- Janet invited me to her friend's house so I could meet the children. While we were there she showed me the houses under construction in the same neighborhood. I previously showed you Merz's house and the wonderful job their builder did on their custom home. There was a lot of interest in her videos of new home construction. The tilt wall new home construction is another way the Philippine home builders build homes here in the Philippines.
i am now watching all your vids, i married a filipina 12 years and she is now a american citizen .. miss the philippines very much , i enjoy your vids very much..
Another mind bending video of how things are done in the Philippines. Very interesting...thanks for sharing.
Hi Mike thank you for this video it was a real eye opener when building you do really need to take an interest in it's construction, it may look very nice when finished however I personally would not like to think what it may look like after a typhoon has gone over, much appreciated for you sharing your great videos
thanks mike keep up the good .enjoy your videos so
Thanks Philippine dream for you reply on this issues. I know for sure that you have the knowledge and know how that pertains to construction.
***** Your'e right Philippine Dreams is in Dumaguete, while you are ILOILO base. Sorry I get confused.
thanks for the upload
Thanks for the video Mike ☺
Awesome video, its nice that we get to see how SOME of the mass produced homes are built.
BTW, I have land in Leganes.
I miss P.I. and wish to visit and or mover there permanently soon.
Good video mike, they do build differently there. looking forward to more of you journey videos. Try to stay dry my friend .
This concrete tilt up constructions being built in ILOILO are quite dangerous. The way these concrete slabs are joined together were welding rebars sticking out to hold the structure together. As you see the rebars are rusted welding rusted rebar together will not remove rust on the rebars, covering it with mortar to conceal the rusting rebars, the rust inside the the concrete structure will continue the rust progress unless otherwise it is sandblasted, cleaned and applied with read lead paint to stop the corrosion in the rebars that hold the structures. Over a period of time as corrosion progress inside, it will weaken the rebars and will lost it's strength and give up the load it was designed for. Then, slight earthquake comes it will just collapsed, just like the saying the only thing that holds the house together were termites holding hands together to make the house stay together.
nice video some houses needs much plastering thats my job in my country i renovate houses with plaster or cement. i forget Always when im in philippines to see how they renovate or build houses if they use same products as us.thanks for sharing.tc always
That was an interesting video Mike. I've seen slab panel construction but never like that.
tilt wall construction is an excellent method..
Great to have another tour of home construction and views of the finished product. Sorry to say, I would not purchase one of these either. These designs must pass some type of local code right? It makes your friend Merz's home even more impressive now. It will be nice to see her again and her family after so long. Janet has a bright smile. I don't recall her in your earlier travels. I hope the rainy season does not hinder your daily adventures. Thanks for posting!.
***** You are very respectful to your lady friends Mike, no wonder they all seem so comfortable around you. I agree respecting Merz's privacy. Good call.
shocking construction! WOW.
This is one of your BEST, Mike!
Now if I am recalling properly out of the great darkness and depths of my senility, "tilt wall" is a fancy name for prefab OR form concrete work NOT done at the building site?
The concrete walls/floors are formed/cast at a factory and trucked to the building site. The casts are then craned into place. All the holes in the cast allow for the welding of the rebar, which if done properly, is surprisingly strong.
Does this sound correct?
***** That would be very interesting. I would think the factory cookie-cutter would be more efficient.
***** Yes and that could outweigh the cost savings. The factory would have to be on the same island.
Hi Mike.This is such a fantastic video .We are in the process of buying a new build in mactan .Do you have any idea on the cost of painting 3bedroom home.
Interesting construction
Yes it is . Agree.
True not all houses are made that way. We help my mother financially build her nice house in Leyte, on her land. The cost was over 2 million pesos. My brother was the architect, and he is a licensed one and works in Manila. My mom's house was not built that way, what Mike had shown. I live here in Washington D.C.. Thanks Mike for the vid..
