Things You Need to Know Before Building Your New Home
Before you break ground in Cagayan de Oro—or start building remotely as an OFW—make sure these essentials are clear:
✅ Your lot is ready
Verify the title, boundaries, access, drainage, utilities, slope, and subdivision restrictions.
✅ Your design matches your lifestyle
Plan for family routines, privacy, storage, work areas, future needs, and maintenance.
✅ Your budget includes the hidden costs
Allow for permits, professional fees, utility connections, site development, gates, appliances, and contingency.
✅ Your soil and site conditions are understood
A site assessment helps identify slope, drainage, foundation, and access requirements.
✅ Your plans are complete
Coordinate architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other required drawings through licensed professionals.
✅ Your BOQ is detailed
Know the materials, quantities, inclusions, exclusions, allowances, and payment milestones.
✅ Your permits are secured before construction
Confirm who will process the requirements and who will pay government fees.
✅ Your contractor agreement is clear
Review scope, specifications, schedule, billing, change orders, responsibilities, turnover, and warranty.
✅ Your timeline is realistic
Weather, material availability, site conditions, permits, and design changes can affect completion.
✅ Your quality checks are documented
Plan for progress updates, inspections, testing, punchlist, acceptance, turnover, and warranty support.
