may singaw, anong title ng vlog nyo para makita ko ulit, please..thank you

Nice

"THE PROPER PROFESSIONALS WILL LEAD YOU TO THE RIGHT SUPPLIERS". THANK YOU SIR!

I think there's something wrong with your cam sa ibang parts nung vid, 4K yung quality but the video itself is "sort of" pixelated (except for the stock videos/photos in the vid)

Perfect. Liked and subscribed too fellow vloggers

As a owner of mid-high end house. It’s not true. Bare finish cost 15,000-18,000/sqmz. Standard mid end with paint and stones from wilcon and fluted cost 23,000-25,000. High end cost - 30,000-35,000 and Ultra high end cost 40,000. ALL IN. Its better to choose the right architect with design and build scheme. Pinaka importante makita mo recent projects nila at maayos na tauhan. Slater’s level and his team has expensive talent fee. Kaya mataas sila kasi ang mabibigay nila sainyo peace of mind. Pero kaya rin naman ng iba yon basta tutukan mo palagi. Pinaka important icheck ang mga pipes and water proofing.

Good day Sir Slater! Taga Carcar Cebu mi Sir and planning to put up a house hopefully this year. Naa ka ma refer na company or construction company nga maayo? Thanks Sir!

Slater pls explore alternative construction medium like your inventions.

This is what we've been thinking about for the past few months, it's not only the materials and the labor. Ang permits pa, and yes the Geodetic Engineer, Plumbing etc...And like a car, it doesn't end when you move in...and maintenance pa...hehehe! And yes, fix it in the paperwork pa lang, kay once it's cast in stone, or cement...lisod na. Hehehe!

Galing. Clear and concise 👍

I love you Slater.

👏👏👏

Salamat kaayo ug daghan sa mga content nimu sir.. naa free consultation sir? Estimate lng hehehe.. pila kaha cost 2 story small house lng made of steel 1 bedroom level 1, level 2 2 bedroom, tapos roof deck pang 3rd level… hahah bka sakali lng idol hhahaha ky dli gyd ko mka afford nimu engr. Or sa inyong company mn heheh ky mga bigatin mn gyd kaayo oi.. Ky ng plano mi tukod sa among dream house 🏠unta 😊. Been watching your channel and salamat kaayo ug dako gyd interesting and informative kaayo. God bless Engr. Slater!!! Dakong tabang namo mga low budget ang imung mga content 🙏🏼😊🙏🏼😊😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

On change orders, sabi nga ng prof ko, "Mas madali magbura ng lapis kaysa magtibag ng pader"

hahaah like ako first time HO. 55sqm palang ang place, gulat ako sa price ng gate 100k agad pero mura na pala yun.

Which is better for a 12 yr old house? Renovate na gibain talaga lahat or to renovate nalang parts that need improvement? 😢 Thank you in advance for your insights 🙏

In other countries (or maybe just the 1 country). the government will subsidize 50% of your house. No property tax, no inheritance tax etc..

Specific one home a size of 300 square feet two story no furniture just amenity requirements like toilet, shower and tub. large kitchen, sink, kitchen cabinet of course the island.

I think another thing to consider is if may levels ba yung bahay na gusto mo. If currently the ground floor is ₱40k x 100sqm, tapos gusto mo pa lagyan ng 2nd floor na 100sqm rin, it wilk turn out to be ₱40k x 200sqm. Not sure if this is the case, my parents are architects as well and we’ve talked about this before, although di ko lang matandaan yung pricing if more than 1 floor yung house.

Overlooked cost for luxury/beverly hills was labelled "economic finish" instead.

How do one go about finding the right team? Firstly, find a good and honest contractor? Or a good architect?

MORE PA PLSSS

Mr. Slater Young can you please elaborate on just one construction home? With a budget 4/5 million piso?

Is it alright o have ramps althrough out instead of stairs?

Can you do a video on gutterless roofs like the one on Monterrazas?

Hello sir. Is epoxy resin paint used in the philippines? Is it advisable and cheaper to use it? Thanks and God bless. 🙏❤️

samalat po talaga nako laking tulong ito sa dream project ko

A lot of obvious tips pero must be said. Esp, in the phils madami pa din hindi licensed people and mga napasok lang sa construction. Also learned this from personal exp.

naku, natoto na kami. yes napaka importante ng mga tamang professional basta seguraduhin niyo lang na trusted.. kung pwede nga tignan niyo yong past works nila at kausapin yong owners kung kumusta experiences nil at seguraduhin niyo na kayo rin educated sa mga building codes material cost para makita niyo rin na hindi kayo inaano ng professional na yarn😅 pero may mga pinoy na titigas ng ulo. sa sobrang gusto makatipid naghire lang ng construction workers tapos sil na gumawa yun tuloy na x10 yong lgastos at ang pangit pa tapos ang tagal pang natapos dahil palaging na pause yong project dahil ubos na budget😅

Mag sisimula na akong mag aral maging engineer ng makatipid..

For those who really don't have a clue, maybe you are right. I designed our home. I gave the drawings to a Civil Engineer to produce the mechanical drawings the city would city would accept. I used a bid process for *all items*, to purchase based on my specifications. That included glass, roofing, rebar, other steel (including for the trusses we built on site with my own welding equipment)... We hired labor and made our own hollow-block. I had a ready-mix company pour the foundation, posts and beams. I am not sure how you were configuring outside parts, balconies with canopies, carports with trusses and roofing. I built my house eight years ago, and so labor was less expensive. Our place outside is concrete, plus wrap, plus skim coat plus paint except where there is tile. Inside I have double wall construction (blocksteel stud-fiberboard) for running all electric and plumbing in the gap, plus for insulation purposes. The electrical mechanical the city and the electric grid provider drew, (the electric provider didn't like what the city approved) BUT I didn't like either. the were a mess, inefficient and unsafe. I ran three wire fully grounded double insulated wire throughout the house and have distribution panels on each floor. And I didn't put all the aircon in that they called for because my home (in one area I only needed one 2.5HP as oppsoed to the 9HP they spec'ed, as the double-wall design is far more energy efficient. If I had used an architect and a commercial contractor, I would never have gotten the home I really wanted and wouldn't have been able to build my home with includes a high concrete fence around the 1000M property, for what it cost me. As it is, including all and the lighting, the electric gate motor, the electronic manhole gate latch with remote video and all the rest, my ~500SqM two story building cocts under ₱10,000,000. So maybe you are right for those who have no clue.

Updated pa din ba yung 25k per sqm pag economical finish?

Had a contractor here in gensan spend 400k of our budget on what ever he wanted. What can i do the contract has 3 weeks left and now he is ghosting me. I dont have a roof and no plumbing or electric

why are some parts of the video blurred despite watching it in 4k reso?

Lot area ba ng lupa or floor area yung multiplier?

had some expectations just basing it off from the title of the video but i really didn't get anything concrete here. all vague and not much really about cost specifics.

Thanks much. Most info. Like Llyan Austria (arch.)

wow this is good content, very rare nowadays 😂

Hi Slater, I’m not sure whether the area in your cost estimate computation refers to the Floor Area or the Land Area? Can you clarify please.... or anyone here who knows the answer.

Is there a Builders Warranty there ?

Please do not forget to include INTERIOR DESIGNERS

How much is the typical or average mark up of a contractor?
