Finish-Level Cost Comparison
These estimates use the same area, house type, and region so the table isolates the effect of finish level.
| Finish | Cost per sqm | Estimated total | Typical scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economic / Bare | ₱15,335 | ₱1,840,200 | Basic structural finish, minimal interior works |
| Standard | ₱23,593 | ₱2,831,160 | Standard residential finish with basic fixtures |
| Semi-Luxury | ₱33,030 | ₱3,963,600 | Above-average finishes with quality fixtures |
| Luxury / High-End | ₱46,005 | ₱5,520,600 | Premium materials and custom finishes throughout |
Assumptions
- Two-storey 120 sqm total floor area, standard residential finish, normal reinforced concrete structure, and regular subdivision lot access.
- Central Luzon labor and material transport adjustment is used in CostCalc PH.
- The estimate excludes land filling, flood mitigation, soil improvement, deep wells, perimeter fencing, and municipal requirements outside normal permits.
Local Cost Notes
- For Bulacan lots, elevation and drainage deserve early attention because fill, site grading, and drainage can add real cost.
- Supplier access is generally strong near NCR corridors, but farther municipalities can see different hauling and scheduling conditions.
Budget Watchouts
- Ask for separate line items for fill, drainage, septic, cistern, and site development instead of burying them inside a generic per-sqm quote.
- Compare contractor quotes against a BOQ, not just total package price.
Plan the Next Decision
A cost-per-sqm estimate is only the first checkpoint. Use the related planning tools to test schedule and financing before converting this budget into a contractor scope.
