Building Permit Requirements, Fees, Application Forms, Procedure

How to get a building permit in the Philippines? We’re sharing here the requirements, fees, and application procedure for the issuance of building permits in the country.

After saving enough money on your bank account, you finally decided to build your dream house. So you contacted your architect friend to lay out a draft of your floor plans and house design. You realized it’s also the right time when you’re required to apply for your building permit.

What is a building permit?

A building permit is a government-issued certificate allowing an entity to construct a new or existing building in a specific location. It is also a legal document granting permission for the construction of a new house or renovation of a structure.

Why do you need a building permit?

You need a building permit because you want to comply with the proper construction of a house or a building following the requirements set by law or the National Building Code of the Philippines. You want to ensure that all the proper technical, mechanical, electrical, and structural plans for the construction of the building are met.

If you build a house or a building without permission from your municipality, the house construction will be stopped until a permit has been issued or released. You’ll receive a strict notice to apply for a permit.

Types of Building Permit:

  • Residential building permit
  • Commercial building permit
  • Revision building permit
  • Demolition building permit

Building Permit Requirements in the Philippines:

  1. Properly filled-up application forms duly signed and sealed by engineers concerned:
    • Building Permit Forms (5 copies)
    • Electrical Permit Forms (3 copies)
    • Sanitary Permit Forms (3 copies)
  2. Five (5) complete sets of Detailed Plans
  3. For construction of two-storey building:
    • Structural Design Analysis – signed and sealed by Civil Engineer at every page
  4. For construction of more than two-storey building:
    • Boring and Plate Load Test
    • Seismic Analysis
  5. Proof of Property
  6. Photocopy of Transfer Certificate if Title (TCT)
  7. Photocopy of tax Declaration of Property-lot (Certified True Copy) – 5 copies
  8. Photocopy of Current Tax Receipt (5 copies)
  9. If property is not registered under the name of the applicant:
    • Submit 5 copies of any of the following:
    • Contract of Lease
    • Contract of Sale
    • Affidavit of Consent of the Lot Owner for the construction of building/house
    • Deed of Absolute Sale
  10. Permit Billboard (0.60 X 0.90 Plywood with the following contents):

  13. Photocopy of PTR # and PRC license of all concerned engineers and architects
  14. Clearance from the DPWH if the construction is located along National Highway
  15. DOLE Clearance

Those are the usual application forms you need to gather and prepare when you’re required to apply for a building permit in the Philippines. Hiring an architect or structural engineer is very helpful in preparing your building permit documents.

Some architects and engineers will provide you with the complete sets of plans needed for your permit. Architectural firms will already provide your blueprints and process your building permit upon constructing your house or building.

Somehow, you need to pay expensive professional fees for the proper structural plans of your house or building. Hiring experts is very worth it, and you’ll have peace of mind because licensed architects and engineers will guarantee the best safety standards.

How to Get a Building Permit in the Philippines (Step-by-step Procedure)

Step 1: Get the Requirements-Checklist and Application Forms from the Office of the Building Official

The first step is gathering the complete checklist of documents you need to submit to process your building permit application. Your architect mostly knows them, but you need to get the application forms from your local municipal’s office because every document must have the official seal of your municipal’s office.

Then, your architect and engineers will be the ones who will fill out the information on each application form. They know every technical detail of the construction plan.

Step 2: Go to the Office of the Building Official and Submit your Documents

The officers will now check every form you have submitted. They will arrange the documents per set, per folder. Then, they will tell you where to go next, in this case, the Assessor’s Office.

If you’re in the city hall, they usually have windows where you have to submit each folder of each set of forms. If you’re in the province, each cubicle is generally next to each other if not in the same department.

Step 3: The Assessor’s Office will issue your Acknowledgement Slip

Go to the Office of the Municipal Assessor. They will issue your Acknowledgement Slip. It bears the date of the status of your building permit application. The result of the approval of the application is usually around 10 working days.

Step 4: Wait for the Approval of your Building Permit Application

Wait for 10 business days for the result and approval of your application. Once approved and in compliance with the National Building Code, they will print out an Order of Payment for your application for a building permit.

Step 5: Present the Order of Payment at the Municipal Treasurer’s Office and Pay the Fees

The fees for the building permit range from P6,000 and above depending on your construction size, municipality location, and assessment plan. The costs of building permits in the provinces are usually cheaper than in the cities.

Step 6: Submit a Copy of your Official Receipt to the Office of the Building Official

Photocopy your Official Receipt and provide an extra copy to the Office of the Building Official’s Releasing Section. This is where you will get your building permit.

Step 7: Claim your Building Permit at the Releasing Section of the Office of the Building Official

After 5 business days, the Office of the Building Official will grant your building permit. You can now tell your architect or structural engineer about it so you can proceed with your house construction.

  3. Hello! I am on the process of building our home. I was able to acquire a help from an old friend who have his own construction and engr services. My plan is to have a 4storey residential unit. It is really narrow with a width of 3.18 and a length of 13. My concern is that my architect is requiring me to get a mechanical design but I dont see it as one of the requirements for getting a building, zoning and electrical permit. Do I really have to get it? I am really on a tight budget and all I would like to have is a standard finish for my home and I am even willing to do all my cabinets and painting just to save more. A place enough to live, the finishing will come later.

    Any suggestions and take on this will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks and God bless

  8. Sir, is the 2 meter setback still required in Manila? I have a 50 sqm lot (3.3m x 15m) and I am planning construct a 3 storey residential unit. Can I construct the structure up to the property line. Is the 2 meter sidewalk beyond the property line already sufficient? Almost all of the units in the Manila, particularly in Sampaloc, are built up to their property line. There are even some units with canopies encroaching at least 1 meter of the sidewalk. Is this allowed?

    • (Building Code)
      SECTION 209. Exemption
      Public buildings and traditional indigenous family dwellings shall be exempt from payment of
      building permit fees.
      As used in the Code, the term “traditional indigenous family dwelling” means a dwelling intended
      for the use and occupancy by the family of the owner only and constructed of native materials such as
      bamboo, nipa, logs, or lumber, the total cost of which does not exceed fifteen thousand pesos (P
      15,000.00).