Great video Mike
Regards Wayne.
nice video, how is the life in iloilo city? i know it is a peaceful little city and lately got a big boost in trade and tourism. about those houses, i don't know how the design got approved in that area, it looks unsafe but i am not a civil engineer to engage in debate about that.
Yes you are right every time we have a concrete pour on it's specific location we need to collect a sample test cylinder to determine if the concrete we pour on any locations are mark to identify the concrete strength if it conform to the correct psi ratings if after testing the dried sample test failed to meet the specified spec., the whole poured concrete will be demolished and replaced.
***** Definately, You have a very good memory!
What subdivision is this. I am currently building in Pavia. I would like to know. Thanks!
Hey, that was the most enlightening videos on home construction in the PI I have ever seen. Good thing there aren't earthquakes or typhoons in the PI...Keep up the good work. I would say wear a hard hat but I don't think it would help if that thing came down on top of someone.
Mike, are those like a prefabricated concrete slab? it is very scary it looks like it's just 4 inches thick. Are there any load bearing wall or post there. Interesting
***** I don't know how this type of construction especially a 2 level house passed structural integrity. Sorry Mike the engineer in me is coming out in full force
hi mike very interesting and very sloppy work considering they are in a hurricane and earthquake zone big time
I assume the roof trusses are strapped to the walls to keep them from blowing away ha ha ha but I doubt it
thanks
Richard in the tropics
The houses look very unusually shaped, kind of odd looking lol. Janet look so happy with her house. the inside look very small, but very livable. I'm going to have to find out how much does those houses cost. awesome video as always.
marylandman12 About $55,000USD
Chris Ricker ok, thank you
***** oh i see, is it design for families of 2?
***** Mike in the Philippines they pack people in the house like a Volkswagen bug lol
nice video. looks like the new way of building. they do the same here, warehouse prefabs the wall and are placed by crane. the only difference is here it is wood walls. I noticed here too, they are using some forms for the cement walls ( basement). look like styrofoam lol
Thanks showing me the real reality in PH
Where was the beginning of the video taken at? Savannah subdivision? The house looked like it was fired upon with some bigger gun.
***** I see. I remember part of their concrete fence was toppled/missing along C1 road..wonder if it's fixed already :).
That is why its not a good idea to get that kind of they said fully furnished because you are not sure how they build them. Nice video very informative. God Bless you!
Good video Mike. Those houses are a lot different then the one Ned has been showing. Bye the way we're having a drought here in California could you come visit? Lol....
***** Ha Ha Ha Lol I'll ask the governor.
Do you have any plans to visit any places on Luzon Island, and if so, what places will you visit?
Hello watching from manila
Whats the name of Subdivision Sir Mike? The room is small.Anyway thanks for the video. Have a safe trip always.
***** ah ok thanks Sir Mike.
And by the way , Janice , she's cute
nice house
This is called pre-cast construction and it's not the norm in Phil construction. The traditional reinforced concrete beam & columns finished off with concrete hollow blocks method is mostly preferred. They say the slab itself is strong but the "Achilles heel" might be at the welded joints in case of an earthquake.
After seeing this, I would rent first and be there during the construction of my home...Not one of these
Good video as usual. Well done Mike
I've seen commercial buildings in the U.S. constructed of precast, prestressed, reinforcecd concrete panels. The houses in the video seem to me to be a very light duty version of this type of construction. They are termite proof and probably very livable for the most part. I would be more comfortable with single story construction, however.
When I was still living and working in Manila Philippines in the early 1970 we experienced an earthquake around 5.0 magnitude and there was a lot of high rise concrete reinforced buildings that collapsed because their designs were not use to withstand 5.0 Magnitude and the concrete mixture did not meet specification because the owner did not have building inspectors to make sure the construction conforms to the design code. Concrete mixtures were falsified by the constructor to save money. In America, we have building codes and county and city inspectors supervising construction to make sure the structures are in compliance with City codes.
Minus the roof, I've worked on homes in Florida of that same construction.
