Hi Nelson! Good morning! 😊 Sa question niyo po ba, did you mean, if we were able to deliver a quality build or in general lang for everyone to learn from? Kung ang question niyo ay sa pag-build namin, I hope you don't mind if I answer in DETAIL 😊. We have these safeguards: 1) BUILDER - Albert Francisco is a licensed civil engineer who has worked in construction since 2007 as a site engineer in the Philippines (2 years noon + 3 years ngayon), Saudi Arabia (4 years), Abu Dhabi and Dubai (almost 8 years; 4 yrs dito ay QAQC Engr). He worked as a Senior Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Engr in Abu Dhabi and Dubai both sa Contractor side and Consultant side. He has a reputation and a licence to protect since every project has a structural warranty of 15 years as per Philippine laws. He is a conscientious builder, never compromises on quality, and always finds solutions to problems -- even our clients attest to this. 2) BUILDING PERMIT and OCCUPANCY PERMIT - We follow local laws and apply for a Building Permit complete with the Contract Documents or Design Drawings, Detailed Estimate or BOQ, Technical Description, Structural Analysis and so on. So everything is documented in the Technical Description, including the materials we will use. We also secure an Occupancy Permit wherein the City Building Officials and Engrs inspect the site after project completion to check if we followed the Design Drawings and Technical Description, as per the approved Building Permit. We never take on projects without these. 3) PROCUREMENT - We exercise due diligence when procuring materials and only buy items that we know are of quality, and within the budget of the Client as indicated in the Bill of Quantities (Detailed Estimate) unless nalang na mababa talaga ang budget ng client. Kung ano ang pasok sa budget, yun ang binibili namin at well explained ito lahat sa client. We also offer a Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 1 year upon turnover to ensure that if there are defects in our build, we repair or replace them at no added cost to the client. Turnover Analysis - If we find that one item is not the best to use in a project, we always replace it with better options in our next build. So, from blue pipes for the water line, we have set standards of using only PPR Pipes, minimum .5mm roof thickness, standard RSB lang ang gamit, Yale door knobs, etc, and these are non-negotiable. If the client disapproves, we respectfully decline the project. We also take videos and pictures of the items we procure, most times kapag may price tag, pati yun kasama, for the clients to see. We are very transparent in terms of procurement. 3) REGULAR SITE INSPECTIONS - Abet inspects the site daily, depende sa site, if finishing stage na, minsan more than 1x a day. Kapag may OT, nag-iinspect din. Our Foreman is a seasoned builder and a good leader. So asset siya but hindi nagrerely si Abet na siya lang sa site. Complete instructions po yan every time. Maraming beses na na kapag may mali, binabaklas po talaga yan kahit gaano pa kalaking lugi. 😅 Hindi maiiwasan magkamali ang tao, pero hindi naman namin pababayaan yun since may DLP. 4) REGULAR UPDATING OF CLIENTS + SITE VISIT We document the build every step of the way. We also send regular video updates to our clients, showing them everything that is happening on site. I even include the materials we use. Our clients or their representatives are also regular visitors of our site. In the case of this build, our clients' parents worked as contractors before. So they knew a great deal about construction, and they regularly visited the site during the build. Malapit lang sila nakatira doon. WE HAVE A BOSS ABOVE - We believe that we are accountable to God for every project we build. Kahit malugi kami sa project, tapat lahat ang bilang ng materyales at paggawa. We believe that He is watching us as we build and we would like to give our best. We treat each project as if it is our own. * Kung ang tanong niyo naman ay in general, pwede niyo na rin i-base ang answer sa mga binigay ko na sagot sa taas. You can ensure the build quality by: Hiring licensed professionals with good track record, making sure they applied for a Building and Occupancy Permit, havinv a contract and a detailed estimate for everything, ensuring procurement is done right, and conducting site visits so you see for yourself if the build is of good quality. Pasensya na po mahaba. Hopefully, nasagot ko po ang inyong katanungan 🙏🙏🙏 . Thanks for watching! 😊
Hello po Mam & sir ! Matagal ko na po kayo napapanood very inspiring po ang mga contents nyo. Dito lang din po ako sa Palawan . Kung pwede po sana ng nalaman ang contact no. Nyo po thank you po god bless
Hindi to against kahit kanino, mga kapwa ko ofw, mag ingat, wag basta magtiwala, sigiraduhin nyo. Muna lahat bago kayo maglabas ng pera, mag imbistiga muna
Nangyari sa akin. Sobrang taas ng estimate at contract din yung sa akin. Laking kinita ng Architect. Kay dapat double check at wag magpagawa kung di mo nakikita.