      (dont know about the 25 square meter or less, maybe its a local law) if yun ang sabi.. ituloy mo na hehe

      Reply
      • You mentioned “exempt from payment of building permit fees” if indigenous materials with max cost of 15K.

        Exempt na rin ba sa application of building permit itself, or mag-apply at kukuha pa rin ng permit, libre nga lang?

        Reply
    • there is no such provisions in the national building code that says building permit exemption, therefore kailangan talaga mag secure ng permits regardless of size or degree of construction or development. kung ang fence nga or even signages kailangan ng permit

  18. Goodmorning. We are planning to have our house renovated but one of the reqts is for all neighbors on all sides to sign permission. Napa sign na namin ung 2 neigbors (right side & back side) for their consent allowing us to for the renovation, however ung 1 neighbor namin (left side) ayaw pumirm kse gusto nya makita lahat blueprints, etc. We already provided him lahat ng floor plan, etc to assure him na wala masisira sa lot nya, firewall, etc. Anu po ba talaga objective ng permission ng neighbor kung nagcocomply naman kme? We also have registered contractor & architect for the project.
    Anu rin po reqt ng homeowner association regarding construction & permit?
    Hirap po na subjective ang maging reason para hinde pumirma ang neighbor at association.
    Kindly inform me naman po anu po ba objective ng mga permission nato?
    Salamat po.

    Reply
    • Kung interior renovation lang naman hindi na need ng neighbors consent… Ang neighbor’s consent ay para aware lang sila na may construction na gagawin… Ang hinihingi lang naman ng homeowners ay construction bond as assurance na kung sakaling may masira o mmadisgrasya ka na property. Yun ang gagamitin nila pero pag wala naman ibabalik nila sa iyo ang bond after ng construction

      Reply
      • Thank you for your reply.
        Actually po major renovation sya. Iniipit po kme ng kapitbahay kaya ayaw pirmahan ung consent nila, although ung 2 pang neighbors namin nakapirma, yung side na lang nila kelangan ng consent. More than 4x napo binalikan at yung mga hinihingi nila binibigay naman po namin. Sa consent, inassure naman po sila na kung sakali may masira sasagutin namin. Pero inassure kme ng contractor na sa project plan wala magiging problema sa firewall, etc.
        Anu po right ng neighbor na wag pirmahan yung consent? Malaki na rin po kse abala sa amin dahil pinaparent nila ung bahay nila, okay naman po sa nagrerent. Ung may ari lang po talaga nangiipit sa amin.
        Kindly enlighten me.
        Yung mga naka encounter na ng ganitong case, any suggestions or recommendation on what to do.

        Reply
        • For rent lang yung left side.. Dun din ba nakatira ang may-ari? Kung hindi naman, pwede na yung nagrerent na katabi nyo ang pumirma… Ang purpose lang naman nyan na maging aware sila na may construction na gagawin.

          Ex. In our case, may project kami sa Sucat at kailangan din namin magsubmit ng neighbor’s consent… yung katabi na establishment na nag-lease ang pumirma ng neighbor’s consent hindi mismo ang may-ari ng commercial building… Bakit hindi ang mismong may-ari ng building dahil ang tatamaan ng ingay ay yung mismong katabi namin..

        • Building Code: SECTION 1202. Excavation, Foundation, and Retaining Walls

          e. Protection of Adjoining Property. Any person making or causing an excavation to be made
          below existing grade shall protect the excavation so that the soil of adjoining property will not
          cave-in or settle and shall defray the cost of underpinning or extending the foundation of
          buildings on adjoining properties. Before commencing the excavation, the person making or
          causing the excavation to be made shall notify in writing the owners of adjoining buildings not
          less than ten (10) days before such excavation is to be made and that the adjoining buildings
          will be protected by him. The owners of the adjoining properties shall be given access to the
          excavation for the purpose of verifying if their properties are sufficiently protected by the
          person making the excavation. Likewise, the person causing such excavation shall be given
          access to enter the adjoining property for the purpose of physical examination of such
          property, prior to the commencement and at reasonable periods during the progress of
          excavation. If the necessary consent is not accorded to the person making the excavation,
          then it shall be the duty of the person refusing such permission to protect his buildings or
          structure. The person causing the excavation shall not be responsible for damages on account
          of such refusal by the adjoining property owner to permit access for inspection. In case there
          is a party wall along a lot line of the premises where an excavation is being made, the person
          causing the excavation to be made shall at his own expense, preserve such party wall in as
          safe a condition as it was before the excavation was commenced and shall, when necessary,
          underpin and support the same by adequate methods.
          f. At an early stage, and before work is commenced, a careful and accurate survey of any cracks
          in the existing adjoining owner’s premises should be made, and, where possible, photographs
          should be taken, recorded, and agreed between the parties concerned. Where necessary, telltales
          should be fixed to cracks with the object of showing any further movements during
          demolition and excavation. Tell-tales should preferably be in the form of fixed points built in on
          each side of the crack and should be capable of being measured by a micrometer or vernier
          caliper. They should be of such a nature that both horizontal and vertical movements could be
          recorded.

          BOTTOM-LINE ININFORM MO SYA. DI MO PROBLEMA KUNG MAHINA PUNDASYON NG BAHAY NYA.. GAWIN MO LANG GUSTO MONG GAWIN SA BAHAY MO.

    Question lang po, regarding firewall. Bakit po may requirement ang City Hall na kumuha ng consent letter from the neighbor for the firewall before they issue a building permit, if the firewall is to be constructed within the premises of our lot po? Paano kung hindi mag consent yung kapitbahay? Ano po ang rights namin as yung party na magpapatayo ng bahay + firewall?

    Reply
    • It is required because firewalls are common disputes between neighbors during construction. Since you are constructing on the limits of both your properties, there are possible dangers of collapse, debris on their property, adequate fire protection and such reasons. If without consent, your neighbor can complain you to the barangay or building official which then may have your construction stopped. Best is to talk with your neighbor and assure them, in writing, that you will do your part to avoid damages and inconvenience on their part, and all costs will be shouldered by you.

