I am planning to build a new house for my family in the Philippines by next year. Connie, the blogger, the millionaire, is taking care of the cost estimate for the house. Its not going to be a million-pseso house, as I can't afford it. I just want a nice comfortable house for my family and a decent place for us to stay when we visit them (hopefully by March 2010). That way we don't have to stay at hotels and can save money...
So I am waiting for the estimate of Connie. She is an engineer so she has many connections! Plus the service is for free! With design pa yan! If I were you, try to make friends with Connie! Take advantage of her kindness!waaaa
Thanks Connie...

The cost to build your house or commercial building depends on the exact location (can we use a truck to bring the materials or do we have to carry?), total floor area (make the house 2x bigger and the price will become 2x higher), the logistics/accessibility (city or province or island?), regulations/restrictions of the local government or subdivision, soil-type, neighbor-buildings, availability of local skilled labor, source of electricity/water etc. plus you have to select what level of finishing you want (low-cost, average or high-class).
But to give some guidance:
A 100 sq mt one-level house will cost roughly Php 1.8M average.
A 100 sq mt two storey (50 sq mt ground floor plus 50 sq mt up) will cost roughly Php 2M average.
(make the house 2x bigger and the price will become 2x higher)
This is mostly including: building-materials (doors, windows, roof, kitchen, paint, tiles etc.), labor, electrical/plumbing, equipment, tools, professional fees (management, supervision etc.), mobilization, demobilization, temporary facilities, transportation, waste-disposal, blue prints, bonds, insurances and other incidentals to complete the work.
Not including (we offer this but seperately priced-) mostly are for example furniture, fixtures (chandelier etc.), appliances (aircon, refrigerator etc.), landscaping, fence/gate, pool.
Your blue prints and construction-contract will contain all final details.