4 Million lang? Napaka mura naman for a 5 bed room apartment tapos isang bed pa for airbnb. Super ganda ng contractor. Maganda din pagka gawa base sa video. If may 4 Million lang ako ganito gagawin ko eh
Mahal nga eh. Building lang yun 6 bedroom. No lot. Sa calabarzon may house and lot na bare unit for less than 1m. Raw house or loft type. Sakto lang yan sa palawan kasi.
in addition sa mga na mentioned sa video, i would suggest to mention na dapat merong architect or engineer as representative sa client side to monitor and double check the progress of the project during construction phase.
Excellent presentation of the completed project. Clear and in depth explanation and very sensible suggestions. Masuwerte ang mga tao na nakakatrabaho ninyo dahil transparent kayo at straightforward ang mga advice ninyo. Wishing you continued success!
Great JOB 👏 👏 I missed those days when I was still a contractor, realtor & developer, during my young age living there in the Philippines 🇵🇭.. Now retired and living here in USA 🇺🇸 happy with digital lifestyle… Keep up the great works 🎉
Salamat po salamat po! Although we always tell clients not to trust us just because we put out content. We always tell them to check our credentials, track record and client reviews as well. That's the most important thing. Salamuch ulit sa panonood! :)
We are pleased to see your planning, hard work and financial efforts culminated in to a successful project result. Your faithfulness and devotion to our Lord and Savior has been at the root of your accomplishments, and that is a pleasure to witness through your channel. We pray that Christ will continue to teach and guide you as you honor his loving grace. We hope that one day when we visit Palawan we can take you both to dinner, attend your church and break bread with you. May you always feel the love and closeness the King of Kings and Lord of Lords affords us. If you don't mind us asking, what was the cost of the 150 m2 land property? We would like to factor that cost in to the total project construction. Thank you kindly, in advance. Remain safe and be well. God bless.

Not related to your video but just wanted to say that when I visited Palawan a few years ago, I noticed that it was still common for parents to send off their elem age kids to school via tricycles, leave them to the driver’s care, and the driver wouldn’t mind at all. I liked that a lot.
Yes it is a common practice indeed but this is only possible because the community is close-knit and everyone knows everyone so we can assume that not only the driver but also other adults will keep a watchful eye for the kids 😊. I can still remember our tricycle driver when I was kid, his name was Kuya Blessy and he gave me candy sometimes.
Thank you for being very honest on pricing and giving good advices. Do you provide your services outside Palawan like areas of Cavite and Binan Laguna?
From acquiring the land to the actual build (finishing the project), how much the total cost? And how long was the build took place, considering climate, including rainy seasons? Thanks!
Hi Ben! We're not sure when tbe client acquired the land. My husband bought a piece of land in the same barangay for 400k for a 450 sqm lot, but that was years ago. The current going rate for the land is 700-800k to 1M for prime lots in the area. Total Construction Cost is detailed in the video. The build started on March 1, 2022 and was turned over on October 6, 2022 (7 months, including bad weather etc).
Hello po ate. Can your husband talk about the roofing system of next episode? I'm trying to figure out what is the best approach po and the best materials to use. I'm a recent CE graduate and would love to invest in an apartment for my parents in the next 5 years.
Maraming salamat sa very detailed video ninyo at dahil sa inyo, na inspire din akong magpagawa ng apartment sa amin. Nasa 4th month na po kami sa project namin, and looking forward na matapos na rin kami at makita namin ang pinaghirapan namin. Salamat uli.
