House Constuction [Merged]

[van_wilder]

norman, thanks for the recommendation...

raikonen kung ganun good ang contractor mo... yup kasama siya pero depende sa usapan kung minsan hindi

[van_wilder]

Sir van_wilder, I'm constructing my house also about 60% na siya. About painting, is Davis a good choice also? When is the right time to start the painting preparations of the house like the primer and top coating? I know mga 2-3 months ang preparations before the final coatings so kailan ba dapat mag start? Target ko dapat December tapos na painting pero lagi naman nag-uulan so dapat ba akong mag start kahit tag ulan? Magkaka-effect ba ang tag ulan sa quality ng painting job during rainy season? Dapat ba meron ng mga cabinets ang mga rooms bago mag start? Ano ba yung tinatawag nilang ducu finish ba yong? Kailangan ba talaga yun ducu finish? Sorry sir wala talaga akong idea pagdating sa mga paints. Paano ko ba mababantayan yung painting job kung okey ba pagkakagawa or hindi? Wala naman kasi rin akong idea kung paano mag rate ng quality ng painting job. Last is, paano ko malalaman kung fair na yung price na sinabi sa akin ng contractor? Thank you sir.

havent tried davis yet. di naman two to three months, depende. kami we are painting at one of our projects right now pero medyo mahirap kasi tigil kung umulan. sept. is a good month to start. yup may effect ang ulan sa painting, and meron na dapat cabinets and rooms...

Boysen is a ripoff :D

I use Davies.

[van_wilder]

different strokes for different folks...

depende yan sa pag-gamit kasi...

[BlueBimmer]

ok naman boysen e, davis ok rin. 50% of the time mas mahalaga ang painter at preparation na ginagawa nya lalo na in concrete painting. di yan basta basta lang brush/roll away.

if you want cheaper paint pwede rin Rosco.

raikonen: P15K per sqm is about right, pero sa ngayon siguro ay medyo nasa lower end na iyan ng quotation.

Suggest ko lang,- if you have the money, siguro lumipat na kayo ng lugar. Maybe easier said than done, pero mahirap ang binabaha. Kahit sabihing bago at mataas ang bahay mo,- palagi kang may kaba sa dibdib....

raiko.....being an architect myself, aprub lahat sinabi ni van_wilder....additional suggestion and i dont know if it will work since i have'nt seen ur site. but why dont u include some site works, meaning try to put up retaining walls to block the floodwater or overflow trench on ur perimeter. iknow it will be difficult in some cases but starting from the ground IMO is the best way.we have don it before, hope it will work.
try consulting a landscape archt to work with u. they have the know-hows to these things.

yes, 15-20k/sqm nga depende sa materials and finish. and yes, we're transferring to another subdivision na medyo mataas. meron ako nakuha 2 lots dun 3 yrs ago.. old subd na kasi lugar namin kaya naiwan na.

bungalow type balak pero split level. long span roof w/ paint na lang. what do guys recommend, gauge #26 or #24 and magkano price diff nila..

[Elroi]

thanks yuichi, di ko nabasa agad post mo.

yung lilipatan namin na lugar ay mataas na.. balak ko pabakuran na yung 2 lot kasi magkatabi naman.. pero to anticipate future flooding sa new place (wag naman sana), i'm raising the lot ground ng 1m sa street level, addtl 0.5m yung floor area and addtl 1m yung mga rooms..

[boybi]

yung 15-20K per sq.m. kasama na ba finishing? as in lalagyan nalang ng appliances and furnitures?

pareho ba ang computation kapag sa bahay at commercial bldg?
