CDO 2026 construction cost (BASIC • STANDARD • PREMIUM)

Planning ranges (construction only):

Tier	CDO 2026 budget range (₱/sqm)	What it usually means
BASIC	₱25,000–₱30,000	Clean, durable essentials; standard materials/fixtures
STANDARD	₱30,000–₱40,000	Better tiles/fixtures, nicer look, more detail work
PREMIUM	₱35,000–₱60,000+	High-end finishes/custom details; widest variance

These ranges are anchored on recent CDO contractor guidance (e.g., basic ₱25–28k, mid ₱29–33k, high-end ₱34–40k+)  and PH-wide high-end finish bands that often land ₱40–60k/sqm when you go premium/luxury selections.

• furniture/appliances—often outside the “per sqm construction” quote unless stated.

If you tell me floor area + number of storeys + target tier, I’ll compute a one-line budget + contingency that’s tight enough to use for quoting.

How much will it cost all-in to build a house?

If you only budget for “construction,” you’re setting yourself up for the most painful surprise: the real bill shows up in the extras—permits, siteworks, utility connections, and furniture you need just to live.

Here’s the all-in cost formula smart homeowners use:

All-In = Construction + Permits/Design Fees + Siteworks + Utilities + Furniture/Appliances + Contingency

What usually gets missed:

• Permits & professional plans (processing + signed/sealed requirements)

• Siteworks (excavation, backfill, drainage, hauling—this can swing big)

• Utilities (power/water connection, rough-ins, upgrades, internet conduits)

• Furniture & essentials (beds, cabinets, curtains, lighting fixtures, appliances)

The solution: stop guessing. Lock floor area + finish tier, then request a BOQ with written inclusions/exclusions. Add a 10–15% contingency so “unexpected” doesn’t break you.

Budget Blowout Prevention (BOQ + Scope + Milestones)

Budget Build Rule: If It’s Not Written, It Will Cost You Later

 Most “overbudget” builds aren’t caused by bad luck. They’re caused by unclear scope. If scope is fuzzy, cost becomes elastic.

Do this first: lock floor area. Don’t “add a meter” repeatedly. That’s how budgets die slowly.

Next: demand a BOQ by phase. Even a basic BOQ forces clarity: foundation, structure, roof, walls, MEP, finishes, external works.

Then: confirm inclusions/exclusions in writing. This is where surprise costs hide: hauling, temporary power/water, septic, permits, gate, landscaping.

Now the real weapon: a written variation order process. No verbal changes. Every change must show: added cost + added days before approval.

Finally: pay by milestones, not dates. Your payment schedule should match completed work. If work isn’t complete, payment doesn’t move. This single rule keeps projects honest and predictable.
