How Much to Build a House in the Philippines？

Container houses are becoming more and more popular, and they have also become a popular trend in house construction. Next, I will compare the estimated price of building a house in the Philippines. Let's see if it is cheaper to build a container house in the Philippines.

Cost of Building a House in the Philippines

The cost of building a house in the Philippines today is approximately 17,000 to 40,000 Philippine pesos (US$335-790) or more per square meter.

The following is an estimate of rapid housing construction for traditional houses (not including plots):

Economic home completion: PHP 17,000 to PHP 25,000 (US$ 335-US$ 490) per square meter

Standard housing completion: PHP 25,000 to PHP 40,000 (US$ 490-US$ 790) per square meter

Cost to Renovate a Shipping Container House in the Philippines

Buying a 20-foot second-hand container will cost about 85,000 Philippine pesos, which is about US$1680. The cost of a new 20-foot container truck may be approximately PHP 180,000 to PHP 250,000 (US$4,000 – 5,600).

However, when building shipping container houses, 20-foot containers are usually used as a supplement to 40-foot containers. Because the price per unit foot of a 20ft container is actually higher. This is why it is recommended to use a 40-foot container instead of two separate 20-foot containers. And because of the need for heat preservation treatment, the height of the room will be reduced, and the height of 8'6'' (2.6m) will be compressed lower, which is not conducive to the installation of lamps, so under normal circumstances, we would prefer to choose 40ft high cube shipping container to carry out renovation of container houses.

The cost of a new 40’HC truck may be approximately PHP 360,000 to PHP 500,000 (US$8,000 – 11,200). Maybe you can consider buying a second-hand shipping container, but this requires a lot of luck, because you don't know how damaged the cargo container you bought will be, and you will need an extra sum of money to repair it. Of course, it is cheaper than buying a new cargo container. And you don't know what this second-hand shipping container has been loaded before, and you need to disinfect and dispose of it very carefully. This is just the cost of purchasing a shipping container.

In order to make it a livable space, you also need to deal with the shipping container van house, such as wall insulation and decoration of the shipping container van house, coated with spray foam insulation or panel insulation, coated with non-toxic paint, cut the container van house, install proper doors and windows, etc. This is also very expensive for the renovation container van house price, and sometimes it is even more expensive to modify a container van house than to buy a shipping container.

Since the size of the container is fixed, this makes our design has many restrictions. You can also look for other container van house solutions, these manufacturers can provide you with low-cost, customizable sizes, especially in China.

In any case, most containers are now manufactured in China, so buying from China is the cheapest and most practical option. K-HOME will provide you with a one-stop one-to-one service, allowing you to go smoothly from design, purchase, transportation to installation.

20 ft Container for Sale Philippines

We recommend that you make a better choice, contact a container house supplier who can provide a total solution for residential container house Philippines. You only need to assemble these prefabricated modular container house Philippines on site because they are prefabricated and pre-finished in the factory. The cost of a K-HOME detachable 20ft container house is cheaper than a traditional house and shipping container house renovation. Moreover, the completion of K-HOME's detachable container houses is faster. Three workers can install 4 container houses (a total of 800 square feet, 72 square meters) in one day.

Container House Price Philippines

Take the most popular container house as an example. Use a container house with a width x length x height of 3000 x 5950 x 2800 mm (10'x 20'x 9') to build a house in the Philippines. It costs approximately US$2100 (PHP 106,000) to build a container house unit.

This looks seems more expensive, but please note: This is a 20ft container house with a width of 3m (10ft), not a 20ft container house with a width of 2.4m (8ft). The floor area is 18 square meters (200 square feet), which is 4 square meters (40 square feet) more than a shipping container house. The K-HOME container house price Philippines per square meter is US$120 (PHP 6,000), and the price per square foot is US$11 (PHP 550). This is similar to a used second-hand 20ft shipping container (only the purchase cost, excluding the cost of modification), but K-HOME provides a new detachable container house, the price is much lower than buying a new shipping container house. Moreover, the transformation cost of shipping containers is very expensive, but the K-HOME detachable container house does not require transformation and additional insulation treatment. After the installation is completed, it can be directly used for residential use, and the price includes one door, two windows, lamps, switches, and so on. You don’t need to buy anything, there is no additional cost.

In addition, the container house of K-HOME is detachable and the transportation cost is lower. Compared with shipping containers, flat pack container houses, folding container houses, and expansion container houses, K-HOME's detachable container houses have more advantages for transporters and can save more sea freight. Take the flat pack container house as an example. Its top and bottom frames are fixed at 2.4m. This results in a flat pack container house that can only hold about 6 sets of flat pack container houses during packing and transportation. K-HOME container house Philippines is detachable. A 40ft shipping container can easily load 11 sets of detachable container houses, which saves a lot of transportation costs.

So, when you are considering building a container house in the Philippines, please ask for K-HOME's quotation first, and then make a decision after comparison. The specific container house price Philippines depends on your design layout and the features you want, please contact us K-HOME for a specific quotation.

Usually, we recommend that you use a modular container house Philippines with a width x length x height of 3000 x 5950 x 2800 mm (10’x 20’x 9’). This 20ft modular container house is wider and taller than a shipping container van house. This is the most popular modular container house product that has been proven in the market.

Here are some container house projects for you reference:

Prefab Container House Philippines

The Philippines has a monsoon tropical rain forest climate with high temperature and rain, large annual precipitation, high humidity, and many typhoons. K-HOME specifically manufactured detachable prefab container house Philippines.