        • Kasama kada floor so kung 100sq.m ang first floor, 200sq.m ang 2floors, bale P200 x 200sq.m sya

          I think mahal ang 200/sq.m.. May gumagawa ng structural plans with analysis na 50/sq.m lang

          Reply
          • yes po.

            Well actually engineers have different ways of pricing. There is no rule that there is exact cost for structural analysis and design. It’s up to the client kung sino ang pagkakatiwalaan nila para sa structure nila.

          • Civil engineers has a manual of Professional Practice as mandated by their organization PICE (Professional Institute of Civil Engineers). As I understand it, it is 1.05% of total construction cost.
            They only differ as Celine says probably because most are unaware of this manual or because of engineers diving or worse, lowballing, their prices to meet competition which is very unfortunate.

    • Hi Angel…Bilang isang Civil Engineer at Designer, ang pagkakaalam ko sa mga gastusin sa preparation at paghahanda ng mga requirement for Building Permit gaya ng mga sumusunod; 1. Architectural Plans complete with Structural, Electrical, Sanitary and Mechanical (Aircon Units, etc.). Ang mga bayarin ay nakadepende sa itatayo mong bahay kung ilan floor areas nito. May mga bayarin sa mga Professional fees ng Structural Engineer, Electrical Engineer at Sanitary Engineer. May mga tinatawag na pre-requisite requirement din na dapat mong ipaghanda gaya ng Barangay Cleanrance, Homeowner;s Clearance (if meron). Mas mainam kung magsangguni ka sa iang Engineer o Architect para ma advise ka nya ng buong detalye. Tungkol naman sa bayarin, Ang office of the building official ang makapagbibigay ng saktong computation.

  43. Hi Sir,
    Instead of purchasing a ready-built Kubo (Nipa Hut) I plan on just building a small cottage at the back of our house.
    The plan is to build it from used lumber – hardwood for the load bearing elements and maybe coco lumber for the rest. Then roof it with fiber composite material.
    The structure I will sit freely on a 4 inch thick concrete slab. Total floor area will probably be 17 square meters.

    Do I need a building permit for this ? If yes , can you advise how do I do I alter the project such that it won’t need building permit anymore. This is just a DIY project for me and would really want to avoid the “hassle of
    permits.

    Thank you in advance.

  44. Good day. To be considered n sya kasi as new construction or addition.

    If yung ipapagawa mo is included dun s original floor plan mo but hindi mo p sya pinagawa, ang lalabas nun is by phasing yung ginawa mong construction last year, which is, as per building code, within 120 days lang after nung suspension or pagstop temporarily ng construction.

    But since, considered sya as addition, you need to apply it for a new building permit, since below P15,000.00 lang na cost ang pwde maexempt s pagaapply ng building permit for any construction.

    Regarding s layout, its better na to consult a professional since, gagastos ka n rin lang, why not settle for a well-planned layout.

    With the construction, tingin ko short ang budget mo na 370k for 91sqm., since ang lalabas nun,almost P4000+ lng ang per square meter mo, which is hnd mgging possible. Maybe if you can raise, and double your budget and add a liitle more, you can already start your construction, or you can do you construction by phasing, just starting with the foundation and then the ground floor.

May parang secondary subdivision road lang po ang pagitan namin, kung saan makakadaan ang dalawang maliit na sasakyan. May pag-asa po bang i-petition na ipalipat ang chapel nila. Malaki pa naman ang bakante. Salamat po uli.

  50. Greetings. Yung chapel na itinayo sa harapan ng bahay namin was not according to original plan (as to location), Di na lang po ako kumibo kasi ikako simbahan naman, umaasa akong peaceful establishment. But as years pass by nagiging problema sila sa amin. Yung mga officers nila (mawalng -galang na lang po sa mga matatanda na makakabasa nito), parang walang pinagkatandaan. Mag pala-away. Ginagawa nilang pugad ng cjhismisan at pagpaparinig ang chapel. Tapos, halos ubusin nilang ipa-putol ang mga puno sa paligid. Na-save ko lang po ang isa nung habulin ko sa DENR dahil nagsinungaling sila sa reason. Nagpatayo ng CR na walang klarong water system sa area na malapit na malapit sa bahay ko sa kabila ng protest ko. Binawalan sila ng Brgy ngunit parang walang nagawa ang Brgy dahil sa mga matatandang maldita ang prime mover. Ngayon ang nag-iisang puno na na-save ko pinanggigigilan nilang ipaputol. Diyan sila nagpapa-construct ng annex ng chapel nila sa area na malapit sa puno.
    Tanong ko po,(1) may amount po ba na required bago i-subject sila sa building permit? (2) kung parang nuisance sila sa amin, pwede ko po bang i-request na ilipat sa kabilang bahagi ng chapel nila ang construction/development? (3) kung kagaya nung CR na “lightning construction” sa bilis ang pag-construct nila, pwede po ba yang ipa-demolish?
    I was diagnosed with anxiety some years ago. At itong disagreement namin ng mga taga-chapel ay nakaka-apekto sa akin ngayon. ANO po ang mga pwede kong gawin? God bless you po.

    • Hi, setback is for structure of the house only, mean, you still have 2 meters for yards.. Kung ang requirements ng developer subdivision ay 2 meters at 2 meters din ang approved nya. You have to comply. Dahil kahit magpasa ka ng as-built, the developer will not honor the revision. At wala pong as-built for setback dahil standard po yan na kailangang icomply. Anyway, you can check the latest NBCP (National Building Code of the Philippines) for more info. Thank you.

      2. If you have a permit from City Hall they cannot stop the construction unless they will request to schedule the time of your construction. (ex. kung abala kayo sa gabi, baka pwede kayo mag-construct from 7am-6pm)

      3. No, if you mean is cost per worker. But it can affect the total labor cost kung ang target mong completion of const. ay within 2 months. There’s a possibility na maging mabagal ang transportation ng materials.

