As a structural engineer I am impressed by your decision to have your own blocks built on site; the quality looks good from what I see. The only thing I often notice is the poor quality of the mortar joints. I know that the walls are being plastered but I wish they inspect the exterior joints and try for a concave or V joint instead of simply ignoring it. These small details are not only for cosmetic reasons. The rebar work looks really good, the cage is well built with uniform spacing of the bars and ties. Nice work!
Thank you! We only hired based on experience and quality and told them not to rush or cut corners. Was very pleased overall.
Just wondering your thoughts about blocks vs cement-poured walls? I would think poured walls would cost more just on the amount of concrete used. I would think it would be much stronger and a better safety margin being there are so many typhoons that hit the Philippines.
BTW another great video! Haha, can see your project manager skills at work in retirement!
@@omegaman9330 Masonry block construction is much cheaper than reinforced concrete (Concrete is: cement + Sand + aggregate + water). Two options: You can use reinforced masonry to build a typhoon resistant house (but that's a bit complicated b/c you will need special blocks to build out your column and a proper design for the grout mixture, etc.). Or you can build a reinforced concrete frame house with masonry blocks which is quite effective and cost beneficial. This is the method I would recommend b/c it it easier to design and build in the PI. What is important is not only the frame/wall but the roof construction and all the detailing to prevent a failure. Most structural failures are in the connections between elements I.e. roof to frame support or frame to foundation… good luck.
@@szakhem Thanks for the info. I was watching a video on a typhoon-proof house or as much as one can be. That was being built in Leyte and they used a special mix of concrete poured walls. And to protect the roof it had little to no overhangs so the wind could not get under them. So I was just wondering if that would be a better solution being you are basically self-insured in the Philippines. It's clear what Corey did was a huge improvement over typical construction methods. Again just wondering as I am drafting my future house.
Btw, where exactly your house?
Just want to pin in google map to see how far are you from Dumaguete proper.
Great to see a breakdown on the cost after watching the house being built! Gives people a good idea what they could spend. Thank you!
Thank you and I got a lot of questions about cost so knew it would be a helpful video.
Stay Healthy and Happy with life. Thank you for loving our country. Watching from Canada.
Yay thanks you for informing us about your house and the up grade you did with the materials @ the costs that were very good!
The detailed explanation that you gave is why I decided to subscribe. Also the redundancy in the systems you chose indicates a level of preparation I respect. Thanks for the info.👍
Thank you I appreciate the compliments!
Amazing. From browsing prices around hardware stores I speculated it’s doable for 2-4M. But very hard to confirm through average Vlogs on UA-cam with prices but you have done a fantastic job and proved it’s doable. And definitely the best detailed and helpful I’ve seen on UA-cam. So thanks so much. A house like that in a subdivision from a developer you’re looking at 12M plus easy on 150m2 lot. Look forward to seeing new videos. It inspires me to make it happen for myself.
Thank you very much and I tried to be detailed without putting people to sleep. We could have easily built the house much cheaper, however the quality would have been sacrificed. Going with thicker rebar/metal and making a correct/proper cement mix makes a massive difference in the quality and strength of the house.
Moving over there in a couple weeks so more videos to come!
Thank you for sharing! It's is good to be there to see how the house is being built. YOu also know what supplies you needed. It makes you feel really proud to see the plan put into fruition. Supervision is a must. Thank you for sharing. Good job.
Thank you for watching
Watched this three times now. Best Philippines house cost video out there 👍🏻
Thank you!
Another great vlog. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for watching!
Dude, You Rock !! Wayyy Kool. Thx a Ton for the Post.
Reasonable price and the quality is great. Great job!
Pretty cool project! Hope to have an update for us next month! Good luck with everything =]
Thank you! And I will!
Y'all done a fantastic job on your house so both of you should be very proud of yourselves.👍
Hard work pays off and thank you
Finally a good video that explains a lot you really broke it down I like that,now i have got a general idea of the path I could take so thanks a lot bro👍🏿
Thank you for the compliment, my friend. I really appreciate it.
I appreciate your video, I was born and raised in Davao, I currently live in Hawaii. I'm at the level of maturity where I'm ready to build my own place in the Philippines, it took some time getting here. Thanks to your video I have a better understanding of the cost of the building a house. Very Informative again thanks.
