If you want to build a house, who is the first person you would go to, an architect or civil engineer?

By: Jasper Gementiza

The most common myth about architects is that they only design houses. In reality, architects design buildings, from schools and hospitals to office towers and shopping malls. Architects also designed the interiors of buildings and the landscape around them.

To build a house, you must hire an architect to design the plans. Once the plans are complete, you need to hire a civil engineer to handle the structural analysis and specify the materials used. Once the plans are done and the permits have been obtained, you can begin building your house. The first step in any construction project – a home, a commercial building, or a bridge – is to create an architectural plan.

This plan is a two-dimensional drawing showing the proposed structure's footprint and location on the property. However, before the architect can begin the design process, they must first consult with a civil engineer. The civil engineer will conduct a structural analysis to determine the project's feasibility and identify potential problems.

Once the architects have the green light from the civil engineer, they can begin to create detailed plans and specifications for the project. These may include a set of drawings, called renderings, showing what the finished project will look like and a walkthrough, a three-dimensional simulation of the space.

So, who do you go to first if you want to build a house? The answer is a civil engineer.

Building a new home in the Philippines is a huge investment. Not only the budget cost of the land but also the factor in the cost of the materials, the labor, and the permits. The cost of building a new home in the Philippines can range from PHP 25,000 to PHP 35,000.00 per square meter.

If you're planning on building a new home in the Philippines, it's essential to do your research and compare different home-builder options. When meeting with potential home builders, ask about their credentials and experience. It would be best if you also get referrals from friends or family who have built homes in the Philippines.

Building a new home in the Philippines is a big decision – but with careful planning, it can be a very rewarding experience.

Construction costs can be broadly divided into seven categories:

Materials,
Labor
Equipment and tools
Professional fees, and
Overhead,
Contingency, and
Miscellaneous

Here's a more in-depth look at each of these categories:

The Direct Cost
1. Materials: This category includes the costs of all the materials needed to complete the project.
2. Labor: This category consists of the wages of all the workers working on the project.
3. Equipment and tools: This category includes the costs of any equipment or devices used in the construction process.
4. Professional fees: This category consists of the costs of any professionals supervising the work.

The Indirect Cost

Contractors must account for three main costs when building a new home: overhead, contingency, and miscellaneous. Overhead costs are necessary to keep the business running but are not directly related to construction. Contingency costs may be incurred if unexpected problems arise. Miscellaneous expenses do not fit into either of the three categories.

To profit, contractors must carefully estimate these costs and price their services accordingly. If they underestimate the costs, they will not make a profit. If they overestimate the costs, they may price themselves out of the market.

Building a new home is a complex and expensive undertaking. Contractors must carefully consider all of the costs involved to be successful.

Here are a few things you need to remember when budgeting for your new home.

The cost of construction materials has been on the rise in recent years. This is due to the increasing demand from China and other developing countries. The price of lumber, concrete, and other building materials has increased, which is likely to continue.

The minimum wage has gone up, and the cost of living. The minimum wage has increased, and the labor cost has increased.This is mainly due to the increasing cost of living in the Philippines.

In conclusion, the cost of building a new home in the Philippines varies depending on several factors. The most crucial factor is the home's location, as prices in rural areas are typically lower than in urban areas. Other essential elements include size, type of home, and construction materials. To get an accurate estimate of the cost of building a new home in the Philippines, consult a local home builder.
