We dream to have our own house but we did not know how to start and what are the steps and procedures to do. Of course, you have to own a lot before construction a house. Finalized your budget and knows what designs and what type of house do you like whether a bungalow type or two-storey house. Are you planning to avail loan either from bank, lending institution or Pag-ibig?
If you know the type of house as well as the floor plan you want, you can talk to the architect or draftsman to draw your house and do the perspective of your house.
Steps:
1. Secure a house plan to be used by your supplier and contractor in order to construct your house.
2. Go to your municipal office to apply for building permit. Building permit is one of the requirement for the building a house. This document is a formal approval by the government as meeting the prescribed codes. It serves as an authorization to proceed with the construction of a specific structure at a particular site in accordance to approved drawings and specifications.
3. Look for the contractor or skilled workers who will make your house. Make sure that you will pick the best contractor with low cost estimate but quality work. If you do not have a contractor, you can hired skilled worker such as mason and carpenter to do you house. Also, hire a person who will supervise your house and this person should be knowledgeable in civil works.
4. Before signing a contractor agreement, make sure that the materials and labor specification are elaborated clearly. You can consult the contractor agreement to the person who is knowledge in term of civil works.
5. Make sure to visit your house very often to see if the contractor follows the house plan as well as the materials and specification in the contractor’s agreement. If you have extra budget, you can hire consultant for your house.
I hadn’t thought about how much planning would need to go into building a house even before you get into the construction. I think it makes a lot of sense to find someone who is knowledgeable in civil works for things like a contractor or expert. I think all of this is fantastic information, and following up is obviously a smart idea too. Thanks for sharing!