Pwede po ba malaman kung magkano ang bayad sa contractors? Including all the workers? I think malaking factor din yun sa budget.. Sana mapansin tong question ko.. kac we’re planning to build a boarding house sana..❤😊
Hi Maya! We answered your question in our latest video below! Please go to 09:41. May timestamps din ang ibang questions to guide you, baka naitanong mo rin. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/6A1DqgGXE4M/w-d-xo.html
@@PausePraySimplify thank you po for taking time to answer our questions.. just watched it.. Sana makahanap kami ng contractor na gaya ninyo, very gracious towards their clients.. more power to u and ur husband..
I’m not from Palawan but I’m interested to invest on a property if there’s an good opportunity in Palawan. Can you make a video on how much is a rental opportunity can you earn from a 1 Bd vs short term lease in the area?
Good job guys, the build looks great! Did I miss the rent price per unit? I saw in the comments someone mentioned 5k? I hope the owners will be able to at least get 1% rents of the overall investment to include lot costs. I really like what you guys are doing though. Too bad we are looking to invest in central visayas or we could do business with you. Keep grinding, so happy for you both. Amping, Jake
Hi Amping, Jake. Thanks for watching! Honestly, we never mentioned the rental rate. That's up to the owner. So I'm confused where this 1% is coming from. What we mentioned was, all the 5 units were rented out (within 1 week of turnover). The Owners reserved 1 unit for short-term stay (airbnb), which would yield them higher income as Puerto Princesa is a tourist destination and there's demand for it in the city. If they get minimum 15-day booking per month for short stay, this and the total rent should give them more than 1% monthly. Definitely, rent is not 5k. So I don't know where that person got it from. 😅 EDIT: Removed my other comment here. For OFWs (Filipinos based abroad), we advocate that the easiest option for them to earn (less effort, more secure, lower risk than other investment options + they have a place to stay when they or their friends are here on vacay) is through rentals. I'll do a separate video on ROI later once I have data. So it all depends really on the purpose of their investment. They want to earn money during retirement years while doing other things they love. They want an investment that can last for decades, without threats of typhoons or pests wiping out their investment should they strike. Their lot is not fit for a farmland and also, they have no interest in farming. Hope this helps! I typed everything here so that other people reading the comments can have an idea. Thanks for the well wishes! Hope you find a good deal in Central Visayas! Dumaguete is my fave! 😊
@@PausePraySimplify haha you made me laugh on your greeting back. Sorry, amping is same as ingat but in bisaya Lang lol. I understand limited Tagalog and I didn’t think you mentioned rents so was confused about that cementer but also have nosebleed trying to watch you guys bc I am too puti and only good with taglish. The 1% rule is a US investor quick reference for if an investment is worth investing in. It may not work in every country so I apologize. But basically if you know the rents are say 10k per door in your area and you have say 6 doors as your example then you know you shouldn’t pay more than 6m for the whole project. If it meets 1% then it passes the first test to look further at what the actual ROI is based on taxes, cap ex, unforeseen future vacancies etc. I’m sure your area commands rents that will far exceed the 1% rule for what you just charged on this property. Thank you so much for your response and your channel is going to do great I know it. I can see the two of you have a passion and you are sharing and helping others with that passion ❤️. And love your #Duma comment. We are actually planning to visit Dumaguete and Valencia (just up the hill) on our next vacation to scope out a primary residence spot in Valencia and investments in Duma 🤙🏻. God bless and Ingat/amping po! Jake
Oh amping means ingat!😂 haha my bad! Sorry sorry. I didn't know. I know a bit of bisaya.. but this one's a miss for me. Oh okies, noted on the 1% rule. Had to Google it as well. For someone who's advising people to invest in real estate, I should have known that. ✌ Peace peace guys. Will research more on this. Not too sure if it applies here in the province/with the current inflation rate. Will check though. And yes, will definitely check with the clients how they're doing after some time so I'd know too. Apologies for the Tagalog. I used to put subtitles in English but I don't have time anymore. Still, I'm sure you understood most of it. Thanks again! Hope all would go well with your visit! Tc!!!