    Reply
    • What do you mean, 25 pesos per sq.m. or 25k per sq.m.? It depends kung ano ang gagawin mo. Residential ba, commercial or industrial?

      Sample: Warehouse with 1872 sq.m.

      You can charge 80k with the following scope of work:

      1. Structural Analysis and Design Calculations (5sets, signed and sealed).
      2. Structural Plans and Details (5 sets of blue prints, signed and sealed)
      3. Structural Plans in AutoCadd file.
      4. Structural Specifications (5 sets)

      Ikaw ang magpoprovide nung 1-4

      Supervision Fee of Construction not included.

      Yung iba naman, per original sheet ang charging.

      Sample: Yung design mo ng plano ay umabot ng 5shts x 2500 = P12,500.00 (kasama na ang sign & seal)

      Technical Specs & Design Analysis, pwedeng 1 lot = P10,000.00 (w/ sign and seal)

      Note: Hindi mo kasi pwedeng gamitin ang 25 or 50 pesos as basis of computation kung maliit ang area.

        • Yes. Need po ng BP for any alteration or modification. Kung hindi na kayo pinakuha ng BP sa LGU e di mas okay dahil subdivision naman kayo. Kaya lang kung hindi na kayo pinakuha ng BP dapat magbigay sila ng certification na hindi nyo na kailangan kumuha.

          In regards naman sa 9k w/ house plan, kindly ask kung kasama na ang signed and sealed ng Engr. Ask mo rin kung para san ang 7k na babayaran sa City Hall kung kayo naman ang mag-aapply ng permit sa LGU. Baka kasi under the table yan para hindi na questionin ang plano na ipapasa nyo. In addition, bago kayo makapag-apply ng BP, you have to secure first the pre-requisite clearances like Brgy., Zoning & FSEC from Fire Dept.

Hanggang ngayon 3 foundation pa lng nakatayo, nakadown na po ako nga nasa 205k, tapos ang downpayment po dapat 315k. Hindi ko po muna finull ang down kasi nong nagtanong ako sa bank for the loan financing sabi nila yong unit na gusto kung kunin wla pa sa list ng appraisal unit. Ang unit na kinuha ko is worth 1.5 m, 1 storey nagtataka lng po ako bakit ngayon wla pa din bulding permit na ang tagal na non, tapos kaya nag aalangan ako if ipapatuloy ko kasi nakahold pa din ang loan application ko sa bank. Nong sinabi ko mag back out nlng ako, ang charge daw ng building plan nasa 20k, notarial 30k, tapos may structural analysis nasa 110k, eh 1 storey lng tong bahay.. ano po ba mas magandang gawin? Di ko alam if nagsasabi ba sila ng totoo sir.

    Reply
    • Mas maganda pong gawin, maghire ka po ng lawyer at idaan nyo po sa legal basis.

      Wala pa po syang appraisal dahil hindi pa po naitatayo ang unit. Magkakaron lang po ng appraisal ang isang building from City Assessor once na ma-build.

      Then, mayroon ba kayong agreement na kapag nag-backout ang isang client ay may kailangan syang bayarang necessary fees like what you said?

      And another, pare-pareho lang ang design ng bawat unit. I think hindi mo kailangan bayaran yun dahil kahit na mag-backout ka, yun pa rin naman ang design sa bagong makakakuha.

      And also, legal ba ang nakuha nyong developer? Napag-aralan nyo bang mabuti ang terms and conditions?

    Reply
    • Lahat po ng CE ay pwedeng pumirma ng plano lang. Yes. That is right, Kapag may new plan na pipirmahan, new charging. Kaya bago kayo magsubmit ng plan sa LGU make sure na compliance to NBCP ang plano and make sure na nireview nya ang plan bago i-sign and seal para hindi nyo na kailangan ulitin ang plano. Then, kung sino ang pumirma sa plano sya rin ang pipirma sa application form for design.

      Yes. May karapatan silang magreklamo pero kung may BP na kayo wal na silang magagawa. Unless, magkaron kayo ng agreement sa time ng const or pwede din kayong pakiusapan ng Brgy. na baka pwedeng baguhin ang oras ng const. Normal lang naman ang ingay pag may const.

      Ex. From 6am – 8pm, para hindi abala sa gustong matulog.

  80. Hi, this question is on fencing permit, hope you can shed a light.

    My property is in a gated subdivision in Davao. In compliance with the developer’s requirement for fencing, I’ve submitted to them; fence plan with specifications, bill of materials, and construction cost. They likewise issued a certificate to show to the City Engineer’s office that I my fence plan presented has been reviewed and met the developer’s requirements. When I applied for the permit at the City Engineers, they asked for the same things. Is it really necessary when my property is inside the developer’s property? If the developer finds my plan in the right place and clearly did not violate any restrictions of the village, Why does it matter to the City Engineers – it’s not as if my property is along a national road or just some random area.

    Thanks,

    Reply
    • In applying Fencing Permit, whether within subdivision or not, residential or not, you have to submit the necessary requirements like BOM, plans, etc to LGU. Certification from Subdivision is just a pre-requisite requirement in applying fencing permit to the LGU.

      Mean, it like getting Building Permit, before you can apply BP you have to secure first the pre-requisite requirement such as homeowner’s certification (If within subdivision), brgy. clearance, locational clearance, fsec, etc.

      Then, in fencing permit. You will also accomplished the fencing application form, signed and sealed by Engineer.

      The fee for Electrical Permit depends on schedule of loads. But if you are applying for residential only, it can cost around 1,500.00

      Then, in applying CFEI, 10% of Electrical Fees.

Good PM, Ask ko lang po kung may right ba ipahinto ng administrator ng subdivision ang construction dahil merong hindi na-comply sa restriction nila considering na complete yung building permit at sanitary permit ko and approved yung plan ng Municipal Engineer. Nagpalagay kasi ako ng extension room sa second floor and yun ang kino-contest nila na hindi raw pwede, single detach na bahay po ito and kung i-hohold nila yung construction ko ay magkakaproblema naman ako kapag dumating ang tag-ulan, kasi yung tubig ulang bubuhos sa first floor since di pa nabububungan yung room. Ano po pwede ko gawin dito? Thanks.

