Construction

The build itself, from setting out to the day you get the keys. Someone from LSEE is on site every working day, and you get a written report with photographs every week.

Most disputes are not about bad work. They are about an owner finding out about a three week slip a month after it happened.

Programme

The rain writes half the schedule

A programme that ignores the weather here is fiction. Cyclones run June through November, and the wet season costs far more than the days nobody can work.

Excavations flood and need dewatering before anything can be poured. Plaster and paint need surfaces dry enough, which takes longer in this humidity. Work at height stops in wind.

So groundworks and the frame go into the drier months where the start date allows, and the weather allowance is visible in your programme rather than buried in it.

Quality

Concrete, steel and the parts nobody sees again

What decides whether a building lasts is buried by the time you walk through it: rebar size and spacing, whether the reinforcement had proper cover, whether the mix got the water it was designed for.

None of it shows at handover, which is why it gets skipped where nobody checks. We photograph reinforcement before every pour.

Batangas is seismically active and sits under Taal, so the structural detailing is not a formality to get a permit stamped.

Checked and recorded

  • Setting out and levels confirmed against the drawings before excavation
  • Reinforcement photographed and signed off before concrete is placed
  • Concrete mix and slump recorded pour by pour
  • Roof fixings and tie-downs inspected before sheeting goes on
  • Drainage falls tested with water, not judged by eye
Sequence

How a build runs

01

Set out

Boundaries confirmed, levels established and the footprint pegged against the approved drawings.

02

Substructure

Excavation, footings, columns to ground level and the slab, with dewatering where the season demands it.

03

Frame and roof

Columns, beams and slabs up, then trusses and sheeting so the building is closed against weather.

04

Services and finishes

Rough-ins for electrical, plumbing and drainage, then plaster, tiling, joinery and paint.

05

Handover

Testing, snagging closed out, final inspection for occupancy, and the documents handed over.

Questions

Asked often enough to answer here

A supervisor who is responsible for your project and reachable during working hours. You will not be routed through an office that has to call the site to answer you.

What was completed, what is next, anything that has slipped and why, any decision we need from you, and photographs. It goes out whether the week went well or badly.

Yes, on work that can proceed safely and to standard. We do not pour concrete into a flooded excavation or put people on a roof in wind to protect a date on a chart.

It is your building. Arrange it with the supervisor so we can meet you with the right protective equipment and walk you through what you are looking at.

Quotation

Talk it through with someone who will be on site

Call the office between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Monday to Saturday, or message the Facebook page any time. Send drawings or a rough scope and a written, itemised estimate comes back.