Hello po, I've been following you for a while na po before pa po ako mag decide na mag purchase ng lot sa Palawan. Hinuhulugan parin po namin sya ni hubby but the turn over will be in 2025. Sana po kayo yung makagawa ng apartment namin 💕 God bless you po 😊 nag eenjoy po ako na panoorin yung pag may breaks ng ppray. Praise God! 😊💕
Mukhang mabait naman si Contactor. Medyo kapani.paniwala naman mga sinasabi. Marami lang talagang contractor na mapagsamantala, sila pa dahilan na stress yung client. Per my experience hahaha. Buti may time.pa para na review ang contract at daming onerous terms sa contract kaya tinapos ko na sila. Umpisa pa lang sa building permit processing sobrang mahal na. Nagtiwala agad kasi nasa City hall siya at mismong pumipirma ng permit. Salamat na lang Engr.
Nakakainspire naman po. 😍😍 As an OFW, ito talaga ang dream kong business. Pag-iipunan ko po ito ng mabuti pra sa future ng baby ko. ❤️ I hope to work with you dn po in the future.
Nice video.. well detailed ang information Lalo na sa cost of construction... Ang kulang lng yun info how to avail ang services.. where to reach them aside sa Yt channel .
Hi Rechie! Unfortunately, oo nga nangyayari nga na may mangilan-ngilan na may bad rep na on this. That's why as clients it is their right and duty to do due diligence. We already have a video on this sa part na 21:24 th-cam.com/video/6A1DqgGXE4M/w-d-xo.html Hope makatulong! 🙏

Hi again… Janice and engr. abet …. thanks so much for sharing your journey in apartment project, you really inspired me n mag karoon rin ng rental property, very clear ang explaination nyo , to be honest? paulit-ulit ko pinapanood mga vlogs nyo, s ngaun nsa Australia ako nka base, but soon plano ko n mag early retire s Phils. me lupa n ako nabili.. nsa 350sqm. at tulad ng sabi nyo, di kyo nag accept ng proj.outside Palawan, nsa Gensan un lupa ko … ganun p man.. you really inspired me to pursue my dreams to have rental property, Thanks again for inspiring me.. love you both❤ and more projects for you guys …. God bless🙏
Thank you thank you po. I'm glad may lupa na po kayo and may plans na kayo for your apartment. I hope makahanap po kayo ng maayos na contractor for your project.

Very informative and inspiring para sa katulad kong small contractor na nag sisimula palang here in bicol.sana balang araw makakuha rin ako ng project para magamit ko naman mga natutunan ko.graduate po ako ng civil engineering at mag eexam po ako this coming November at may experience din po ako sa construction kase po nag working student ako.sana po mabigyan rin ako ng pagkakataon🙂.
Go lang bro! Lahat naman tayo nag-uumpisa sa maliliit na projects. Mas maganda mahasa sa maliliit muna para habang lumalaki, dumarami rin experience mo. Mas hindi nakakaoverwhelm. Basta ginagawa natin lagi ang best para sa client, for sure babalik yan sayo in so many ways. Kahit di malaki kita agad, basta tuloy-tuloy at tatiyagain mo lang, for sure you'll be able to do it kasi nagworking student ka, nasa dugo mo na ang pagiging masikap 💪. God bless your exam sa November, Future Engr!🙏
Paano ma ensure na nasunod ang quality?
Hi Nelson! Good morning! 😊 Sa question niyo po ba, did you mean, if we were able to deliver a quality build or in general lang for everyone to learn from?

From acquiring the land to the actual build (finishing the project), how much the total cost? And how long was the build took place, considering climate, including rainy seasons? Thanks!
Hi Ben! We're not sure when tbe client acquired the land. My husband bought a piece of land in the same barangay for 400k for a 450 sqm lot, but that was years ago. The current going rate for the land is 700-800k to 1M for prime lots in the area.
Total Construction Cost is detailed in the video.
The build started on March 1, 2022 and was turned over on October 6, 2022 (7 months, including bad weather etc).
Hopefully someday matupad rin ang dream kong 6doors..in God's will!