    Reply
    • First, pinaalam mo ba sa subdivision admin ang gagawing extension? Kung pinaalam, bibigyan ka nila ng certification. At kapag within subdivision ang nag-aaply ng BP, humihingi ang City Hall ng Homeowner’s Certificate / Subdivision’s Certification.

      Second, may agreement ba kayong pinirmahan na katunayan na hindi ka pwedeng magextend within your property? Kung wala, you can proceed in your construction.

      Third, kung wala kayong agreement, pero ini-insist nila na hindi pwede mag-extend dahil sa rules o restriction na sinasabi nila. Bakit hindi nila ininform ang house owner (kayo) bago ito mai-occupy.
      But if you are aware to their conditions, like no extension, they have the right to stop the construction and you are oblige to follow that even you completed the permits from City Hall.

      Anyway, one of the reason why subdivision not allowing the extension because it is their design and you have to ask permission before you can make any alteration or modification.

      Sample, it’s like a condo unit, you can renovate the interior but you cannot change the exterior or even do some extension. And even you ask condo admin for your exterior alteration or extension, they will not allowing you because it’s their design to be in that way.

      Much better, you schedule a meeting with your subdivision admin to talk about what is the best thing to do as you already completed the permits and already expense for your extension project. Hopefully you will have a good conversation to settle the issue.

      Reply
      • Thank you sir. Ang sistema sir ay kelangan muna kumuha ng BP sa city hall bago nila approve ng admin yung request ko for fencing and extension, dun sa plan na inaaproved ng city hall nakadrawing na dun yung extension sa second floor which is sa understanding ko pwede naman kasi madami na ako nakitang unit na may extension ang second floor. May karapatan po ba sila ipagiba yung extension ko on my own expense considering na 80% na tapos yung extension bago pa sila nagbigay ng notice, and kung ituloy ko yung extension, do they have the right na bawiin yung unit kahit binayaran na sila ng bangko? Naka bank financing po ako, sobrang nakaka stress po talaga. Hindi po ba dapat nagcheck muna sila at nag-approve ng plano bago dalhin bago pinadala sa amin sa city hall for building permit? Maraming salamat po.

        Reply
        • Nag-submit ba kayo ng request letter sa admin for your extension, indicating the details? May receiving copy ba kayo ng inyong request?

          Nagstart ba kayo ng construction bago ma-issue ang BP? Nang marelease ang BP, nagbigay ba kayo ng copy sa admin?

          Then for clarification, you mean as per admin regulations you have to apply BP first before they will approve your extension. If that is the case, pareho kayong may pagkukulang. First thing first, the admin is responsible to review the plans first before it will submit to City Hall. Hindi pwedeng si City Hall muna bago si subdivision. You are also responsible to get their approval before proceeding to any construction.

          Nasabi mo din na, yung iba ay single detached na nagpaextend ng 2nd Floor. In this case, you can contest in legal terms pero kung wala kang katibayang nagsasabi na kailangan nyo muna kumuha ng BP bago sila mag-approve. Talo ka sa pagkakataong ito.

          I think gusto lang kayong kikilan ng admin. Bakit kung kelan patapos na ang const. saka lang sila nagbigay ng notice. Samantalang, malalaman nila kaagad kung may const. dahil delivery ng mga materials for const.

          Anyway, you can make a survey sa mga nagpa-extend. You can check kung gaano kalaki ang extension, kung para saan and what requirements they have provided kung bakit sila pinayagan.

          You also said, they want you to shoulder the expenses sa pag-giba ng extension. Both of you will shoulder.

          Then, if they are threatening you, you can also contest to return the money in full amount paid by the bank. But all in legal terms.

          • Thank you sir for your time to reply, nagbigay muna ako ng plan sa kanila for approval so yun nga may correction regarding the 2nd floor pero approved pa rin kaya derecho sa city hall for building permit, I ignored the correction since approved naman and another gastos ulet kasi may revision sa plan, so sa madalit salita naipasa ko sa kanila lahat ng requirements, nagbayad ako sa kanila ng cash bond at binigyan nila ako contruction permit without questioning the correction regarding sa 2nd floor extension, so nakapagstart kami ng construction and tinatanong ko naman yung engineer ko at mga laborer kung may nag iinspection from the admin, ni isa wala naman, until nabubungan na yung 2nd floor sa lang sila naglabas ng notice, so up to now rectification permit lang binibigay sakin to remove the extension na medyo impossible na kasi I already invest a lot. gusto ko lang sana matapos na yung construction kahit di ko na mabawi ang bond.

Kapag base po sa computation na bigay nyo earlier, almost 11M yung total, kapag minus 2M, 8M pa din po. Parang sobrang mahal po. Mas mahal pa po sya sa construction materials and labor. May bracket po ba para dun? Yung office po ng may ari ng pagagawan ng lupa ay nasa quezon city din. Naghire lang po sya ng labor at sariling bumili ng mga materyales. Pwede po ba mag-apply for exemption ng contractor’s tax yung may ari? Thank you po. 🙂

    • Hi Sir, hindi po tama ang computation mo.

      You will multiply to (point) .75%

      1,000 sq.m. x 15,000 = 15M

      15M – 2M = 13M

      13M x .75% = 97,500

      97,500 + 17250 = 114, 750

      Yes. You can apply exemption to Treasurer’s Office. Kindly submit an exemption letter attention to the Head of the Treasurer’s Office. After 1 week or less, they will provide a certificate of exemption

        • Corporation po ba ang magpapagawa?

          Kung sino po ang gagawa ng construction sya lang po ang pwedeng mag-apply ng exemption.

          Sample 1: Si Owner, naghire ng contractor, si The Builders. Kung kasama sa contract agreement ni Owner & Contractor ang pag-apply ng permit. Si Contractor ang bahalang mag-apply ng exemption.

