With the surprisingly strong typhoons that is visiting the country, it is just about time that Filipinos invest in properly built homes. We have seen and experienced how catastrophic Typhoon Odette was, that even big hotels and commercial establishments in Cebu, Bohol, Siargao and neighboring provinces were badly damaged.
Be prepared with whatever the future holds by stashing solar powered lights and charging techs you can use to recharge your smartphone! Check this link.
Philcon Prices – Sample House with Ongoing Roof Construction
If big establishments were severely disfigured, how much more the tiny residential ones? We hope the knowledge that we are going to share here, somehow help our Kababayans to build or rebuild strong roofs that is typhoon-proofed. A typical Filipino with a limited budget should know the things to consider to typhoon-proof their roofs and prevent it from getting flown by strong winds.
The sure way to typhoon-proof roofings are the following:
Get it designed by a professional.
You can never go wrong hiring one. Professionals are equipped with knowledge on how to design roofs the proper way. Instead of hiring “knowledgeable” labor to just decide things based on his “experiences”. Professional Architects and Engineers can do it best and is backed up with calculations to justify their designs.
Get it constructed by a legit contractor.
Properly designed plans is useless if not properly constructed. That’s the reason why there are “Designed Plans” and “As-built Plans” as mandated by our law. A legitimate contractor know how to read the plan and how to put it up based on proper engineering construction techniques.
Have the completed work inspected by a professional.
Quality control and assurance always accompany any infrastructure construction. That’s the reason why real state developers hire a person solely for quality control and assurance. This professional patrols and ensures the quality of the building in-behalf of the owner, since, owners normally don’t have the knowledge and intellect on building and construction.
Anyhow, we understand that there will always be fellow Filipinos who wouldn’t want to hire professionals because of monetary restrictions. If the things above are still out of budget, then please ensure that your roof will be construction with the things below in mind.
Philcon Prices – Truss Plan Sample (Not For Construction)
Properly tied or anchored trusses to the roof beam
Trusses, normally should bolted or tied into the column or roof beams. Base plates in between the truss and the column is placed for proper load distribution. Anchor bolts are placed in the column and is concreted together to ensure that it is rigid and firm.
Properly-welded, or bolted connections
Joints of each roof members, of course, should be properly executed. For wood roofing structure, bolts or metal straps are advised instead of nails as it is considered a weak support.
Use non-substandard materials
In the first place, substandard material should have never existed in the market. Always patronize business supplier that sells legitimate materials so those that trades substandard will not thrive.
Complete roofing accessories (Sagrods, Turnbuckles, Metal Straps etc.)
Roofing accessories which contribute to its ability to withstand heavy wind loads are often overlooked. Metal straps may be needed to roof trusses and is tied to walls. Sag rod is important to restrain the movement or deflection of purlins when subjected to load, also is often not considered.
We’ve scouted a site with good customer reviews for their hand tools on this site, they ship nationwide!
Proper roof installation in the Philippines may be taken for granted especially for people who works just to get by day by day. It is sad that we have fellow countrymen who are still unable to consult and hire professional to construct their roofs. We hope that the guide above helped them somehow.

For some reason, you may want to add fixed outlets in a certain location for you home. Say, you extended your home with additional bed room or, you may be a condo owner and you want to put outlets on that part of the wall. Below are the actual materials and costs we spent when we added additional fixed outlets in our condo unit.
Additional Fixed Wirings and Outlets Materials
We would like to add four outlets. Two sets for the workstation and two sets for the kitchen. Both were provided with a circuit breaker since the we are still undecided on where is the kitchen or the workstation on the two locations. Three outlets were inside the unit and one is in the terrace.
It is advisable to ask a professional on the capacity of the circuit breaker you’ll purchase since it depends on the appliances that it will cover.
The electrician we chose is experienced and professional. He did several projects with a Professional Electrical Engineer. We agreed on a fix rate of P400 per outlet and P400 per breaker. Meaning, for the four outlets and two circuit breakers, we incurred P2,400 on the labor cost. They provided all the power tools and the stairs needed to elevate themselves. They completed the work in around four hours.
We’ve found a well-known furniture shop with good reviews on this site, they ship nationwide!
Our condo unit has a total area of 24 sq.m. with dimensions of approximately 7.4m x 3.25m. Tiny one room it is. If you have larger room or house extension, you may need additional wires and/or molding.
Below is the breakdown of the materials and its corresponding costs as of December 2021. All based on mall price. (Price may vary per location, please check with your own local prices).

We opt to put the wirings outside the wall and just cover it with PVC molding so the work will be faster and to prevent dust, debris and concrete chips. We have already occupied the space and there are appliances and furniture.
For those who want their additional outlets embedded inside the wall, you may need to pay additional concrete chipping tools and payment. You need additional cement for plastering works and painting materials for the painting works. You also would need PVC conduit, instead of molding, for your wires to be safe and secured beneath the wall. All which are not included on this post.
To summarize, the total amount we spend for the additional outlets were:
Materials: 3,838.57
Labor: P2,400.00
Total: 6,238.57
The output was good and we are satisfied. If you are sure that the electrician you are eyeing is knowledgeable and with a good track record, then you’re in safe hands, regardless the cost. Always get a professional advise if in doubt. You can never go wrong hiring one.