Hello po ate. Can your husband talk about the roofing system of next episode? I'm trying to figure out what is the best approach po and the best materials to use. I'm a recent CE graduate and would love to invest in an apartment for my parents in the next 5 years.
I noticed the design you have is a shed type
Maraming salamat sa very detailed video ninyo at dahil sa inyo, na inspire din akong magpagawa ng apartment sa amin. Nasa 4th month na po kami sa project namin, and looking forward na matapos na rin kami at makita namin ang pinaghirapan namin. Salamat uli.
Pwede po ba malaman kung magkano ang bayad sa contractors? Including all the workers? I think malaking factor din yun sa budget.. Sana mapansin tong question ko.. kac we’re planning to build a boarding house sana..❤😊
kasama na daw po yan sa contract work 4m+

True true! Thanks, Earl!
@@PausePraySimplify thank you po for taking time to answer our questions.. just watched it.. Sana makahanap kami ng contractor na gaya ninyo, very gracious towards their clients.. more power to u and ur husband..
"Ngayon, para mabigyan namin kayo ng IDEA..."- I simply love it (those words). New subscriber here. Good job! Continue your advocacy and God bless.
I’m not from Palawan but I’m interested to invest on a property if there’s an good opportunity in Palawan. Can you make a video on how much is a rental opportunity can you earn from a 1 Bd vs short term lease in the area?
Mga around 5 to 7k yang mga ganyan sa Puerto
Eto yung content creator na maganda I-hire personally.
Good job guys, the build looks great! Did I miss the rent price per unit? I saw in the comments someone mentioned 5k? I hope the owners will be able to at least get 1% rents of the overall investment to include lot costs.
I really like what you guys are doing though. Too bad we are looking to invest in central visayas or we could do business with you. Keep grinding, so happy for you both. Amping, Jake
Hi Amping, Jake. Thanks for watching! Honestly, we never mentioned the rental rate. That's up to the owner. So I'm confused where this 1% is coming from. What we mentioned was, all the 5 units were rented out (within 1 week of turnover). The Owners reserved 1 unit for short-term stay (airbnb), which would yield them higher income as Puerto Princesa is a tourist destination and there's demand for it in the city. If they get minimum 15-day booking per month for short stay, this and the total rent should give them more than 1% monthly.
Definitely, rent is not 5k. So I don't know where that person got it from. 😅 EDIT: Removed my other comment here.
For OFWs (Filipinos based abroad), we advocate that the easiest option for them to earn (less effort, more secure, lower risk than other investment options + they have a place to stay when they or their friends are here on vacay) is through rentals. I'll do a separate video on ROI later once I have data. So it all depends really on the purpose of their investment. They want to earn money during retirement years while doing other things they love. They want an investment that can last for decades, without threats of typhoons or pests wiping out their investment should they strike. Their lot is not fit for a farmland and also, they have no interest in farming.
Hope this helps! I typed everything here so that other people reading the comments can have an idea.
Thanks for the well wishes! Hope you find a good deal in Central Visayas! Dumaguete is my fave! 😊
@@PausePraySimplify haha you made me laugh on your greeting back. Sorry, amping is same as ingat but in bisaya Lang lol.
I understand limited Tagalog and I didn’t think you mentioned rents so was confused about that cementer but also have nosebleed trying to watch you guys bc I am too puti and only good with taglish.
The 1% rule is a US investor quick reference for if an investment is worth investing in. It may not work in every country so I apologize. But basically if you know the rents are say 10k per door in your area and you have say 6 doors as your example then you know you shouldn’t pay more than 6m for the whole project. If it meets 1% then it passes the first test to look further at what the actual ROI is based on taxes, cap ex, unforeseen future vacancies etc. I’m sure your area commands rents that will far exceed the 1% rule for what you just charged on this property.
Thank you so much for your response and your channel is going to do great I know it. I can see the two of you have a passion and you are sharing and helping others with that passion ❤️. And love your #Duma comment. We are actually planning to visit Dumaguete and Valencia (just up the hill) on our next vacation to scope out a primary residence spot in Valencia and investments in Duma 🤙🏻.
