Looks like a lot of comments here are simply jealous of you and your wife's achievement brother. Surely they underestimated her poorly. Congratulations on your new, beautiful house!
I dont think there jealous, just that they have seen this story play out too many times. The guy builds a house, the woman decides she and her family would live better there without him and she tells the guy see ya. She OWNS THE HOUSE, not him. He keeps saying we, but its actually hers. Im glad he only spent about 30,000 us on this house, so its not like he will lose a fortune if it comes to that. Hopefully, they live happily ever after.
@@John-or8ze She owns the ground the house is built upon, not the house.. Thats why I look into container homes, because then I could say, okay fine, have fun with your plot of land, I'm moving with the rest of it ;)
@@John-or8ze You are correct on land but not on the house, if you do it right your foreign name can be on title as well as hers and worse case split sale of house in the event of a break-up
Nicely done. I built a small house (27sqm) with family, local labor, run by an experienced Mason as an experiment to see how well they would do. It blew my mind. The only complications we had was needing to fire the assistant Mason. 3 months to build. 9,000 pesos psm, but no expensive finishes; only painting and linoleum floor. Pipe from cr to septic. But it's a little gem.
finally a video which provides an accurate cost of building here. Of course it varies by region.....cost of bringing in materials and labor rates. Note that going with a 2 story house is not really any less per sqm as here everything is concrete which means pilings to support added weight plus concrete posts and beams and 2nd floor slab which can be more than savings on roofing area.
Congratulations to your humble abode. While i am not in a position to comment on this subject, let alone not having a complete narrative on the building process of hour house, honestly your cost is above present applicable rates prevailing.As a retired contractor in the Philippines, looking at the category with respect to the finishes applied in the structure, your average cost could not go beyond P18,000 / sqr meter at present rate. Perhaps there were several revisions taken that entails add on cost, but then anyway at least for now it is done and what is important is you and family is happily contented with the endeavor of hour making.

Fantastic! Another very nice video sharing of your "Final Cost of Building a House in the Philippines". Full support as usual. Good luck and best regards po/Ned👍👏👍
Excellent teaching video. Thank you for sharing your house and valuable information. I’ve just subscribed your channel because I thoroughly enjoyed it if you have other videos please keep them coming everything from purchasing a vehicle to a motorcycle to furniture to whatever would be great to hear from you and your for honest perspective. Thanks again for a wonderful factual video
Oh the joy of seeing all that shitty blockwork with joints varying from an eighth of an inch to 4 inches with render and worst is to hope that the ebegging covers the whole cost of the build.
Hi, the location is Bohol Island in the Philippines. Land was free in this case. You may watch some of my older videos, that answer most of this questions.
accidentally saw the video in the recommendations. Thanks for the info - rarely does anyone honestly and openly talk about money and cost our days. Respect. I have a question - what is the market value of this house in Bohol? If we consider it as a business. I understand that everything depends on the place - I was in Bohol and I understand what Panglao is and what Anda is - but still, plus or minus what could be the market value in a normal place, not in the jungle. In your opinion? Thank you in advance for your answer.
If someone wants to buy this house in this location, I would say 4 - 5 Million PHP. That's including the land. We looked at another house before we started building in the next village, which was 1.8 Million but smaller and Filipino style bathroom and on a smaller piece of land.
Vielen Dank für das wieder einmal sehr informative Video! Man kann sich so einen guten Überblick verschaffen, und auch wenn jeder seine eigenen Voraussetzungen hat (Baukosten, Material, Wohngebiet...) so hat man doch einen sehr guten Überblick, welche Kosten anfallen werden. Ich freu mich auf das nächste Video.
One of the things about the Philippines is the lack of skilled labor. I was helping a friend in the Philippines who had damage to his Roof.. it was only a 6 ft section. .. maybe a 6 hour job at the most. It cost $1200 and it took 3 weeks to finish. I have seen a guy build a house which was supposed to be $119,000 and the final cost was $189,000 for a 1600 sq ft house...
Yes. A Team of 8 workers plus Foreman were working almost every day. They started digging on Dezember 19 and we moved in on March 26. You can watch the older Videos in this Channel, also the Shorts.
@Phil Have you heard of Cost Plus Contract? Ask your Builder if they can do that for you. It’s a lot safer for the Client or Future Homeowner to have this type of Contract As a Builder, We highly suggest this type of Contract, because you have full Control of the Materials that will be used in your project. You want the most expensive roofing for example, sure you can, you want the most durable wall system, you want the the cheapest Floor Tiles, yes you can. You have full control of your spending on Materials from Structural to Architectural
Thank you for covering the building costs . Your house is beautiful. How much was the labor cost per worker ? I’m about to build thete too on a limited budget . Can I ask what was the cost of the land there?
@billkeller3083 Minimum Wages varies depending on which province or Region you are building your house. NCR being the costliest. As a Builder/Project Manager, when we have a project outside of NCR we bring only a few Skilled Worker from NCR and then hire a non skilled local laborers from the area. It’s a win win for the client and local community.
Hi, congrats on the house, it's very beautiful. I didn't understand if you had already bought the land on which to build the house and if possible to know which island in the Philippines.
Great information - thanks a lot! Und einen freundlichen Gruß aus dem deutschen Aachen! Lebe noch in D, habe aber ein echtes Interesse an den Philippinen. Alles Gute im neuen Heim!🤗
Hi how are you, would like to know how much did you spend only on building material , like cement, steel bars, hollow blocks,sand, gravel, only to build the skeleton of the house. Thanks
I built 120 sqm house for just under 900k fully finished and the local workers are the same as ya pay double for through contractor and inflated rates for supply's wow I feel blessed we didn't use contractor but I did have work inspection done after house completed and passed every inspection so use local when possible people
Am in Bohol for the month of October to look for land to build a house. Aside from Panglao, anywhere else you would recommend? Loon, Baclayon, Anda etc? Great video by the way, like your others very informative, thank you.
If I could choose where to stay in Bohol, I would choose Panglao or anywhere else in the Philippines near a tourist place. But unfortunately, sometimes you have no choice... In Bohol, a lot of foreigners also stay in (on) Sandingan.
Hi, the land near the beach is generally expensive, I live on the island of Guimaras, near the city of Iloilo, I'm quoting materials to self-build but towards the center, I don't like it close to the water, and the video of the German man made me it has been very helpful in guiding me with the costs, but I go to build lighter, concrete and steel for the structure, c-purlins panels for the partitions and aluminum and glass for door-windows. There are many beautiful places here in the PH, gopefully you can find one a good price. Greetings!
Well, the currency in the Philippines is Peso. Is you are interested of building a house there, get used to it. Just divide all mentioned numbers by 56 and you are just about right, for today.

Not true anymore, he certainly can lay claim to the house if he wanted and that would need to be split in a sale she couldn't just take it. The land could also be contested if they are married and some money also there. Also if he becomes a citizen should he choose then he's fine
I am glad that you represent the type of people who expect everything to be done for them, and paying the price. I hope that the more people see that it is not as "cheap" as they think, the LESS people consider moving here.

The Philippines is already overcrowded by "expats" and their attitudes and LACK of respect for local culture.
May I ask who your contractor was? and were you happy with him? Thank you
We were very happy with them. You can contact them here: facebook.com/arkasia.cdc
