- Building a solid concrete retaining wall in this week's episode of Season 2 of Building house in Philippines. The solid concrete retaining wall acts as not only a retaining wall but also a flood prevention barrier and is sure to last for years to come. the retaining wall is a cantilever style wall resting on a 16 inch slab footer with reinforced concrete. The retaining wall will extend 4 feet off footer which will be the height of our backfill on property and will be sitting half meter higher than road and contain another half meter for house.

Maparusahan kayo o malala mapa deport dito sa pinas. Pwede kayong magdesign ng saliri nyong bahay and also before you want to build a firm in the philippines dapat isang kang pilipino at licence architect dito sa pilipinas kasi hahanapin yan ng dti, Sec at prc ng pilipinas. This is Just a reminder na huwag agad mag engage ng kagaya ng practice ng architect dito sa pinas without knowing the law.
Watch ka muna ng old namin videos. This is our second house.. May naka sabit na malaking building permit kami nung gumagawa kami sa una namin bahay so di na kami baguhan kv oang second and soon 3rd house na namin ito.. 😊 Thanks for concern.... Bukod pa din may formal trainings si asawa dun sa ibang bansa kc alam nya to kc 23 years din cya sa contraction industry sa US.. Pool. Garden. Plumbing. Polish concrete. Mag operate ng big machines
. Backhoe. Loader at kung ano ano pa..
pag inggit pikit 🤣
Ang ibig kong sabihin building permit.. Means we have blueprint from licenced architect engineers at etc.... And building permit
yan kasi...pahiya konti
bago kasi magsalita nood din kasi muna madam..di ko nman nilalahat pero baguhin nyo na yang lumang ugali ng Filipino.
Really appreciate a hands-on American with clear details and explanation. I'm a Filipino Architect in the US for almost 4 decades. This Hands-on is an American Technological culture. Even US Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter were Hands-on. So many US TV shows are Hands-on and going down and dirty. Much respect.
Richard and Donna aren't gonna sleep anymore if they decide to become full on contractors. The way Richard builds his house is such a joy to watch. People are gonna line ip to gave their houses built by you.
Your very.lucky
Richard and Donna should really start a Construction Company or Contractor Consultation business for Expats!
I'm happy for the Foreman in Charge, I am sure he is learning so much from this project in terms of technical knowledge, coz normally, Foreman here in PH doesn't really have an educational background but only learned through years of working and experienced.
You're right
Kuya! Be a Contractor in the Philippines. You have such a brilliant ideas on building houses. Go! You explained everything very clear.
i agree with edcel! your a good contactor! quality over quantity!
Great video
If I ever build in the Philippines 🇵🇭 this is my man … he so clear and a perfectionist.
Agree
he can also offer engineering serviced to commercial edtablishment/maintenance like mcdo etc.
Thank you so much for letting the workers use proper tools! With this, they will become more experienced, further elevating their building standard too. You are helping train future artisans!
It's hard for most viewers to understand how big a undertaking this is for you and your family. I've built two homes here in the Philippines, it's a full time job and then some. It's especially hard when you can't communicate well with your foreman. It's nice you are purchasing power tools and things to help with the job, sometimes they are reluctant to use them as they are comfortable with the old ways. It's amazing how much prices for construction materials have risen in the last few years. A sack of cement was 180 php before, now 230 here on Negros. This material increase also raises labor cost if you pay the crew based off a percentage of the total material cost. I look forward to following your progress. Amping always and God bless you and your family.
Richard.. That concrete is soup.. it should never be that wet. The slump is non-existent.
I know Filipinos like to make it wet cause it is easier to work with but you lose all your concrete strength. The concrete floor you did for your friends looked great. Not to wet, not to dry. Looking forward to your next video.
Love how you guys are so transparent about anything y'all do. From family, contracting, and everything in between. No way that's easy. you guys possess servant's hearts, and it shows through these videos. Thank you for everything you guys are doing, and are sharing with us.
Showing love from Texas 🤘.
God Bless 🙏
richard is a very talented man.and he knows everything when it comes to building houses.he is also a very industrious man.goodluck armstrong family❤️
This labour have experiencing already the proper training to be an international skilled worker. 🎉👍🏼
Richard you will be a great contractor. I admire how you do things in building a house. Waiting for the amazing result and your Filipino helper are learning the right way .
Definitely Mr. Armstrong is a builder.. he knows construction terminologies and whatnot..
