Re: house renovation cost..

Good day, ask ko lang po kung magkano ang bayad sa isang civil engineer kung magpapa estimate sa cost ng pag renovate ng isang maliit na bahay..I just want to know lang po kasi yung total cost para mapag-ipunan ng pera bago magpagawa. maraming salamat po at Godbless..

Just to cost-estimate a design?
Direct cost, puede mong ipa-estimate kahit sa architectural or CE student with a copy of Max Fajardo,
a calculator, and some free time. Basta you have a clear idea already of the finished work. If you get
a licensed professional to do it, well ... I'm not a CE but I'd probably charge .5 to 1% of project cost,
to prepare a detailed cost/time estimate.

If you go with a rough (shell) estimate by a student...
You will have to plug in specialty treatments (tile finishes and stuff), kasi you will have a better idea of
what the materials will be, and can get the vendors to provide sub-estimates. Take the total and add
10% for unanticipated miscellany. Count on 40-70% patong ng contractor who will execute renovation,
which, if the contractor is good, is worth every peso: you can easily exceed 100% in excess cost if you
don't have the experience, efficiency and vendor-contacts of a real contractor.

JME, YMMV.

Re: house renovation cost..

Cost will depend according to your project... If you want to renovate just a single floor then the cost is less, If you want to renovate 2 floors then the cost will increase and if you want to renovate your complete house then it will cost more...