Not sure if you will see this comment.. How is Davao? My wife is from Cantilan, Surigao Del Sur and considering moving there in the next 6-10 years when I retire.. How is the infrastructure?
Your videos among others have opened my eyes. I am actively planning on moving overseas the moment I have the necessary funds to do so. Thank you for the comprehensive overview!
Thank you for watching
I am happy to see young Foreigners confident enough to building his future in the Philippines. We build our home in the Province of Batangas in 2016. We spent about 2 million Pesos. For our log House, fencing, detached car garage and dirty kitchen. We decided for a contract paid half in the beginning. For the contractor to purchase the building materials. We are seniors and we are satisfied and happy with our decision. We are now planning to build a three bedroom guest house in our property of one hecteria mangoe farm in Batangas. Like I said you are a positive image to a foreigners building a good and better life in the Philippines 🇵🇭👌
Thank you for that and it’s great to hear that you agree with my plan. I feel like too many people in western countries feel like they are trapped and do not look for other avenues. I myself realized how happy I was when visiting and knew I had to make it a plan.
We have planned in bantayan Island as well if you don't mind and get a chance to see this could you give me the name of your contractor?
My wife and I are in our 40s, we bought a property in Nasugbu Batangas only about 250 sqm in a new developing gated community sub-division. We purchased it about 4 years ago and I am happy we did because the area is growing with more businesses and residential. To me it is a great investment for our future, we plan on retiring in the PH instead of the US because we want a more comfortable retirement.
Thanks for the information. Very detailed, Will for sure help others who are planning to build their own. Best and blessings :)
Thank you for watching!
very well put together video, new viewer, liked it so much that I have subscribed. Best of luck with your you tube endeavors.
Thank you
well done. thanks for sharing I'm thinking all the time i wanna move to the philippines ,and great to see your videos and learning from you too thanks
Go for it!
Yay finally, I was waiting for this video. Thank you for sharing this very detailed informations. Are these the prices recently? Btw, Love the front door. Congrats on monetization that was quick.
Good to see people liked it. These prices are mostly before the pandemic and some are during. Metal, glass, cement have gone up since then so I got lucky! Thank you for watching
@@ItsMe_Philippines Heck yes man, you got lucky with the timing. Goodluck to you and your wife. I will continue to watch your vlogs. Your channel is slowly growing fo sho. Thanks for responding.
Hi there. I’m about to build my house in the province and I’m so impressed with your build. It’s hard finding a builder who will give me an honest price for the build. Did you have this problem and were you there while it was being built? Are the builders from your area? Did you buy all the materials yourself? Tks
Great idea on the hollow block press bro. And the mixer. I should of done the same thing. Sick house. Looks like you’ve got great workers too.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Great video, I appreciate the detail and thoroughness of all of your videos! God Bless
Thank you
That’s utterly amazing you got that nice of a house for that price. That would be 5x the cost here in the states. Awesome!
Thank you! Plus what would the monthly taxes be in the states?!
Great video thanks again for your help with this video 👍📹great price 👍😀👌👏😊
Thank you for watching!
I think you did an amazing job and a good call on buying those machines to make your own bricks! Keep doing this amazing videos!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, we are planning on retiring in the Philippines within 5 Years from now and your videos are very helpful and informative! Thank you so much!
Great to hear and thank you for watching. Feel free to email me if you have any questions!
Thanks for sharing sir! Me and my husband build house last 2013 in small town of Philippines and it was way cheaper back then. but we are planning to build second one where we are going to retire! Hopefully end of this year! God bless you.
Thank you and I'm happy you found my channel. Prices on land AND material have gone up!
We were very fortunate on Bohol to have a crew of 8 who built our house. We started building our house in 2018, so our labor and material costs were considerably lower than yours, as costs have risen since then. We finished the ground floor while we were there, and my wife's parents have been living there since then. Due to COVID, we decided to have the same basic crew finish the second floor, roof, etc. We will be living in that upstairs area for the first time when we go there in May 2023.
I'm moving to Bohol soon. Property is already set up . Small amount of finishing. The home is blocks but concrete filled top to bottom.8.2 hectares of land. Can't wait to get there. Finishing my divorce and selling property. I'm renting a shipping container to haul sone things in. Truck , motorcycles , a few other things.