God bless and Ingat/amping po! Jake
Oh amping means ingat!😂 haha my bad! Sorry sorry. I didn't know. I know a bit of bisaya.. but this one's a miss for me.
Oh okies, noted on the 1% rule. Had to Google it as well. For someone who's advising people to invest in real estate, I should have known that. ✌ Peace peace guys. Will research more on this. Not too sure if it applies here in the province/with the current inflation rate. Will check though.
And yes, will definitely check with the clients how they're doing after some time so I'd know too.
Apologies for the Tagalog. I used to put subtitles in English but I don't have time anymore. Still, I'm sure you understood most of it.
Thanks again! Hope all would go well with your visit! Tc!!!
@@PausePraySimplify ❤️
Hello po, I've been following you for a while na po before pa po ako mag decide na mag purchase ng lot sa Palawan. Hinuhulugan parin po namin sya ni hubby but the turn over will be in 2025. Sana po kayo yung makagawa ng apartment namin 💕 God bless you po 😊 nag eenjoy po ako na panoorin yung pag may breaks ng ppray. Praise God! 😊💕
bihira akong mag like. very informative, straight to the point.
ampogi ni engineer haha! crush ko sya. Pinoy na Pinoy, ang lakas ng dating 😍😘❤
Mukhang mabait naman si Contactor. Medyo kapani.paniwala naman mga sinasabi. Marami lang talagang contractor na mapagsamantala, sila pa dahilan na stress yung client. Per my experience hahaha. Buti may time.pa para na review ang contract at daming onerous terms sa contract kaya tinapos ko na sila. Umpisa pa lang sa building permit processing sobrang mahal na. Nagtiwala agad kasi nasa City hall siya at mismong pumipirma ng permit. Salamat na lang Engr.
Sulit yung 4M… inexpect ko aabot ng 10M.. Galing! Sana one day makapag pagawa din ako sa inyo ng apartment project.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nakakainspire naman po. 😍😍 As an OFW, ito talaga ang dream kong business. Pag-iipunan ko po ito ng mabuti pra sa future ng baby ko. ❤️ I hope to work with you dn po in the future.
Your so honest sa pgsagot... layo nmin pwede sana kyo mgtayo ng boarding house nmin
Ang galing! Maganda talaga pag may contractor iwas stress at sakit sa ulo.
wow !! Congrats Albert and Janice. Hope to see that project pag nag visit ulit ako sa Palawan . Melvin
Nice video.. well detailed ang information
Lalo na sa cost of construction... Ang kulang lng yun info how to avail ang services.. where to reach them aside sa Yt channel .
mukhang honest at maayos po kayong contractor, sana madali makahanap ng maayos na contractor.
Hi Rechie! Unfortunately, oo nga nangyayari nga na may mangilan-ngilan na may bad rep na on this. That's why as clients it is their right and duty to do due diligence. We already have a video on this sa part na 21:24
th-cam.com/video/6A1DqgGXE4M/w-d-xo.html
Hope makatulong! 🙏

Salamuch salamuch, Bek! God bless you too! 🤗
Very informative and inspiring para sa katulad kong small contractor na nag sisimula palang here in bicol.sana balang araw makakuha rin ako ng project para magamit ko naman mga natutunan ko.graduate po ako ng civil engineering at mag eexam po ako this coming November at may experience din po ako sa construction kase po nag working student ako.sana po mabigyan rin ako ng pagkakataon🙂.
Go lang bro! Lahat naman tayo nag-uumpisa sa maliliit na projects. Mas maganda mahasa sa maliliit muna para habang lumalaki, dumarami rin experience mo. Mas hindi nakakaoverwhelm. Basta ginagawa natin lagi ang best para sa client, for sure babalik yan sayo in so many ways. Kahit di malaki kita agad, basta tuloy-tuloy at tatiyagain mo lang, for sure you'll be able to do it kasi nagworking student ka, nasa dugo mo na ang pagiging masikap 💪.
God bless your exam sa November, Future Engr!🙏
Salamat po ma'am.sana po wag kayong magsawang gumawa ng content.God bless po sa inyo ni Engr.Abet🙂
Informative video.. just curious how much ung rental each door? Thank u