When I turned 30 my interest drastically changed, I always found myself watching these house building and DIY projects , bought my first tool box and always thinking about adding more tools 😂 Love this series
I'm a retired builder in the puget sound Washington and also in the bay area California.. been encountered building a residential in a wet area land.. hats off in you.. Im also you're viewer in your first house build in the Philippines.. keep continuing, I bet you'll grow more viewer to learned.. love you're family specially your daughter.. she's lovely 😍.. hey God Bless on your JOURNEY my brother..
Iam your 1st subscriber. More construction content pls
Good for the Carpenters in Ilocos they have work with Richard and Donna. God bless your family Armstrong Team🙏.
Demn!your husband had such a knowledge on building houses very hands on!shame on other contractors that making shortcuts in building many houses here in the Philippines without proper knowing on how and when to use a materials that makes the house last long!good job on your project,Keep it up guys!you inspire and educate me to make my own house equip with the knowledge you shared!
This guy is very knowledgeable in home construction I’m really very impressed…🥰
This is the advantage of the owner having a knowledge in technical Construction, know how to read plans and etc. one thing I notice during pouring of concrete, No concrete spacer for Concrete cover and I hope you also notice that, the concrete have a lot of water which can weaken or reduce the strength of concrete and the nice thing and I always want to see during construction period is the bend of Lateral ties of Column, bend at 135 degrees which is correct, most of the time Construction workers and even technical here in the Philippines omited. All in all you did a Great Job👌👌
Ok , so here we are again with build #2 .
I’m now getting excited 😆 all over again .
I don’t care so much for a 2 story home 🏡 that is for the young , but don’t listen to me I’m just thinking 🤔 out loud.
I’m excited to see how this house will look because I was so in love with your first home and the layout.
I’m here with you guys supporting you in spirit.
He knows what quality of a house he is building..with process explained..one can understand that its going to be a good house..strong foundation..etc..he is not bossy and even helps in the construction..
" kudos" to sir Richard and to his workers for a great work‼️👍👍
Gbu all..
Blood sweat n tears is invested in this building of a home i know ur sacrifices thats why when u sold ur first house i was quite shock
I learned that after having to jack up 3 homes, repair foundations and joints etc, there is no such thing as overkill when building a foundation for a building.
I guess he's an engineer..he knows a lot about house-building
You're amazing Richard! You live up to your family name, Armstrong! You are strong to work on your dreams, doing good in constructing strong and beautiful houses, you have a mind full of great ideas, more power and share your blessings to all who believe in you! God bless!!!
Another build house by the Armstrong family. Richard is super hands on to every details of this project. Waiting to see more new method on the next vlog. Btw hello to Donna and Ella. God bless ur fam.
He explains the building process very well. Very detailed.
Yung mga trabahador maikekwento nila tong experience nila sa mga anak nila na my isa silang pinaka nabless na project, alagang alaga sila na prang pamilya narin
I like how Richard gives teaching guidance to the workers rather than just trying to be the big boss person. This helps them feel more ingratiated towards Richard to learn from what he has to share of his knowledge of construction for different landscapes to build better homes. Cheers too for Donna's constant efforts to help Richard's instructions across clearly to the foreman and workers. This is both a mentally and physically draining project, for you both and yet you are both handling this well. I'm glad you took a vacation to relax before setting yourself to this epic task ahead of you. God bless and keep you and your workers all safe during this build project. I hope Richard will know that everyone is cheering for him and the rest of the Armstrong Family as you deal with things that come up ahead of you. I hope too that when the second house comes up for sale that you can get a good profit to help sustain your family so that you have financial breathing room and time to relax a bit before your next move for the future happens. Cheers and best wishes for you all!
Wow! Thanks so much Jack. Reading this was an absolute inspiration to me. Fortunately I've got a crew that wants to learn and not look down on me or criticises me for bringing in fresh ideas. Although I know some principles are against how things are done here. But what I've learned, are they work very well in states for years and can benefit many here.
Holy crap, this is the first time I've seen the stirrups done right On any videos of builds over there. Great work getting the important details right
You should be a contractor. You dont need a engineer or a architecture to build your house. You have so much knowledge.
Great set up for the concrete. You possibly need to do a slump test, as the concrete looks so wet. This will effect the finished strength of the job.
kung nanunuod ka from d very start sa vlog or story ng mag asawa na to alam na alam mo. Kaya ako salute sa mga plano nilang mag asawa
I'm SO proud of YOU both because you do everything for the building of your New second house godbless your family always and be safe and be healthy always
Great content . Also others have already mentioned that your transfer of knowledge to the locals working on site is a fantastic additional benefit as they improve their skill sets.