@Grant Taylor when I say "of the same construction" I'm referring to pre built concrete walls being brought on site and put together. Not referring to the condition of their concrete walls in the Philippines.
Love Asian building techniques,it would make a building inspector in the west have a heart attack lol.
I wonder what the life span of these housing would be? That tropical weather is a killer.
***** I see that problem all the time on piers where the rebars have been exposed is flaked off.
The new developments (similar to the ones in the video) where I am are 70 - 80% unoccupied because the prices are outrageous.
Hey Mike. You're back. All moved out or just a little vacation break?
***** I see. Hey it's your journey & you are the one that has to enjoy it & feel content. Many are interested in a tour of Bacolod, since that is a growing expat community also & Phil/Am retirees. No one has ever covered Bacolod & they have some interesting venues, infrastructure & close proximity parks, waterfalls, nature trails. The RP national soccer team has there main stadium there which is quite nice.
***** By the way Janet seems like another pleasant Filipina. Sweet as pie smile.
***** I was just thinking the other day about if you could put wider tires on a bike over there and also connect a truck horn to scare the daylights out of some of the maniac drivers. My fiancée was in a trike that had to veer off the national highway yesterday because some yahoo was passing in the oncoming lane & would have hit them head on she said. Grrrrrrr. Hard to control my temper when that happens & I am a pretty easy going guy.
***** Hi Sir Mike , why not try the provinces of Davao, like Davao City or some adjacent cities within the province...I can assure you Sir Mike that Davao is the safest place to live a real city with all the amenities you want...Hope you can try even a year stay...just a suggestion....
***** Mike, I know the Sun will probably fall out of the sky, BUT, what happens if you don't make It home by night? LOL!
Yep, small cracks are normally due to the surface drying too quickly or no wet coat before plastering. Big cracks are of course because of movement and those walls are definitely going to move, sad
I wonder if the houses elsewhere are worth the money? Maybe it depends on where you want to live. I think that some real-estate companies prey more on OFWs.
better to built your own house, buy your own lot, hire men get a foreman, buy supplies :D
The Tilt up concrete construction system of building home is the cheapest way to built a house as it constitute enormous savings in formworks and scaffoldings when it is built the normal way by pouring concrete as you go on building. the only problem on this construction methods is that kind of construction will be weak in terms of withstanding equake of greater magnitude. Thats all right if the location is not equake bound. This will no definitely withstand in California where the equake intensity ranges 7 - 10 on the riches scale. This is a little bit stronger than a mud house.
Settling issues must be substantial? I presume they have some tests and standards as to where this will work and where it will not?
You look so shy in your profile photo 😊
***** Thanks for sharing, although the Philippines looks like a very pleasant place to live with friendly people, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty living there....What happens if a person gets sick and need medical attention?? or how far does a person have to walk to get to the nearest store? What about crime in that city?? Just curious....
Millard, take your time and do some research. You might be pleasantly surprised at the diversity of geographical areas and features.
I did 12 months of solid rsearch prior to going boots on the ground.
***** Thank you, im viewing all of your videos and will be looking at other sites to get my answer but so far from what i've seen im surprised at how beautiful the land is and the people.....Love those women over there very beautiful......
DemocracyDoctor1 Thank you kindly for sharing your input.....
+Millard Iverson In PI there are private hospitals. For God's Sake go There! Yes, they are out to make a profit! But that profit is re-invested by others far more responsible than a government and given more responsibly to others that can't afford it. Example: Old Canadian dry joke: Canadian Doctor tells his patient, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is 'that your have cancer and you will die within 1 month. The good news is that our socialist government health says we can treat it after 6 months."
+My Philippine Journey ..yes always have some sort of backup for you there,#1...don't go most places without some backup items...or without another local....that is tricky at best,unless you know the area,or language very well..peace
A 3,000 SF house is equivalent to 278.3 Sq Meter. there are 10.78 SF to a SQ.Meter.