@@kevenbeene4585 May I ask you how much you paid for the lot and house?
Hello Ken, we are buying land in Bohol to build, can you share your builder? Thank you. Mark
Great video, thank for going into such wonderful detail! You took your time and built such an amazing house abroad! I had to subscribe!
Thank you!
Very good informative vlog. I will tell people who ask me the same question to go view your video for information.
Thank you for watching and appreciate the positive comment
Another great one. Coffee and It's YOU!
haha thank you
Thanks for the info, we're still in the US, but plan on moving there December 2024, we have a lot and I've been trying to get an idea on building costs there.
Questions:
How many square feet is your house?
What did you use plywood for?
What ration cement mix did you use for your blocks?
Thanks
Excellent disposition in regards to buying your equipment..my family do the same when building a house in Negros Oriental especially when it comes to mixing cement for bricks which should be mixed properly. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching
Good for sharing your experience and cost of the house so expensive
Nice job with your videos, great information, well edited. I like your house! My (filipina) wife and I also split the cost for our property over there. We have about 2800 square, meters on the water, so far have put in an access road, water line and electric but no structures yet. Making your own blocks is a great idea, I'll borrow that, although probably going to pour solid walls facing the water. Hoping to go back soon but it seems like it's going to be awhile before it's easy to get around over there. We always start out in Cebu but need a ferry or roro to get to our destination. When are you guys moving? BTW we about 60 miles west of Chicago.
Nice, good to see more people making smart long term plans. We are moving this February in hopes travel restrictions open up a little.
Probably near me then because we live west as well.
@David White that’s a great lot area and it’s on the water. Where in Cebu did you buy that lot ? I’m looking for a place also . I’m planning on spending about 3 months out of the year in the Phil. The water front properties I’ve seen is not on my price range so it might just be water close. Looking at a small house in Panglao close to Alona beach and a small lot, just 815m2.
Your idea of a block press and mixer and making your own blocks is exactly my thinking as well.... better quality control and bigger blocks equal a much better build.... thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Now I see your hard work in action. Great video.
Thank you
Great video! That’s actually not a bad price at all to build a house like that.
I agree with one of the other comments maybe you guys could start a business with a couple locals and make blocks for sale. Keep the videos coming!
I am very happy with the price because I figured it would probably cost me three times the price/240 K to build it here. On top of that I’d be paying crazy taxes on it for the rest of my life LOL
@@ItsMe_Philippines just had one more question. Who negotiated the prices for your materials? Your wife? I heard that if foreigners buy stuff they get charged the “foreigner” tax and pay a lot more.
Future (hopefully) home builder here, great video! I love this detailed breakdown. I bet you didn't regret going with the 6" blocks and more cement when that 6.7M quake hit, lol. Your house is built strong. Keep up the good work.
Nope! lol. Very happy with larger blocks and stronger cement mix. Not interested in saving pennies per block and watching my house crumble.
@@ItsMe_Philippines Hey, great video. I have one question left. How did you plan the house? Did you plan it yourself, or did you have a professional / foreman making the plans for the architechture and the material you need and so on?
I really dont know where to start, who to go to since its hard to tell who is a good trustworthy person to start planning together.
@@jonaske8049 Did it myself and it really wasn’t that bad. I took my floorplans/drawings to the architect and he made professional blueprints for permitting.
Feel free to email me and I can always send you some links and basics steps to take. Almost did a video on it but really didn’t think it would get views….
@@jahcudo Congrats my friend, and I am sure you will be very happy there. Personally love Dumaguete and everything around it! Easy trip to the mountains, caves, sandbar, Bohol, Siquijor, and Cebu.
my future brother in law is an architect. he draw the plans for all of the family homes. and a lot of my future in laws are in construction. i think i will get a good build.
Much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to explain how you have planned your build. I'm looking for land and was interested to see the price you paid for yours. (I would only want 500m2 though, which is so affordable). Motivated and inspired to get this done in 2022. Thanks once again
Thank you for watching and let me know if you have any questions.
@@ItsMe_Philippines We have ended up buying 3500m2 And it was still affordable!
