Contractors and Developers: The Best of Both Worlds

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Alfonso's Page

If you are looking to save some money on your brand new home, one thing you might want to consider is the class of developer you are investing in.

When we dissected the pricing schemes of real estate developers, we noticed that there are various factors that contribute to the listed price. One of these key factors is the construction cost – that is, higher construction costs naturally entails a higher listed price. Another factor is the construction period. Most developers have to bid out their projects to contractors before starting construction, requiring additional time and expenses throughout the process.

As such, firms who have the capacity to act as both the contractor and developer, hold an unmatched advantage in the industry.

The following is a list of three (3) key advantages for these types of developers:

Galloping Economy, Bumili na tayo!

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Alfonso's Page

The Philippines, as an economy, is galloping its way back to the top. As we ended 2010, The World Bank registered the year-end growth of the Philippines to about 7.3%, from a growth of about 1.1% in 2009 we are experiencing a very optimistic economy. The Philippines is seeing its highest growth since the post Marcus era, which was over 20 years ago.

When referring to the real estate industry, it is hard to find a public real estate company that is not doing well. The backlog of the Philippine economy is estimated to be around 3.7 million, with that number drastically increasing parallel to the Philippine population. Continue reading →

Feel Good story #1

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Alfonso's Page

These people you are about to see is a very nice couple who recently purchased a home at Cedar Crest–a medium rise condominium project in Taguig. Dave & Ebeth Cenido are giving their honest and sincere opinions about their experience with DMCI Homes.

It was very nice of them to give us the time to interview them, especially with their busy schedules. Dave and Ebeth talked briefly that they planned on raising a family within DMCI Homes in the near future. I really love the idea that families are being created within DMCI Homes. I would like to thank Dave and Ebeth again for putting up with all our questions, I think this would be helpful to many people out there to gauge from a customer experience how DMCI Homes is as a developer.

P.S.- The sound is somewhat poor. Please excuse this technical mishap, our apologies.
