If you’ve been thinking about building a house in the Philippines, this video could save you a lot of time money and frustration when trying to figure out the somewhat complicated process.
I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know about how to find the right architect, the different roles an architect and contractor play, which permits you will need and the best ways to obtain them and the three different paths you could choose when building your home, as well as the pros and cons for each method.
Building in the Philippines is a completely different process compared to other countries, with unique challenges like securing permits, understanding the roles of architects and contractors, and navigating local building practices.
I'll share the lessons we have learned eight weeks into building our home—from choosing the right architect to handling permits and managing construction.
At the end I will share this weeks progress including a solar installation, outdoor kitchen construction, roof lining and more.
Whether you’re a local or a foreigner, this guide offers actionable tips to help you make informed decisions and create a smoother building journey. Don’t start building without watching this!