With that knowledge Some are going to be future contractors themselves
Mahilig kasi mga pinoy contractors sa trabahong short-cuts dahil "nagtitipid masyado". Kung ang trabaho kasi ay masyadong by-the-book. this would of course entails additional costs. Eh pinoy ba naman mahilig sa mababang presyo sa construction contracts, kaya ganun kadalasan sa pagpapagawa ng bahay. dami shortcuts!!! Pero iba ang trabaho sa larger construction done by pinoy constructors na may concern sa quality.
Kung ganito ka passionate ang mga contractor sa pinas tas honest pa.
My goodness, the foreman is VERY VERY LUCKY, he will learn friggin' LOTS about western standard in building a home / structure!!! I wish I can I send my brother there as your katulong.
Hard work gets repaid in the end … ignore the jealous type - maybe they don’t know the Laws of the Land …
Good Luck and God 🙏🏻bless you both ❤️❤️❤️
Stay healthy to fulfil your Dreams ❤️
I'm happy with these workers that they experience using multi-tools/equipment which help them finish the job faster and easier. 🙂
I have been watching u since that first house planning/construction but i just subscribed because you earned the trust! U really have the guts and grit only few good men have nowadays! I pray for you and wifey to have more happy years together!
Hi Richard you nailed it again. This is somewhat a video tutorial for the ones who are studying Civil Engineering or Architecture. Applied Engineering and rule of thumb is a mixture of lesson you can get from it. This video, indeed is enjoyable.
Excellent job, never take short cuts with safety of your property and family.
Being a Filipino living in Florida you just made want to go home .. And thank you for showing me how that can be possible... Beautiful family God bless
Aww.. thank you. These are the types of comments we love to read!
@@TheRichardArmstrong You guys are welcome... Can you do some consulting for me when I do get my house built.. That would be Awsome.. Love your mason work..
In this video, what I really appreciate the most is that workers are not killing their back in doing their jobs. Thanks to the power tools and equipments that Richards provides to make things easier and faster as it progresses. Good job 👍.
I agree i think you will be a good contractor
Take care Mr Armstrong you're such a blessing to us, hope to see you build more houses here in the Philippines!
Kudos to Donna. You are an amazing support to your husband and are very intelligent and knowledgeable in understanding the how and what of Richards explanations for the men. I could never....you are an amazing lady full of great ideas and designing !!! 👏👏👏👏
Richard you’re such a great person knowledgeable of how to manage your family and your house projects 👍💪
Building houses in d paddy fields is hard tusk. The house depends on its strong foundation n raw materials you'll use. So far ur doing a good job Richard. Love ur enthusiasm n skill with knowledge of what ur doing, great all d best. Bless you, Donna n Ella too.god bless d work of ur hands.
Your idea Richard is one of the best home builder. I like your design, the deep wheel and the water pressure gives me ideas how to set it up correctly. The problem in Philippines, the water irrigation has no upgrade, none of the Engineers have solution to keep the water running, The water interruption in the Philippines have no solutions. I love the high quality of your project and the design.
Thanks for sharing your building construction. Yes, I am following your channel and learning a lot too. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Wow its easy to cut steel if there is cutter easy to build house then there is mixer too.Richard knows everything in building concreat house.
You can never over engineer the stronger the better to start with then it done for the life time of the concrete
0:49 what a Creepy sound Goosebumps
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…Richard I really think you should consider being a contractor if for nothing else at least the foundations…! I definitely see this in your future and you enjoy doing it which is the best job to have in the world…! Merry Xmas to you, your family and everyone else…! Enjoy the holidays everyone and stay safe…!
Great progress, thanks for bringing us along...keep your options open on the second half of the lot, a pool and entertainment area would be a nice companion for your new house.
Thank you for sharing your ideas! I just bought our land for our retirement home in the Philippines and I love the way you build your house. Thank you!
Solid na solid yung footer ng concrete fences nya d basta basta matutumba if incase na lumindol bagy na bagy sa klase ng lupa
Wow, very sturdy.😄. Thanks for sharing construction info. 👏
Congratulations to u both..GOD BLESS US ALWAYS
I've learned that it's always better to, "Have it and not need it than need it and not have it".
I admire you richard, you know lots of things, you have technical knowhow

That is an incredibly strong wall, well done. It is certainly never going to have problems. Nice site, really enjoying it.
very lucky foreman he will learn more from Mr. Armstrong
Great to watch your next build. Looks like you're doing it all right from my armchair. I was happy to see you thoroughly cleaning the mixer with your power washer when concrete day was ending and everyone was exhausted. 👍