Congrats! @@thechriswhewell
Your living our dream. Keep up the good work and thanks for the video
😃👍
Thank you for watching
Good job! You have planned and executed well.
Thank you! Just got to Manila and checked into a hotel. More videos to come!
Beautiful home, I've been here 6 years now and with my wife 4 years. I understand how some things go here and what I want. I am thinking about an angled flat roof just because of the costs and maintenance. A expat friend here just built a beautiful home that I watched. He is 50 years old and has serious back problems so he did something that I think was great planning. He made every main ground door 3 foot wide because he knew he would eventually be in a wheelchair. If you have time and are interested I'd like to chat with you
That was very smart of him knowing he has those problems. I'm lucky in the fact that I just turned 40 and still healthy.
How do you normally talk/call overseas? Couple different options available.
@@ItsMe_Philippines , I'm in Sta Rosa Laguna, metro Manila now. Where are you ? I do have messanger and Skype
@@nwced Chicago, packing for the move!
I am building a home about a kilometer down the hill from this build all on a single story floor, 36” wide doors and power outlets about 8” higher than normal so you don’t have to bend over too far for access. Im a big guy and wide doors look better and allow for possible wheelchair use. All homes should be built this way
@@ItsMe_Philippines , I use messenger for people you know ,but for business calls or banking, Skype works great. For about $5 you can talk about 100 hours anywhere in the world
Love these videos! Very informative! What material did you use on the roof? Did you do anything about noise reduction on the roof, walls, windows or does the block and double pane windows provide enough? Also same question about insulation for keeping house cool?
Thanks please keep making vlogs
Onduline and insulation up top. Walls are much thicker than average and double pane glass as well. Noise is lower than I expected and very happy with it!
You did a good decision BRO constructing your own house and affordable which you save more money.
You are awesome itemized the cost we are looking around in yt who tells the truth building or renovating a house in Philippines of course it depends how your budget. Amazing!
Thanks for watching and glad I could help!
Lovely house, similar concept to what I've had in US b4. My wife is hopefully arriving from Iloilo in 3 months & we been together 7 years, 2 years married.
Specifically, I very much appreciate the thoughtful house design and quality you put into building your home. I'm hoping you can provide a direct method to contact you, I have many questions. After my wife gets US citizenship in about 4 years, we are moving to the Philippines and building somewhere, Dumaguete area is high on our list. You've given me a new plan possibility of funding a lot and build the house slowly as you did still being in the US. Anyway, hope you get back to me with a way to discuss this in more detail.
Again, congrats on building a lovely quality home, hope I can do the same. Regards, Brad
Smart man and I like your plan. We love having the house right outside of Dumaguete so property and labor cost was low. Also plenty of privacy!
My email is on my "About" page in the detail section. Thanks for watching and happy to see people enjoy this type of content.
Great project. I knew from all of your cost breakdowns along the way that you had to be involved in budgets and costing projects. Are similar homes available for a similar cost? If it were me, even though I've been a builder for years, it would make sense to start with an existing structure, and add the things I want and need as I go.
Yes, I actually looked at a smaller house on the beach last week that was relatively cheap. I’m still considering it buying it because it could be fixed up and will worth keeping or renting.
Thanks for the details, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for watching. More to come!
Nice bro! Killin it. Boughten is not word though😂
I finished my house build in December 2019.
250 sq meter lot , house 175 sq meter 2 story.
3 split air conditioners, dirty kitchen, concrete driveway. 3m total in Pampanga
Very nice!
Good job my friend I am thinking the same way I will let my engineer start my house in August 2021 and I will take my little time because my wife is telling me she want to go back home soon so that is the reason why I am going to start plusMy engineer is someone I can trust so that is a good thing thank you for the video my friend and your House is very beautiful
Thank you very much! And I wish you and your wife the best of luck to the future.
Beautiful house sir! Congratz! I wish i could have that kind of house soon!
Thank you and we are heading over in a couple weeks! More updates to come soon.