Texan rain God!! Good video Mike :)
A great man attracts great friends
Never mind the cheap weak frame.
Those houses get really hot .
The cement walls get hit by the sun all day. When the sun sets, it'd be really stuffy inside.
*****
Yup. There's a resort in Davao who has "banig" outside the walls of their rooms. The nipa/banig absorbs the sun's ray and heat. IT works real well. The banig covers the upper half of the walls.
Wow! it is a weird way of building a house. In my opinion bamboo house are so unique compare to those type of concrete houses. But the finished house are look nice :).
sorry for the miss spelled words.....i move too fast for this phone.......but you get the point.....!
The only problem i saw was the lack of welded rebars. I think if there are more rebars welded on it, it will be more stronger and more stable than a block layed wall.
Precast wall acts like a beam and post to withstand strong vibration from earthquakes.
Holy Smokes!!!!!! All I can say is if I ever build a house in the RP I'm calling & hiring you as my special undercover contractor, paid under the table of course ;)
***** I will definitely give you a shout out if I build & at the very least have you do the electrical with a generator back up. There is a certain way you have to hook up the breaker panel to the generator for when the power goes off & on or you will fry your breaker panel & appliances from the on & off surge of the watts being different if it's automatic. Maybe a manual switch is better to turn on & off. My electrical wiring knowledge is just enough to burn my house down lol.
***** I see. I will let you explain it to me when the time comes. I would pay you & give you room & Board of course. And any travel fees. Thx.
jim nichols Thanks Jim. I always welcome your advice whether solicited or not. I will continue to learn till the day I die. Even though my fiancée says I know a lot, I tell her it is impossible to know it all. LOL
jim nichols My main concern was frying my wiring & appliances switching from the main power to the generator & back again if it was wired in to my main circuit breaker to go on automatically & then shut off & convert back to main power when the electricity came back on. Manual is fine with me but with 2 knee replacement & 2 hip replacement coming up these next 2 years I was planning ahead if I was wheelchair bound. I will eventually need a reverse shoulder replacement too. I should have never played all those sports & been so strenuous on heavy Labor work when I was younger. I thought I was invincible then. Strong as an ox. Genetics played its part too. Well I will be pretty bionic in 2 years just in time for maybe a few coronary stents to be placed & heaven knows what else. Lol. Gettin old aint fun but we keep pushin on & make the most of it. Always could be worse. My fiancée has her church praying for your tumor to halt its progression & stabilize Jim, so you can get another 20 years with your Pinay. Thanks again Jim.
***** Hey Mike, Thanks for the dpdt suggestion & confirming Jim's advice. I'm getting tag teamed here by you & Jim but that is greatly appreciated. I will try not to electrocute myself before you install it for me :)) Have you heard from Kevin lately on how he's doing? I hope he's doing ok & his house is finished with the final touches. I know he has been having internet issues. Thanks again, Mike.
I prefer the typical hollow block first then put a thick concrete finishing. That's the way my parent house was build and been through a lot of typhoon,earthquake but still going strong.this kind of construction is not durable.its just look pretty when painted but not durable enough
I guess they don't fur the walls out , insulate them then hang drywall in the Philippines huh? I would trust them much more if they used halpins and welded the panels with steel plates then just welding the rebar together in an earthquake.
Hey Mike, gotta start calling you the rain man........... They sure do make those houses different. Thanks for the new vid!! ..... Jimmy .....
lol I just knew it......................
dont do an audio fade when transitioning in your video editing.
i think i do not want to be in one of those houses when there is a earthquake they dont look that safe
Simon Whittaker omg those dogs were annoying too.
