Prefab options

Okay, we got the latest update from response shelter and with the present budget for this 29penn dwelling project it looks impossible to go for their ali-kit building system. The unofficial quote we got shows that for a 50 sqm. unit it would roughly be Php673k excluding shipping, installation and even the structure itself. So that price covers for:
Electrical - 20,271 Plumbing and sanitation - 63,098 House finishing - 517,959. VAT of 12% - 72,159

I was told by the contractor that the structure might just be about another 500k with shipping of about 21k and installation of 16k for a 4-day work (4k/day). I was impressed for the cost savings on labor but surprised on the structure cost and finishing which would be over to 1M. Just way-out of my plan.....

That said, I turned to their next offer of a rapid system which could be extended up to 2-storey only. This may be a more practical approach because of the high cost of the ali-kit which is optimized for a 6-storey building.