          Sample 2: Kung si Owner ay hindi naghire ng contractor, you can still apply exemption dahil wala naman kayong Contractor.

          Kung ang mag-aaply ng permit ay yung mismong owner at hindi sya kukuha ng contractor. Pwede kayong mag-apply ng exemption dahil wala kayong contractor.

        • Kung may maapektuhan na structural sa pagtaas ng bubong, you have to apply.

          You dont have to provide BP for your extension, exempted as per NBCP. Kumuha ka lang ng Homeowner’s Clearance kung within subdivision to certify lang kung ano yung works at kung ano ang area.

          Kung mag-aaply ka ng BP, you have to secure the pre-requisite requirement such as Brgy. Clearance, Locational Clearance, Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance (.1% of Bill of Materials). At kailangan mo pang magpapirma ng plano at application forms sa Licensed Engineer. So, kailangan mo pang magpagawa ng plano at iprint sa Blueprint.

          Sa pag-compute ng Building Permit Fees, 23 pesos per sq.m.

          Yes. May fine kayo. Admin fine range from 5k-10k. (10k is the max amount, grave violation)

          Sample Breakdown:

          Project Cost: P500,000.00
          Area: 10 sq.m.

          Brgy Clearance = P500.00 (May vary)
          Locational Clearance = P12.00 per sq.m.
          Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance = P500.00
          Building Fees = P23.00 X 10 sq.m. = P230.00 + 230.00 surcharge = P460.00 + 5,000.00 admin fine = P5,460.00

          Total: P6,580.00

          Hindi pa kasama dyan ang pagpapagawa ng plano at pa-sign and seal sa licensed Engr.

    Reply
    • Case to case basis po. One of the reason kung bakit tumatagal ang process ng application ay dahil sa mga comments/remarks ng evaluator na kailangan mong icomply.

      Kung wala namang comments sa plan, aabutin ng 1 month.

      Before, I applied BP for residential in Q.C, umabot kami ng 3 months and the other almost 6 months for commercial project. May mga naka-usap din ako na mga applicants na almost a year hindi pa narerelease ang BP nila kahit for residential lang.

      Isa din sa kailangan gawin para marelease ang BP, ay magfollow-up from time to time. Kasi kung minsan hindi napapansin ang application kapag hindi napafollow-up.

      May point din na, nabayaran mo na ang BP fees, and for signature na lang ang BP pero umaabot pa ng 15days and more. At kung minsan pag releasing day na, pag pumunta ka ng umaga, hapon mo na makukuha ang BP. Mean, ganun kabagal ang taga-QC OBO.

        • Anyway, much better pa din sa Q.C kaysa sa ibang City Hall, like Manila kasi hindi nila aasikasuhin ang papel mo hanggat hindi ka nagbibigay ng SOP or under the table. Ang laging reason sayo wala ang inspector o ung evaluator.

          • It’s our law to secure BP first before starting any construction. But in some cases, like us, commercial/office project renovation. Nag-istart na kami ng construction kahit wala pang BP as long as na inaasikaso mo na ang ibang requirements or pre-requisite clearance in applying BP such as Brgy., Locational & FSEC and automatic magkakaron na ng penalty kapg nag-apply ka ng BP kasi nagstart ka ng const ng hindi pa nasecure ang permit sa OBO.

            But if you are going to construct a residential, it is better to secure BP first. Why? There’s a possibility na may magreklamo sa inyong neighbors kung maingay ang const.

    • Hindi mo po kailangan kumuha ng BP. Repair Permit only.

      As per NBCP, repairs on buildings/structures in all Groups costing more than five thousand pesos (P 5,000.00) shall be charged 1% of the detailed repair cost (Itemized original materials to be replaced with same or new substitute and labor).

      Masyadong malaki ang percentage ng assessment nila for repair permit.

      In getting BP, P23.00 per sq.m.

  98. sir i need your assistance..with regard to building permit application my property is located in severina paranaque, here’s the computation from engineering dept.of paranaque..

    1. Survey cert. P 5K
    2. Insurance P 2,480.00
    3. BP Fee P 10,000.00
    4. Fire P 8,600.00
    5. Tax P 15,450.00
    6. Electrical design P5K
    Total = P 46,540.00

    Floor area 150sqm 2 storey
    your response is highly appreciated.. thank you ..

    Reply
    • Area: 150 sq.m.
      Projected Cost/ Bill of Materials: P3M

      Barangay Clearance = P 500.00 (may vary depend on Brgy.)

      Locational Clearance = P 12.00 x 150 sq.m = P 1,800.00 (Makati Computation, may vary, other City Hall computed much lower)

      Fire (FSEC) .1% of B.O.M = P 3,000.00

      Building Permit = P 23.00 x 150 sq.m = P 3,450.00 w/o penalty (P 11,900 w/ penalty and 5k admin fine)

      Electrical Permit = P 1,500.00 (based on schedule of loads)

      Plumbing Permit = P 1,000.00 (based on unit installed)

      Insurance = may vary depend on City Hall (Other City Hall like Q.C, Makati, Pasig do not implement this).

      Contractors Tax = 150 sq.m x P 15,000.00 x .75% = P 16,875.00 (Q.C Computation), more than 2M, minus 2M, you can apply exemption to treasurer office esp. if you do not have a contractor.

      Fire (FSIC) .10% of Building Fees = P 595.00

      Occupancy Permit = P 1,500.00

      I don’t get it what is the purpose of Survey Certificate and what is the fee for Electrical Design? Kay City Hall ba kayo magpapadesign ng plano ng electrical?

      Kapag mag-aaply kayo ng BP & Fire Certificate, magsubmit kayo ng BOM worth of 3-5M, tanggalin nyo ang labor cost. BOM ang basis ng FSEC computation. Mean, kung ang total ng construction cost ay 5M, pwede nyong babaan, gawing 3M.

      Ung sa BP mo na 10k, pwedeng kasama na ang fee for sanitary and electrical and penalty (const. w/o BP).