Dogs in the philippines are not as dangerous as dogs in usa or eu
@@boogerking7411 dogs = early warning system
My dog doesn't only bark. He also eat trespassers
For the price of these houses you could probably find a nice plot of land for sale big enough to build a decent size house and far enough away from any other neighbors but if you do consider buying land firstly you need a Filipina wife and the ownership of the land will be in her name not yours and always make sure the land has got a clean title ideally it should only have the sellers name on it and finally make sure you can access the land without having to use someones private road or by walking across private land to get to your property, having a government built barangay road next to the land is a must have if you buy land in Philippines.
ok....nice video man....all thanks to you.....im a Mason......17 years.....a carpenter..........and a Achitectual designer.....in USA......i see why they have soooo much devistation...during earthquakes....& storms..........absolutely......NOTHING ties the building together.......the weld joints...depending on the quality of steel used....will pop/sheer....first sign of stress........horrible......horrible....horrible.......no way.....!
I hate the way things are built nowadays, both in the US, and elsewhere. That structure doesn't look very earthquake proof, either.
***** Right. It sucks.
***** So they are prefab slabs with the rebars welded together, definitely needs air conditioning standing on their own without insulation or shade trees with the price of electricity in the Philippines it must cost a fortune to cool down. I have seen similar construction with large industrial warehousing utilizing prefab slabs. They do look pretty when they will finish. very European style.
It would depend on the amount of rebar reinforcing the concrete.
John Strabismus lol try to work as a construction worker here in the Philippines only one day you might quit..:-)
Some shotty ass construction.
Why don't they do the foundation first?I guess they have their reasons
Hi mike good to see u are back this home u are showing here are just like the home i am buying mate i dont know what thay wont this hme but we are paying about 800.000 php for the the one we are buying ok do u know what thy wont to buy a home there mike
These are dangerous! "Standard" construction here is to build "panels" of hollow-blocks on top of a solid-footer foundation, leaving 8-inch vertical spaces about every 12 feet, and at all the corners, which have re-bar columns pre-installed, and THESE "GAPS" are then formed and poured to make concrete posts, tied together with similar poured-in-place "bond beams" at the top. Everything is tied together with re-bar as it is built, and ALL spaces in the hollow blocks are filled solid. This creates a monolithic concrete structure, very strong. I am blessed to have built such a house, 540 sq. feet, for one-sixth of what those places will cost.
oh no,, they maybe builted, like that in iloilo ,,not in manila,,
Weellll if they're asking P2M, that is approx $47k. I suppose you are getting what you paid for--almost.
I build mine, which is about the same size, for $25k and it's NOT multi-story, either.
***** Oh my at P2.5M, that's $58,139! YIKES. . Traditional hallow block would be WAY more cost effective AND you would NOT be climbing up and down stairs all the time.
if my filipino builder did that to my house I would sack him
Terrible buildings, but Janet looks like she is built just fine ; )
It is VERY hard in the PH to find a good team of builders . Most will steal from you, cheat you or just not do as you ask . They do not understand modern methods or have a clue about Health and safety and getting the job done.
What happened to the Post and Beam method, save the labor and kill the neighbor?
+lightrose100 - hahaha.. that's funny!! I wouldn't live in the house without a proper support. You might ended up buried 6 feet under.
Lol you are the man! I mean A LADIES MAN!!!
Immoral when you consider that someone will probably spend the rest of their life with a mortgage on that.
really enjoyed this video ... looks terrible build but nice with cosmetic finish.. beats squatters shack what they prob had b4.. starter homes in ph... cheap cheerful.. it does job..
Ya wouldn't catch me buyin one of these homes, there'd be cracks appearing in the walls within 3 months
I`ve been in construction for 30 years and now spen alot of time in the philippines, even by Philippine standards those houses are very poor and i personally would not want to be in one of those in a earthquake
there is plenty of land in the Philippines, I wouldn't want to live is some development there, but that's just me
i build my house in leyte in concrete with reinforced steel bars and mixture of 1x2x3 this house model cannot sustain intensity 7 earthquake
I would like the walls reinforced.just like they have them here.But go with a roof that's light weight yet very strong.
the wall looks too thin looks like they didn't used bricks
omg is that a house... no way...
