Rough Estimate Based on New Proposed Design

To meet the PHP 1,600,000 target budget, we have optimized the design and construction process using lightweight materials and cost-saving strategies while maintaining safety and quality. Below is the breakdown:

1. Foundation Works

• Optimized foundation design using lightweight concrete.
• Streamlined excavation and reduced material usage.
  Cost: PHP 250,000

2. Columns and Beams

• Precast concrete beams and smaller column sections using high-strength lightweight concrete.
  Cost: PHP 200,000

3. Second-Floor Slab

• Use of precast or lightweight concrete slabs to reduce weight and reinforcement requirements.
  Cost: PHP 400,000

4. Structural Steel

• Lightweight steel frames for reinforcement, optimized for reduced material cost.
  Cost: PHP 150,000

5. Roofing System

• Lightweight metal roofing or polycarbonate sheets with a simplified truss design.
  Cost: PHP 120,000

6. Demolition Work

• Efficient demolition with an emphasis on salvaging reusable materials.
  Cost: PHP 50,000

7. Interior and Exterior Finishes

• Cost-effective materials such as lightweight wall panels, PVC ceilings, and vinyl flooring.
• Prefabricated doors and windows to reduce labor and material costs.
  Cost: PHP 200,000

8. Plumbing and Electrical Works

• Simple and efficient layouts using modular components and lightweight PPR pipes.
  Cost: PHP 150,000

9. Permits and Documentation

• Building and demolition permits, as well as necessary design documentation fees.
  Cost: PHP 50,000

10. Miscellaneous and Contingency

• Allowance for unforeseen expenses during construction.
  Cost: PHP 30,000

Rough Estimated Cost:

PHP 1,600,000

Key Adjustments for Budget Alignment:

1. Use of Lightweight Materials:

• Reduces overall structural load and material costs.

2. Pre-Fabrication:

• Faster construction time and reduced labor expenses.

3. Optimized Layout:

• Simplified plumbing, electrical, and roofing systems to minimize waste.

4. Recycled Materials:

• Salvaging reusable items during demolition to offset costs.
