The ULTIMATE GUIDE To Building Your Home!

The biggest complaints I get when it comes to building a house are
"Ang sakit sa ulo!"
"Where do I start?"
"How can I make sure I work with reliable people?"
(and many many more)
In today's video, I'll do my best to demystify the whole construction process and hopefully, I can point you in the right direction when it comes to building your dream home.
For my fellow professionals, check out this Epson SureColor SC-T3130X Technical Printer: www.epson.com....

Just curious, are engineers also taking to account the environmental effects of housing projects like this on these mountains? Don't get me wrong, I love your content but I'm just curious if there are procedures in place when excavating these mountains where plenty of trees/plants are growing. Do they have plans to plant the equivalent amount to the ones they removed or do they just go on excavating mountainsides because it's private property?

[@zeusjohngea5901]

In reality of construction, the contractor needs to get a permit from gov't agencies concerned before starting the construction itself.

[@thatguyslater]

Yes, environmental permits and approvals are needed as well as a lot of environmental compliance. I explained this in a previous video 👌🏼

[@christianandrewbrozas2032]

di pweding makalimutan yan. sustainability and enviromental considerations are always part of any projects like this.

[@nathanielnazareth4811]

Hi, I enjoy watching your videos, they are both educational and entertaining because you convey concepts in a very simple manner. Just wondering if it's really worth it to build these kinds of homes on mountain tops. Is there a high demand for it po? In terms of real estate, this is a great project because of the view. If I had the money, I would buy one too, guaranteed that it doesn’t cause any major changes in the environment hehehehe baka naman jk. However, as a graduating engineering student, I always keep in mind that the projects should not have a significant impact on the environment, such as changing the landscape of the mountains. With the world slowly dying, it is really worth the risk despite having the permits approved by the government?

[@cedricktobias7488]

may city ordinances po bawat city na need mag tanim nang new trees pamalit sa excavated area bago po maapprove ung permits nila

[@ayehawk2281]

I am an Architect and I want to say Thank You Slater for your wholesome content. Everyone on the professional allied services (arki, structural/civil, electrical, ece, me, and plumbing) should work as a whole to create the best building professional could construct. Kudos to your team, Slater!

[@aydapadistudio]

This felt like a lecture sa school. Pwedeng-pwede maging professor si Slater 😄 Thanks for sharing your knowledge, sir!

[@sppa2410]

Thank you Professor Slater. Now we are reminded how important the works of - Architect - Geodetic Engineer - Geotechnical Engineer - Structural Engineer - Electrical Engineer - Plumbing Engineer - Quantity Surveyor - Project Manager

[@theshadow5472]

The dedication of this great man to his craft is amazingly commendable!

[@theshadow5472]

Nope! You're not Slater. Piss off! Hehehe

[@kleintonrivera1084]

Engr. Slater, don’t forget about the Electronics Engineers. Most buildings don’t consider them but they will ensure all your needs as to the electronics field is well integrated on your buildings. These include but not limited to structured cabling systems, telco repeater systems, professional audio systems on your multi function halls, Video Teleconferencing solutions, Building communications systems (radio,wifi,cellular), computer systems for office quarters onsite, cctv surveillance systems, access control systems and a lot more. Most buildings do not integrate these systems during the build phase and get added upon as the requested but hopefully in the future our field-being an Electronics Engineer myself- will be included during the construction phase of all buildings. Anyways, what a nice video Engr. Slater and spot on with hiring professionals for all the different aspects of building a house.

[@LanceLaguilles]

I just really love how Slater emphasizes the role and importance of an Architect. As a future architect myself, I am so overwhelmed that he is acknowledging my profession and he is acknowledging his allied professionals 🍃💖

[@PrinzDannielleAborotRasp-pr8wd]

This Guy just discussed a whole term of Building System Design college course in one Video Kudoss Engr!!!

[@ajjixyreneroque1322]

In short, hire professionals! Sobrang laking tulong po ng mga professionals natin. Akala natin masyadong magastos if maghire pa ng professionals when in fact hiring professionals is also an investment. Thank you for this video, Engr!

[@paulk8444]

As a Mechanical Contractor and Home Remodeler / Rehabber in USA it is interesting to see it from a Filipino perspective and how important a role the Architect plays here i coordinating the Engineers and even utilizing a Project management team to coordinate as I know there are many complications and headaches you can run into building in the Philippines. Supplies and keeping the flow along with reliable stores and suppliers is one of the hardest and while it may be easier in say Cebu verses a smaller city where things need to be ordered and brought in and at mercy of simple things like a ferry used to deliver and slowed by rough seas. Smart to do a multi-housing in one area as this cuts down time and cost while also making it easier for Individual differences.

[@jajepilapil1067]

Huge respect man for giving light to an architect’s role 👌 and the rest of the allied professions

[@edpure5866]

thank you for educating the public about the importance of construction professionals na kailangan talaga sa pagawa ng bahay.huwag maniwala agad agad sa mga foreman na magaling lang magsalita na nakagawa lang ng bahay architect na daw 😂

[@cristiandelute6393]

Architect Llyan Austria and Engr Slate Young is among the best vlogger for future nation builders, like me who is currently an Architecture Student., Thank you sir.