    • No validity date but it shall expire and become null and void if the building or work is not commenced (start) within a period of one (1) year after the issuance of building permit or is suspended or abandoned at any time after it has been started for a period of 120 days.

    • Gaano po ba kalaki ang floor area mo? Anyway, you dont need to provide smoke detector.

      But you will require to provide Fire extinguisher, 1 for 1st floor & another 1 for 2nd floor.

      Emergency light, not necessarily.

      And also, wag kang kumuha ng requirements sa supplier na ibibigay ng Fire Dept. Double price yun,

      Sample:

      1 unit of Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher – 1.5k, pag sa supplier ni Fire nasa 3k… May komisyon sila dyan.

  102. Hi Sir kasama po ba ung area ng roof deck at balcony sa total floor area ng bahay?? then nag pa compute po kami sa City hall ng caloocan kung mag kano po ung BP Fee, nag initial po sila ng about 40-35 k na fee for Building permit only di pa po kasama dun ung sanitary at electrical fee..

    Reply
    • Yes. 23 pesos per sq.m

      If your total floor area is 500sq.m = P11,500 w/o surcharge

      Kapag nagstart ka ng construction ng wala pang permit ay may penalty:

      Sample: 500sq.m = P11,500 x 2 (surcharge) = P23,000 + 5k admin fine = 28k total building fees.

      Kung nasa 35k ang assessment ng Building Permit Fees, mean, nasa 1,000 sq.m. and more ang total floor area mo.

      Reply
        • Same lang po sa ibang City Hall

          Standard Computation po is:

          P23 per sq.m for Building Permit Application

          For Electrical Permit = based on schedule of loads

          For Sanitary/Plumbing Permit = based on unit installed

          You can check the unit amount in latest NBCP (National Building Code of the Phils.) thru GOOGLE.

          Kung residential area lang naman, Mga nasa 1.5k ang electrical fee & 1k for plumbing.

          Kapag nagstart ka ng const. ng hindi pa narerelease ang BP mo ay magkakaroon ka ng penalty. (x 2 + admin fine).

          Sa pag-apply ng Clearance sa FIRE (FSEC) nakabase ang payment sa ipapasa mong Bill of Materials, kung worth 3M ang const. mo, 3k ang FSEC fee.

    • First of all, before the submission of application to OBO, you will check and sign the plans. I’m wondering kung bakit hindi mo yun napansin. Kung ano ang project name na nasa title block, yun din ang ilalagay sa permit.

      Mean, 1 storey lang ang naka-layout sa plan na sinubmit for bldg. permit application.

      If that’s the case, you have to submit a new application and you have to provide all necessary requirements in securing BP for 2nd & 3rd storey like plans, forms, design analysis, boring test (for 3-storey & above), etc.

        • Saan po ba ang location ng const?

          May City hall po kasi na hiwalay ang department per discipline.

          Sample: OBO – Plumbing & Building
          Electrical Dept – Electrical Permit
          Mechanical Dept. – Mech Permit

          Kung isang section lang ang all discipline, kailangan mong ipasa ang complete plans. Kung hindi naman, pwedeng mauna ang for Building & Sanitary/Plumbing Permit.

          Or pwede ka muna mag-apply ng pre-requisite requirements for Building Permit like Brgy. Clearance, Locational Clearance & Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance. Architectural lang naman ang need na plans for this agency. Habang ina-apply mo yan, pwede ka na mag-start ng const pero pagdating sa application for Building meron ng penalty.

      Kung wala namang nabago sa loads, you dont have to provide a new one, you can give the existing certificate.

      Kung sakali, you will have to provide the requirements. Ask the LGU/city hall what requirements you have to provide to secure electrical permit for solar net metering purposes only.

        Once you submitted your application to Building Official you can continue the const. but automatic surcharge w/ admin fine.

    • Kindly ask kug ano ung purpose kung bakit may setback na 30 meters, masyadong malaki unless kung magkakaroon ng road widening… ung hindi nasakop ng setback pwede mo gamitin..

      Kung for road widening hindi mo pwede gamitin ang setback….

      san po ung specific place nyo?

        Tanong ko lang po kung may makukuha bang compensation once abutin ang bahay mo ng road widening.

    • More or less 17k kasama na ang 10k admin fine with surcharge. Pero hindi pa kasama ang professional fee for signing and sealing of plans, application forms, technical specs, bom.

      Kung hindi nasunod, kausapin nyo na lang ang inspector kung sakaling may comment sila sa plano.

  126. Hello po. Is 25K professional fee for house plan design and blueprints plus 30k to 40k for all necessary building permits = Total: 55k to 65k for a two-storey residential house in a 300sqm lot reasonable? Sa Bacolod City po. Thanks.

    • Yes for new business… including certificate of electrical inspection, etc…. May checklist of requirements ka namang kailangan i-comply pero sa ibang LGU hindi na requirements ang Occupancy Permit.

      Ung iba, ang isa sa mga hinihingi ay mechanical permit, CEI, Barangay,Locational, Sanitary

  128. ask lang po…
    magkano po kaya aabutin ng lahat ng gastos sa building permit namin?
    2storey
    26sqr meter.

    may naglalakad po kasi samin sinisingil kmi ng 25k. fair rate na po ba un?
    tnx po…

    Reply
      • 26sq.m is the total area of your two-storey house?

        Magkano po ba ang estimated project cost nyo?

        Paki-clarify na din po kung ano ang sakop ng 25k:

        1. Kung for building permit fees only
        2. Kasama na ba sa 25k ang signed and sealed ng application forms & plans

        Sample Computation: Est. Bill of Materials is P1M

        1. Barangay = P500.00
        2. Locational Clerance = P325.00
        3. FSEC (0.1% of Bill of Materials) = P1k
        4. Building Permit = P23 x 26sq.m. = P6,196.00 including surcharge and admin fine
        5. Electrical Permit = P1.5k
        6. Plumbing Permit = P500.00
        7. Legworks (Pambayad sa naglakad ng permit) = range from P5k.

