A price per meter is useless as it is so small a job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatuk2014 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 What we do is buy the materials ourselves from our regular builders merchant who will normally know what you need for various jobs and pay the contractors by the day from 300-600 pesos a day and meriendas. We learnt the hard way never let the contractor buy the materials or borrow our tools ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Materials were considerable less too. Had to buy some tools like buckets and spades ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamfurlong Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 the quote from contractor was 160 thousand to do the 12 metre wall,,,it had accent tiles on part of it, two lights on the columns each side of the single gate, a double gate. all painted,,i think it is expensive,,do you think is expensive or correct for 2019 prices. It also includes the drawing and submission for approval as required by subdivison rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that will need to have All materials supplied by the Contractor. If you go for that then you must be Foot down hard and No More Cash. I think I would go 50% down and then 2 Stage Payments as you want but keeping the last payment until Finished Just my Thoughts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillipino_wannabe Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 180k pesos for a 12 meter wall? Surely not, you could get it done cheaper in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to remember where we are and when it comes to Enclosing a Subdivision House & lot there are so many if buts and whats so it is far better to go with the Subdivision rules and HOA with a prefered Contractor BTW the cost is 160.000 Edited June 18, 2019 by Jack Peterson little correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
