1. Practicality over looks 2. Keep Straight lines as straight as possible 3. Provide extra parking space 4. Don't repair cracks too early (Wait 3 to 4 years) 5. Invest in insulation 6. Know where the water is going (Make sure all slopes are going down the drain) 7. Minimize the number of floors and stairs 8. Make the masters bedroom as big as possible 9. Consider the path of the sun 10. Expect mistakes. Don't expect everything to be perfect

[@alcubz2622]

Consider it as a guideline Not a rule. Example: 1. Practicality of looks. A large portion of his house walls are made of glass though looks modern but impractical with our tropical weather. He basically voilated his 1st rule.

[@joanneramos5310]

Thank you, Slater and thanks to your dad. #10 tip really helped me calm down. We just finish the construction of our house and I see a number of things that could have been done better. The construction process was indeed a stressful experience especially that we live out of the country and had to travel several times to physically see the job progress despite the pandemic. Nothing is perfect talaga. I chose to rest my case and start enjoying our new house. I am learning a lot from your vlogs. Keep posting.

"Form Follows Function" Building purpose and function must be the starting of the design rather than aesthetic. Most common design philosophy na ginagamit ng mga archi students hehe

[@lizmacaraig]

This is good content. Especially found tip #3 (?) insightful, about not fixing the cracks right away. Usually when we observe cracks on the walls or floors of new homes, we automatically attribute them to poor workmanship or use of substandard materials. It's not always the case pala 😄

Nice tips especially having flat flooring all through out the house, basically for safety reasons, not only for the elderly but for everyone. I often see many houses in the Philippines where small steps/transitions are all over from one area to the next, I always look down lest I stumble.
