This is a small house, thus, for small family, a 4-person home for people who are just starting to settle down. Construction of houses in the Philippines may vary. A lot of factor plays for the total construction cost of a house. The most common determinant is the area, the aesthetic, meaning, the materials used, and the location.
This guide will help you determine the total cost to build your own home from start to finish.



This is a 76 square meter house. There are two bedrooms with single car park.
The balcony and the house is elevated at 0.20 meters. Low-cost materials were used during the designing and estimation, but the structural credibility is not compromised.
All floors were tiled. The balcony has enough area for visitors and family dinners. The idea is to provide enough space to “breathe”. Perfect for barbeque parties and socializing. There are two comfort rooms, one is common and the other is on master’s bedroom. Service area is located at the rear portion of the house with sink.

I would like to buy the same type of model house shown in this page which costs more or less at P1 million. I also would like to request if possible the fencing of my 180 sq. m. lot located at Holly Day Park, San Pedro, Laguna, Metro Manila. I intend to pay the total cost in cash. Thank you.