That's the crappiest construction I have ever seen, I hate to be there when earthquake hits
@@myphilippinejourneytravelinfo better to buy a single bag mixer & some 3/4" marine plywood for the forms & pour your own. hire a couple of locals for p300 a day plus lunch. in the end you will be far better off.
Just checking, 2.5 million php meaning (usd $1.00 to php 45) approx. 55,000? Man, are you sure? Is it a primo location? What am I missing? Do you mean 1/4 mil. php? I've only been to the Luzon, but 2.5 mil would buy me a mansion assuming I married a Filipina.
+My Philippine Journey Mike, I know you have a lot of subscribers now and that's awesome. But that answer was flippant. I did not want the exact location, but the province and general neighborhood to explain the cost. I know from your lingo you are very familiar with general contracting. So, I know you are very well versed in calculating the value of property. If there's a personal element I'm missing please knix this message. Its not my place or want. I know the laws about foreigners owning land in PI (old timers call it Pee Eye, a linguistic that may come in handy). The 40 to 60% ratio in marriage I know and I'm trying to stay up to date about foreign mortgage (unstable government = unstable investment). You're very likely more up-to-date on the former than I am (makes me wanna lick a light socket). I have my own modest amount of money. AND No! I do not want yours. I don't want any type of merger. I'm just curious to what I'm missing in your cost analysis on the location and structure in the video provided. Salumut, Pete
+My Philippine Journey I wouldn't purchase it either at that price and the location doesn't merit it. Thanks for the come back Mike. I knew you had something to do with building. I made my bones after H. Ivan. I've been out of it for along time now. I well know you've been through the same in that neck of the woods. I hate admitting this and I know its somehow masochistic, but I do miss the challenge. . . ...except for trying to keep the insurance agencies to honor their contracts, lawyers, bureaucrats, . . ..where's my bourbon? Oy, just a few more months. Cody, Wy or PI. I love the people in both locations. Best Wishes, Pete G.
Welding rebar is a terrible idea. No rebar sold in the Philippines is weldable. Or if it is sold here, it costs way more than normal rebar - which means no one will buy it, which means no one will sell it. I can imagine some people will try to weld the low grade rebar they have, but they are much, much better off just using the proper wire ties to bind the rebar together. Please do some research or the proper way to weld rebar before trying it with just any old rebar.
so 250000PH peso is about 5500 $$$ For starter home beats a SHACK in a squatter baragay step up the ladder
You're missing a zero
2.5mil peso is $162,000 ???????????? that is over priced
terrible beams and precast no quality
Way overpriced...
DISCLAIMER...better off ,if you can afford it...?..move to the phillipines..in my 20+ years being married and seeing other filipinas here in the U.S.,the ratio to happy marriges,ongoing marriages,is pretty low...HERE IT IS ...if you're not the same religious as your GF,don't drink,don't smoke,and same age as her,you will more than 90%...FAIL...period...i've seen it,lived it..and don't tell me i'm wrong...i wish you the best....peace my friends...again disclaimer...filipinas make great wives
You can't own land or business in the phillipines if your a xpat
1417d CORRECT
Looks like something you would see in a war zone
As a commercial and residential builder the way those are built is a joke.
oh by the way......im planing on moving there next year....my fionse is philippino......he he......but i will buy " our own land ".....and be my own builder.......yes.....american standard in the philippines..........they need a reac contractor like me out there.........seriously man......im not joking......someone who can do hings right....with higher standards........bro....send me a private email......you seem to know a bit about american standards........i would be interested in starting a contracting business there.....of course.....not using their standards......but higher.standards..........or if anyone else...wih serious real experience has and interested in the same thing.......in the philippines........sorry......but they do need some real help....with higher standards........ok.....thks......love the philippines.......just not building standards.......well.....not concrete...or masonyr standards....that is.....all their carpentry.......is beautiful.......i must say....!
Foundation is weak... ur builder is wrong...lol
That seems over priced over two million P
