The cost “per square meter” estimate, which currently ranges from PhP 21,000 to PhP 35,000, is a rough and aggressive ballpark figure based on prevailing cost of construction in the Philippines. We use it in initial client presentations only for reference purposes, but we do not actually charge based on it. The determination of the actual project cost entails a more accurate and detailed cost analysis based on some factors like: total floor area, material and finish specifications (which can be from the most basic to the outright luxurious), lot location and topography, and time frame – a house can be done faster with more manpower, but this adds to the cost.
The better alternative is the other way around. Give us your budget and our architect will design a custom house with the appropriate size and maximum specifications that can be bought with what you can afford.
Confidently, we assure you that when we build your home, the projected cost of the construction is fairly accurate because our cost estimate is based on correct “value engineering” principles. We are able to work on your budget by coming up with the best alternative materials and methods without sacrificing quality. So, just tell us how much you are willing to invest and we can start from there.
Terms Of Payment
With budget in mind, the house plans are designed and drawn, technical specifications and bill of materials are prepared, and the final project cost is reached. When all parties are agreeable, an Agreement of Construction contract is executed and building permits are secured; the construction phase will begin consequently.
We at Handymanoy do everything we can to make this whole process stress-free by offering clients upfront computations and being open about processes and potential budgetary risks. Some outright costs are house design fees and processing fees for building permits.
Payment terms basically goes this way: upon signing of the construction contract, we ask for ten percent (10%) initial payment to close the deal. When the Building Permits are released, the twenty percent (20%) down payment is settled to finally start with the actual house construction. The balance will be paid through a monthly progress billing scheme.
How can we assure you that your custom home is built to schedule and within budget?
Handymanoy commits itself to completing projects on time and to never go over budget. We do this by preparing all purchase orders based on the bill of materials immediately after the signing of the construction contract, before the actual construction even begins. This puts us away from possible price escalation of materials during the construction phase, which is usually the reason why other contractors go beyond the contracted project cost.

Simply ask for a Quotation for your House Type and Design.
Once we agree on the price and after the project is awarded, kindly send us the design (sketched plans and elevations with complete dimensions) and a scanned copy of your title via email. We will fit the floor plan on your lot area and make some adjustments. The design will be sent via email and returned with corresponding comments and suggestions by the client. We will continually revise the schemes until we arrive at a final design. Once confirmed and all designs are acceptable, we will print the Building Plans on 20" x 30" Blue Print size paper (signed and sealed), Bill of materials, and technical specifications. You then can personally or through a representative pick up the plans in our office in Dumaguete. For convenience, we may also send all these documents to you via LBC with no hassle.

Architectural drawing or architect's drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or building project) that falls within the definition of architecture. Architectural drawings are used by architects and others for a number of purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to enable a building contractor to construct it, as a record of the completed work, and to make a record of a building that already exists. Architectural drawings are drawn according to a set of conventions, which include particular views (floor plan, section, etc.), sheet sizes, units of measurement and scales, annotation and cross referencing.