[@njj602]

Great content. Hoping no "palakasan" was involved in all environmental permits. Seeing the houses overhanging the mountains give me both inspiring engineering and landslide anxiety vibes.

[@liannelugue7025]

Getting that printer on my wishlist. and thank you for advocating hiring the right professionals - especially architects. we don't get that appreciation and recognition very often (especially in the province). very refreshing to hear that

[@ninojanjeremygo463]

That's not Slater, bot and scams, be careful guys.

[@ros1nanteee]

Wala na talaga akong thoughts na mag shift ng course hahahah, Thank you sir Slater. Mas na inspire pa ako na maging civil engineer.

[@joef1639]

Thanks for this vlog Slater!👍👍 So that the clients will be more aware of the importance of every design & construction professionals.. I saw the structural foundations of your project and it reminds me this; I had a client who argued with me because of the expensive cost of the foundation which I already discussed with them long before the construction (the lot is a swampy lot that the geotechnical engineer recommend to have a foundation depth of 6mts).. Then when they encountered a financial problem they blame it to me because "BAKIT DAW NILA GAGASTOSAN NG MALAKI ANG ISANG BAGAY NA NASA ILALIM NAMAN NG LUPA".... Which they already know the condition of the project site and the purpose of the foundation.... Sa sobrang badtrip ko itinawa ko na lang sa harap nila... Everytime that I remember that project it hurts me a lot kasi hanggang ngayon nakatenggang ang project at kalawangin na yung mga bakal at ang pinakamasakit at nakakabit ang pangalan naming mga professionals doon sa project.. Kaya bilib ako sa mga client na open minded at honest... Kung kulang ang budget sana mgsabi lang ng totoo hindi yung nakikipagdebate pa.. 😆😆😆😆 Anyway... Thank you for you very informative vlogs and more power!

[@johnnyg7899]

This was great information. I was recommended a builder and he has several examples of homes he built in the Philippines. I am aware of the short cuts some builders use and that everything is way much slower there, so I plan to rent for a year before construction starts. I am mostly worried about building near agricultural land instead of one designated as residential.

[@Heptadic]

ahh. Slater, your mention about the Architect's role in building construction is very commendable. That line is very unifying. As we know, here in Philippines, the Architect's role is very underrated and many do not really know what Architect's do. But with how you articulated it, I hope that many will understand that Architect's, Civil/Structural Engineers, Sanitary Engineers/RMP's, Electrical Engineers and so on... are actually a team. without their cooperation, collaboration and concerted effort, the building industry and their end product will never be as pleasing, functional and serving its purpose for a very long time. Thanks Engineer Slater.

A very good insight. People tend to disregard the importance of such technical professionals for this idea of saving upright money just because there are others (cheaper options) that already had prior experience building house projects. "Nakagawa/nakapagtayo na ako ng ganyan" ika nga nila.

Whahhaah.. pa 2nd floor n ung bhay

[@potatofry3093]

The video is very educational and easy to understand, even non architects and non engineering students can easily cope with the instructions however truth to be told this kind of step by step procedure is only applicable to upper middle class and the rich. Kasi if we'll base it on our real income, di talaga afford ng lahat ng tao ito, and di pa kasali ang 10 percent ng fees ng mga engineers na na mention. Expensive po siya that's why a lot of people prefer to work directly with the masons or experienced construction workers kasi sa pakyawan or daily payment palang ng trabahante malaki na. We appreciate the effort and thoughts that you put in this video sir slater, pero right now di afford ng lahat ng kababayan natin ang procedures na ito. Yes, totoo na mas maganda kung may expert talaga na mag ga guide sayu however, fees palang maaubos na budget, goodbye material budget na, lalo na ngayun mas tumataas ang percentage ng inflation. I am not against the idea, clearly gusto ko siya kasi in the long run, ang titira ang makaka benefit, pro di talaga kaya lahat ng kababayan natin. God bless po sir slater!

[@ainahvlogs]

Ang galing ni slater mag explain. May natutunan na nman ako

[@akogepayo]

My humble opinion as an IT person myself. There's another engineer na hindi na mention I think. You need a computer/IT engineer, to plan for CAT5/6 data cabling. An electrical engineer can do this job. Nakita ko kasi na ang data cabling is always an afterthought. It can save you a lot of trouble and without the need to expose data cabling or mag akyat sa ceilings to add data cables. Heard of poor WIFI signals in various spots of a building? That's because a computer engineer was not included in the planning stage.

[@ayrasantiago6241]

Kudos for the educational video, really helpful for the filipino real estate and construction community. Just want to add, especially with the type of project you have at hand, a Licensed Landscape Architect is someone who must also be part of the team from the conceptual stage more importantly for collaboration not just on design but also planning and construction. Often times in the Philippines, there’s a common misconception that Landscape Architects are an after thought or seems like an aesthetic solution, but they are an integral part of the design of the planning of your home spaces to integrate with the natural environment. It’s an added value to providing a good home and investment for you and your family. 😊
