Sound familiar?

Building a house shouldn't feel like guessing.

Most of the stress in a build starts before the first shovel moves: with plans that are vague, fees that keep changing, and nobody checking the work.

01

“I don't know where to start.”

Lot title, permits, engineers, contractors. We start with one meeting and a clear list of what to bring.

02

“The quote keeps changing.”

Open-ended design fees make budgeting impossible. Our plans are a fixed fee, published upfront.

03

“My permit might get delayed.”

Incomplete drawings slow everything down. You get signed and sealed plans and specifications prepared for the building permit.

04

“The contractor will just wing it.”

Vague plans leave room for costly guesswork. Our structural, electrical and plumbing plans are prepared alongside the design.

05

“I can't picture the final house.”

Hard to approve what you can't see. You see the layout in 2D and 3D early, before anything is detailed.

06

“No one checks the work on site.”

Mistakes get buried in concrete. As architect-on-record, we inspect and keep construction on plan.

Plans you can build from, and an architect who stays for the build.

Questions

Before you book

What happens in the consultation?

We talk through your lot, your rooms and your budget. We'll recommend the service that fits and explain what happens next.

What's the difference between the ₱30,000 and ₱80,000 packages?

The ₱30,000 package covers the architectural plans and specification. The ₱80,000 package adds the engineering: structural, electrical and plumbing plans, plus the bill of quantity and bill of materials.

Are the plans enough for my building permit?

Our design packages are prepared for your building permit, with plans printed, signed and sealed. Soil testing, if the Office of the Building Official requires it, is shouldered by the client.

How many revisions do I get?

Each package includes a maximum of two revisions.

Do you handle buildings taller than two storeys?

The published packages cover buildings up to two storeys. Ask us during your consultation about anything larger.

Can you supervise construction?

Yes. With the architect-on-record service (₱1,800 per sqm of total gross floor area), we inspect the site periodically, review submittals and see the project through to final turnover. Site visits are ₱3,500 per visit.