Now, some of you may ask whether it is safe to live in a container house in the Philippines. The short answer is yes! If you choose an experienced container house supplier to manage your project, you can definitely feel safe with your prefab container house Philippines. K-HOME is honored to be your prefab container house Philippines choice. This is a container house project we have just completed in the Philippines.

Is the Container House in the Philippines Windproof & Rainproof?

We have completed modular container house Philippines projects in the Philippines. According to customer feedback, K-HOME's cabin container houses have no problems resisting the storm in the Philippines. So, you don't need to worry too much about structural integrity. Maybe you will see detachable residential container houses that are cheaper than K-HOME on the market but please carefully compare the product details and parameters to see if they can be completely preserved in the Philippine environment.

Steel Frame Structure of Container House Philippines

You can clearly see the steel frame at the bottom and top of our K-HOME prefab container house, which is much stronger than most prefab container house products on the market. Not only the thickness of the reinforced beam but also the increase in the size and number of the purlins, all of these ensure that they will not move in the high winds in the Philippines without damage. When you are looking for cheap container houses Philippines, please ask them carefully about the parameters of the steel frame.

Drainage System & Moisture-proof of Container House Philippines

The Philippines is an archipelago country, with a maritime tropical monsoon climate in the north and a tropical rain forest climate in the south. It is generally hot and humid throughout the country, with an annual rainfall of 2000-3000 mm. In such an environment, how to ensure the drainage and moisture-proof of the container house has become a top priority. In order to solve these problems, K-HOME improved the drainage system for container house Philippines. 

First, a drainage channel was installed around the roof and connected with 4 vertical downpipes. The inner diameter of the 85mm water gutter is sufficient to cope with the coming of the rainy season. Secondly, we have also improved the steel structure of the prefab container house roof. The three longitudinal purlins on the roof have two sizes. The middle one should be slightly thicker. This ensures that the container house Philippines will not retain water on the roof, but it will flow to the water gutter, and then follow the trough down into the downspout. We inspected most of the container houses on the market. Many low-cost houses do not have drainage systems and rely on natural drainage. This can easily cause rust on the outside of the walls, and the roof can easily cause water accumulation, which is not conducive to the life of the house.

In addition, we recommend that you add a double slope roof for container house Philippines, which will make it easier to deal with rainy weather and it will not increase too much cost. If your budget is sufficient, we also provide many exterior decorative panels and nano-coated wall panels for your container house Philippines, which will not only make your container house more beautiful but also have better waterproof and anti-corrosion protection performance, effectively extending the container house Service life. 

Regardingsandwich wall panels, K-HOME provides many options for container house Philippines. The thickness of the steel plate and the thickness of the insulation layer of the sandwich wall panels are optional. Contact us for customized options, please. There are also many kinds of materials for sandwich panels. K-HOME can provide EPS sandwich panels, rock wool sandwich panels, polyurethane double-sided edge-sealing rock wool sandwich panels, and PU（polyurethane）sandwich panels. Usually，we would recommend customers use rock wool sandwich panels. On the one hand, rock wool sandwich panels have significant effects on fire prevention, thermal insulation, sound absorption, and sound insulation. On the other hand, the price is relatively cheap. However, the Philippines has a lot of rain and is close to the ocean, which makes the waterproof performance of rock wool insufficient to meet the local climatic conditions. Therefore, for container houses in the Philippines, we recommend that you use polyurethane sandwich panels, which integrate load-bearing, heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation, fire protection, and waterproofing. It has very superior performance, but the price is relatively higher. If your budget is limited and it is only used as a temporary container house in the Philippines, then you can choose EPS (styrene foam) sandwich panel, which is a relatively economical thermal insulation material with good waterproof performance, which can adapt to the rainy and rainy conditions in the Philippines. But the EPS sandwich panel has poor fire resistance. Fire prevention measures must be taken when using it. It can be used in dormitories and offices. But don’t use open flames, it is not recommended to use it as a kitchen. When you buy a container house for Philippines, you must pay attention to the material of the sandwich panel wall. Different materials will cause differences in price and service life.

The wet ground also needs special treatment. Among the vast majority of container house products we investigated, there are few factories that will make targeted improvements and develop container houses for the Philippines market. Our standard products, like other products, use MGO floor (plywood) & PVC flooring leather. The PVC flooring leather has different thicknesses and colors for your choice. The MGO fireproof board (MGO board) has the characteristics of high-temperature resistance, flame retardant, sound absorption, anti-vibration, anti-insect, anti-termite, anti-mildew, anti-bacterial, anti-corrosion, non-toxic, tasteless, and pollution-free. In dry, cold, and humid weather, the performance of the glass magnesium fireproof board is always stable and is not affected by condensed water droplets and humid air. Moisture absorption and halogen return will not occur. Normally, PVC floor leather is sufficient for daily use. It has wear-resistant, non-slip, and acid- and alkali-resistant properties, and has a wide variety of colors, whether it is household, commercial, school, hospital, or laboratory.

But in order to provide better adaptation to the climate of the Philippines, we still recommend you to use cement boards in container houses Philippines. Cement board has higher density, waterproof performance, moisture resistance, flexural and impact resistance, fire resistance, and sound insulation. It is better than the MGO board. In addition, we also provide more corrosion-resistant patterned aluminum panels for you to choose from, which are generally used in kitchens and bathrooms. Of course, we also have customers who choose to lay cement panels and patterned aluminum panels throughout the prefab container house. It depends on your budget.