Your videos on building a house in the Philippines is the best. The detail and information is so helpful. I live in Southern California and my wife express her desire to retire in Cebu. I purchased a property in a high end gated subdivision in Cebu for 280,000 pesos in 1997, today it’s 2.5 million to buy in the subdivision. There are few neighbors with 10 million peso houses. Building next year got me all anxious , but your videos gave me a lot of knowledge which is useful in dealing with the contractors and subcontractors. We are keeping our house here in SoCal, but I am only planning to spend 4 million pesos for a house similar to your house. Lot is 150 sq. Meters and the 2 floor house would be about 100 sq. Meters. Thanks again Cory and Racquel for your excellent channel.
Great comment and thank you. Enjoy your build and shoot me an email if you have any questions.
the hollow block maker u can make a good business out of it , u ll product will be american standard hollow blocks , a lot of people will buy ur blocks for sure . its quality product man .
Good idea! Thank you for watching
May I know if you don’t mind the place where you bought the hollowblocks maker? HM? Thank you
You can also have your block special order. ( extra cement ) . Last thing you wanna do is take their business
Its fun to watch a family live their dreams. My wife and I wish to do the same so it's great to see someone actually doing it. Can I ask, what did the lot cost?
Let me check the total on that. Sleeping very little and working to much to remember.
Thank you. Perfect. I was just putting a budget together for possible build . Cheers.
Shoot me an email if you want to discuss at all. Philippines.itsme@gmail.com
Loved the information. It has inspired me even more.
Thank you
Great video.
Would it be possible to share details in the description of each video in the series?
i.e
-Lot cost
-Lot size
-House size (sq m)
-#Bed/#Bath
-Total $cost
-Total time?
-Pool/Pond/Chicken Coop etc
Thank you again for detailing this process for others. Good Luck.
Good call! I’ll do that tomorrow and thank you for watching.
Great price for the house to got. Nice job...😃👍👌👊🙏🏡
Thank you, we are very happy here
Great job bro. 🎉 Very inspiring for me .

I watched your video and it was really helpful. I am coming there for vacation. One of the things on the bucket list while I am there, us to meet you in person if that's cool. Retired Navy man and have been there and want to see what life is like in the Philippines!
Let me know when you will be local and we can try and set something up. I'm always around my friend.
How much did perimeter/security wall cost if you don't mind me asking? Did you use your homemade 6 inch hollow blocks for wall and how many lineal meters is it? Thanks...

Saves a lot of time in labor and it’s a great investment!
Well done 👍👍 an inspiration to others too🙏
Thank you!
Our house in Dasar (village in Ilocos Norte) cost us around $56,000.
Her parents just moved in today. Took about 3 months to build.
Nice, Congrats! How’s the area there? I’ve never been there.
@@ItsMe_Philippines Absolutely beautiful. Laoag City is a short drive from the ocean. Dasar is about a 40 minute drive from there. Used to be 2 hours before they paved the road and built a bridge. The village is the last on the road, so it's way up in the mountains. You are surrounded by mountains, but one side opens up to rice fields.
People are amazing. Even in Laoag. It's a fairly clean place too. Low crime and low (by their standards) poverty. Too bad you can't send pics on YT.
@@archetypervb my email is on the “about” page under business inquiries. Would get spam leaving it in open on here.
great vid
Thank you!
Thanks for the full breakdown 👍.
Thank you for watching
Your video have good detail description and price on building materials compared to the diy home builders in Philippines
Thank you very much! Appreciate the positive comment.
Did you get your house wired to american standard? As an electrician in the local IBEW i wired my house in the Philippines the way i wired a commercial bldg. in the US. Ask the Utility Company to provide you with Single Phase three wire system that way you have 120vac on each phases and 240vac on both phases.
Good call and I will do that. Do you plan on adding solar at some point? We have looked at a few companies over there but not pulled the trigger yet.
$80k for the entire build is an incredible price. I cannot believe what you have achieved, it's a great effort!
I hope this isn't too silly of a question but did you include the lot value of $14k in the total or was that on top of the $80k?
All included my friend and thank you for the compliment. That also includes my pool, gym, garage, and two large fish ponds. I will be doing plenty more videos on the house!
Where we live in Chicago is just about empty at this point. On our way next month to the Philippines!
@@ItsMe_Philippines I'm gobsmacked, seriously!
I was considering condos or purchasing an already established home but I'm reassessing my options now.
