How construction costs are typically distributed across a standard Philippine residential project:
Budgeting rule of thumb: Always add 10–15% contingency on top of your estimated construction cost for scope changes, material price increases, and unforeseen site conditions. Do not use your contingency as a target — use it as a safety buffer.
These ranges are starting points. Real construction costs depend on your site, your design, your material choices, and your contractor. AEDO Construction provides detailed, honest cost estimates — based on what your project actually requires, not what you want to hear.
