Where do we start?

Design
The design phase is the most important phase in the process of
making your project a reality. It is also the first step. An
overdesigned structure could be beautiful but would not
materialize because of cost implications. We focus on the
following:
- Beauty and overall impact
- Cost and Budget
- Efficiency
- Safety
Experience plays a major role in becoming a great designer. Since
we are also builders, we always make it a point that our design is
beautiful, efficient, safe and ofcourse, within the budget. Most
design firms say they have construction experience yet the design
is usually out of budget. Ask them for a portfolio of "ACTUAL
BUILT DESIGNS" and they will just show you a couple of projects.
Since they only focus mainly on design, they have to charge high
so they can recuperate operational expenses in their office. Our
company designs and constructs as well. This challenges our
designers to design each project beautifully and efficiently.

Design Fee:
Our design fee package depends on the complexity and size of the project. Although each project is unique and the fee could
vary depending on several factors, for budgetary purposes and to give you an idea of how much it would cost for us to design
your project, these are our usual rates (Please remember that should the construction contract be awarded to us, cost of
Engineering Design Plans will be deducted from the construction contract cost as discount.):

Step 1.1: First Meeting at our Office andData gathering

To design efficienctly, we would first need to meet you in our office and would need the following inputs and data
from you:
- Copy of Title or Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) so we may plot dimensions of your property / lot
- Lot plan or lot dimensions will also do if copy ofTitle or Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) is not yet available
- Commercial Space, Condominium Unit or Office Space measurements or plans if project is not a house / building
- Room requirements such as bedrooms, toilet and bath, family hall, entertainment room, gym etc.
- Construction Budget so we may tell you early on if the project is feasible or not
- Copy of Subdivision / Administration design restrictions (if needed)

Step 1.2: Floor and Space Planning

From the following design data, our team will be designing your project and will start with the floor and space plan
including furniture layout so you can better gauge the size of your rooms. Other designers do not include this
making their design inefficient (Do you sometimes wonder why electrical outlets are covered by the bed?). This will
take approximately 1 week to 3 weeks of back and forth submissions until the floor and space plan will be approved.
Probable construction costs will also be monitored as 1st design submissions may be within budget but succeeding
design submissions may exceed the construction budget as additions to the plan would naturally entail cost.Once
the floor and space plans are approved along with the probable construction estimate, 50% of the design fee is
requested as downpayment from the client.

Step 1.3: 3D Perspectives

When floor and space plan are approved as well as probable construction costs are within budget, 3D perspectives
will be designed by our team. We would need to know from you the preffered style you want whether modern,
contemporary, zen etc. A picture of a house / building you want would help us greatly in designing the 3D of your
project. You may google the desired style of your houseand select images. You may also check out our gallery of
projects (click here).Should you have no inclination, our team will give you several proposals until you decide and
approve. Thiswill approximately take 1 week to 3 weeks.

Step 1.4: Engineering Plans and Working Drawings

When Floor and Space Plan along with 3D perspectives are approved, we may then proceed withEngineering Plans
and Working Drawings. This may include Structural, Electrical, Plumbing and Mechanical Plans. This will
approximately take 1 week to 3 weeks.Please take note that we will be needing a Geotechnical Soil Test report (Costs
Php10,000 - PhP80,000) should your project consist of 3 floors and above. A roof deck made out of concrete will still
be considered a floor. The Geotechnical Soil Test Report is required in applying for Building Permit for 3 storey
structures and above. It will also be needed in designing the structural foundations of your structure as it will provide
us with the data of the soil your structure rests on such as soil bearing capacity, soil profiles etc. When Engineering
and Working Drawings are done and sent (softcopy) to the client, 25% of the design fee is requested as payment
prior to printing of plans.

Step 1.5: Printing of Plans and Technical Documents for Building Permit
When planning is done, all plans and technical documents needed are printed then signed and sealed by
corresponding professionals. This will approximately take 1 day to 3 days. Upon acceptance of Signed and Sealed
Plans and Technical documents bythe client, the last 25% of the design fee is requested as final payment for the
design.

You may also try planning your house below (using room planner) and we will check it for
compliance of current codes. We will then give you a rough cost estimate for free! (It will just take
you an hour or two to learn.)

Please do not forget the following (usual minimum requirements but depends on actual location):
1.) Minimum Front setback is atlest 3 meters (other high class subdivisions require 4 meters front setback)
2.) Minimum left, rear and right setback is 2 meters for ground floor and 1.5 meters for 2nd floor and above
3.) If minimum setback is not followed, it is still allowed as long as a firewall is built on that side on the property
line (still depends on the area as there are areas that do not allow firewalls or allows one firewall only)
4.) If left, rear and right sides are all firewalls, a 6 square meter airwell should be provided(still depends on the
area as there are areas that do not allow firewalls or allows one firewall only)
5.) Minimum size of bedrooms is 6 square meters
6.) Commercially available economic door sizes are 0.9 meters (usually front door), 0.8 meters (usually
bedrooms), 0.7 meters (usually bedrooms and toilet and baths) and 0.6 meters (usually toilet and baths)
7.) Also check for height restrictions in your area / subdivision. The floor to floor height is usually at 3 meters so
a height restriction of 9 meters would make a 4 storey building design non-compliant to the restriction.
8.) Reserve a 2 meters by 3 meters area for the staircase (including landing, 16 steps)
9.) Consult us for further questions.
