When planning a construction project, it’s important to understand where your budget goes. Here’s a typical cost distribution:

📌 Materials (55–60%) – The bulk of the budget goes to essential building materials such as cement, steel, blocks, wood, and finishing items.

📌 Labour (25–30%) – Wages and benefits for skilled and unskilled workers who bring the project to life.

📌 Professional Fees (5–10%) – Payments to architects, engineers, consultants, and other experts who design and supervise the project.

📌 Contractor’s Profit (15–25%) – The contractor’s margin for managing and executing the work effectively.

📌 Safety (3–5%) – Investment in protective equipment, training, and compliance with safety standards.

📌 Permits & Legal (2–5%) – Costs for permits, licenses, and regulatory approvals to keep the project compliant.

📌 Contingency (5–10%) – A buffer fund for unexpected expenses like price increases or design changes.

📌 Lump Sum (2%) – Fixed costs that don’t fall under the categories above.

Ilang ORAS ang kailangan para makagawa ng isang kumpletong Design Plans ng 2 storey na bahay?

Alam nyo ba na ang mga blueprints na nakikita ninyo ngayon ay ginugulan namin ng 480 hours para sa architectural plans alone? Kasama na dito ang initial sketches, meetings with the client for approval, balik sa drawing board to incorporate the needed adjustments based sa comments ni owner, specifications, Bill of Materials, encode sa computer then adjustments sa rendering ng perspectives then final approval ng architectural.

Bukod diyan, ang mga engineers naman ay gumugol ng 230 hours para mabuo ang kanilang scope sa utilities and structural design. Ibig sabihin, mga 700plus hours ang kinailangan at hindi pa kasama dito kung ilang personnel ang kumilos para mabuo ang blueprints na ito. Pero para simple lang let us say ang bawat oras ay itutumbas natin sa average na minimum sahod ng isang tao ngayon say 80 pesos, lalabas na nasa 56k pesos KUNG ISANG TAO LANG ang nagtrabaho para dito SA MINIMUM WAGE RATE. Pero nagbayad kami sa draftsman, sa liaison officer, sa messenger, at KAMI mismo na MGA PROFESSIONALS.

Bukod pa diyan ang binayad namin sa office supplies, sa utilities, sa printing, sa communications, office and legworks. Mahaba pa ang listahan.

Ang nakikita ninyo ay blueprint lang. PERO HINDI BLUEPRINTS LANG ang binabayaran ninyo sa pagpapagawa ng DESIGN sa Professionals.
