Sir advice ko lang...para mas makatipid ka at may strict idea ka ng mas close amount ng cost mo for construction ng bahay mo are the ff.:

1. Make a complete design plan of your house (for estimate purpose at mas madaling mailalayout ng mga workers mo)

2. As much as possible nandun ka mismo habang gumagawa,hands on ka dapat sir at ikaw mismo ang mamimili ng mga gamit para may idea ka ng price..if d ka available make sure meron kang mapagkakatiwalaang tao na magbabantay ng bahay mo during const.

3. Provide cost estimate..napakahalaga nito especially tight budget ka para ma monitor mo yung price ng mga items na bibilhin mo if mahal ba or mura (nakatipid ba or hinde). For example, sa estimate na nakuha mo or ginawa mo is ang cement = 250php/bag..then nung actual bibili ka may ibat ibang brand ng cement like eagle,rizal,holcim etc.. makikita mo yung price nila per bag at malalaman mo at monitor kung nakatipid kaba or pasok sa budget mo..

For those who are interested to inquire about residential construction just pm me..thanks!