I'm moving over there (Philippines) in the next 2/3yrs and want to prepare. Your information and insight is very useful and I appreciate your approach to the whole build-your-own, it's not slap dash like many ppl I've seen before.
I've only recently come across your channel so I haven't caught up on all your submissions yet so I hope I don't ask too many questions that you may have already answered in your videos 😅
All the best for 2022 and your transition over to the Philippines. I'll be sure to follow your story along the way.
@@der888 Thank you and thanks for watching. Its the smart thing to do when your younger/below 60 in my opinion. If I was 60+ I would just rent. However, since I will be in this home for many years I want it built to our needs.
Condos are also a great investment over there. Gives you the option to move if you do not like it and just rent it out.
Beautiful home. Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you for watching
Good choice that you're making your own blocks, dont use seasand to make blocks because it weaken the Iron
The Philippines is a safe place, but you have so much security built into your house. Do you feel it’s warranted? Is it because expat homes are targeted for theft being so much more advanced than Filipino-style homes?
No it’s not warranted and I honestly went overboard when I built it.
The best channel about Philippines
Thank you!
Thank you. very informative .
Did you hire a crew? Or a contractor?
Thanks
Yes, we hired a very good Forman and he runs the crew. Makes sure everyone is always working.
That 69k total include the 14k for the lot?
Technically, that would include half. My wife and me actually split the cost of the land upfront.
Still, great price for what you have there, and its beautiful. I'm hoping to be able to buy land and build for $100k...5mil pesos. From what I've seen, it can be done depending where you choose to build. Thanks for the response.
@@maze9323 You could honestly build a nice house for 40k so anything above that is a plus. Now, like you said that's ALL about location!
@@maze9323 when we buy our land. we got 2 hectors for 550. thousand pesos. our house cost about the same to build. now land around us has went up a lot. up to from 300 to 1000 per squar meter. ..there's still some good deals out there, but be patent. seems like as soon as one foregoer moves in the price goes up.
Just subbed, thank you for your content😊
Thank you for watching. I'm really happy that people are enjoying it.
Thanks for the intel very good job!
Semper Fi Brother!
Wow, pretty cheap actually for a custom home. I can't believe you got 9 custom solid wood doors for $900. You pay that for one entry door in the US and it's vinyl with pressboard core. I just love all the local materials, the wood is so beautiful.
Good points and thank you
Thanks so much for the info.
We are just about to pull the trigger on a lot to build on.
This was very helpful.

comprehensive breakdown, nice!!
Thank you 😁
nice, i dipped all my block in a barrel of very wet cement and dried them in the sun! hahaa...

Thank you!
Beautiful house with an awesome price.. great job 👍
Thank you!
Very informative !!.. thx for sharing
Thank you for watching
Great job on this very informative video. In which Barangay in Dumaguete is lot where you built . A bit tough to find a lot at good price
I’m 1.5 hours north of dumaguete. Rather not live inside the city
Nice!
I have been in the Dumaguete area for a few months now. Building here seems like a lot of work after seeing what friends go though. Lol
I finished a house in the US before coming to the Philippines, and I know I went way over budget. It is amazing how many things I upgraded. I would think, that's only a thousand. Lol but after doing that over, and over it gets to be massive. I was over $100k over budget.
Wooooh 😂
Great breakdown! I am building a beach resort in Cagayan De Oro City with my Filipina wife. I have been to the Philippines 19 times, and we live in Seattle USA and we will move to CDO next year to open our 5 Storey beach hotel. We built our house there as well. Keep living it up! Excited for the future!
Seattle is one of my favorite cities to visit. Always enjoyed it minus the rain!
@@ItsMe_Philippines Exactly too much rain but Island life next year can't wait!
Thanks bud i have been looking into this and time to start saving :P
Any time!
How big is the house again please? Thàt is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Good video.
Very informative, thanks. God bless
Thank you
Holy cow! All that for $70,000. Incredible. Thanks for the info.
Outstanding... To build a house like that anywhere in the Chicagoland area would be between $300k - $500k and possibly more due to a lake front property.... Well Done...
Plus the taxes in IL would 1-3k every month! I paid $84 for the last five years combined.
@@ItsMe_Philippines Thats incredible, I pay about $26k in taxes and about $4k in home insurance...