        Total: P14, 521.00

        Maybe yung 25k kasama ung SOP or under the table. Dahil maliit lang naman ang area mo, I think no need for SOP.

    What if there will be changes sa size (expand) of plan upon construction, what will be the consequence?
    May mga rules ang subdivision n 2m, 2m, 2, 3m for sides allowance.
    What if naviolate tong rules na ito dahil sa change of size upon actual construction, anno po ang magiging consequence.

        Bago po kasi mag-construct ay kailangan may permit ka or on-process kung sakaling hindi pa narelease. Kindly comply na lang po. Grave Violation po yan. Thank you.

You dont need Mechanical Permit kung wala ka namang aircon or kung window type lang naman…

    • Depende po kasi ang professional.. Ung iba po 2k to 2.5k ang design fee per sht pero hindi pa kasama ang sign & seal.

      Sample: 2.5k x 5 shts of Architectural = 12,500

      Sign and seal fee = 500 – 1.5k per original sht., ung succeeding set is free of charge.

      Sample: 500 X 5 sht of Architectural (5sets) = 2.5k

      Kayo po ba ang mag-aaply ng permit o sila?

      Kung kayo po ang mag-apply, ang permit fees nyo ay 25-30k for 195 sq.m. (Building & Occupancy Permit).

  134. Hi, I would like to ask lang po..
    .
    1. Meron po ako nabili house & lot sa may Sta. Rosa Laguna kaso lang wala pa syang gate sa may parking area katabi ng bhay ko ung car port area is 12.31 sqm. pero gate lang ipapalagay ko sana and ung fence na sa harap ng bahay w/ estimated length of 3.5meters lang ang haba…

    kailangan ko pa ba kumuha ng permits para sa gate kahit sa subdivision private naman & covered sya ng lot area ko? how much if ever? what are the procedures? medyo msyado mahal po yung sinisingil sa akin ng contractor dun na gumagawa sa subdivision 90k daw ksama na window grills & mga permits…

    di po ba hindi na kailangan ng permits yun wala na ako need bayaran sa cityhall & subdivision?

    2. Plan also to extend also my kitchen para ma-cover ko ung lot area ko sa likod na may vacant space pa…dun ko na lang sana ipapalagay yung kitchen ko wala na sa loob parang magiging wala na yung kitchen sa loob… roofing lang yung extension hindi na slab…ano ano pa po ba need ko permits & how much fees pa ba need ko bayaran if ever ako magaasikaso sa cityhall?

    3. Yung carport area ko po dun sa bahay na binigay ng Developer medyo may problem din kasi kapag pinasok mo yung kotse halos hindi ka na makalabas sa sikip…pwde ko po ba ipabago yun sa developer kpag nireklamo? feeling ko parang wala kasi sa standard yung mga sukat na ginwa nila ang nasa contract ko is Lot area is 80Sq. m and Flr. area 78 sq. m 2 storey…

    4. Yung perimeter walls nila dun sa property ng subdivision is beside the SLEX… pwde o po ba palagyan ng additional fence & hallow blocks yun para tumaas? hindi kasi nila dinagdagan na ung existing na walls dun sa perimeter mga 7ft (existing lang andun) db dapat sila ngpapagwa nun kasi safety ng mga bumili ng bahay sa kanila yun…

    Hoping for your immediate reply…

    Thanks.

    FYI – for move-in na po kasi ako sana nextweek kaso madami pa rin mga minor na kailngan ayusin sila dun before ko accept ang unit… baka kasi hindi na nila gawin ung concern ko sa parking area kasi gawa na…

    • 1. No need to apply permits. Minor works, exempted. Ang kailangan mo lang i-comply ay Construction Bond (Subdivision), anyway, it is refundable in full amount kung wala kang na-damage na property..

      2. Gano po ba kalaki? Sanitary/Plumbing Permit Only. Wala pang 500 ang permit fees. Mahal lang magpagawa ng plano and professional fee ng signing Engr. Much better, kindly coordinate to your City Hall. Kung maliit lang naman, I think hindi na kailangang kumuha. At baka i-required ka rin kumuha ng extension permit for roofing.

      3. Yes. Pwede po. Standard size 12ft x 20ft.

      4. Depende po yan. Kung government po ang nagpagawa ng perimeter fence. Kailangan pa nilang maki-pag-coordinate sa government. Magastos din po, kaya isang factor na din po yun kung bakit hindi nila pinadag-dagan..

      Reply
    • Malaki po ang lot area mo. Kung same ang floor area ng 1st and 2d floor, mean, 39 sq.m each… May 41 sq.m ka pa dapat na vacant lot… Baka matulad ka sa co-officemate ko na iba ang actual lot area kaysa sa napagkasunduan. Pasukat mo po ung total lot area mo kung tama dun sa napagkasunduan nyo.

      Dapat 9m x 9m ang sukat nyan or equivalent, depende kung anong side ang mahaba..

  136. Hi Sir,

    We razed down the old house and built a new one back in 2010-2011 without a building permit (at least we couldn’t produce one). We took out insurance on the house and we got flooded recently. One of the requirements for the insurance claim is a building permit and we were told we may have to spend around 50-60K to retroactively get a building permit. Is this doable? Also, what other situations (apart from insurance claim) that you know do we need a building permit e.g. to sell a house? to use it as collateral? etc?

    Thanks for your attention and hopefully response.

    Reply
    • Yes, it is possible.

      No need building permit to sell a house or use as a collateral.

      FYI, ang building permit po ay ginagamit lang during construction. Pag tapos na ang construction wala na pong silbi ang BP. Occupancy permit na po ang kailangan mo.

          Kung sakaling ganun, magpagawa ka ng plano nung 40sq.m kasama na yung 2nd floor. I-reflect mo ung existing floor area ng 40 sq.m including yung ipapagawa mo pa.

          Pagka-submit mo ng plans then pag nag-inspect yung taga-Building Official at nakitang may existing structure (40sq.m.). Pwede nyo sabihin na hindi nyo nakunan kaagad ng building permit at dahil sa itutuloy nyo na kaya kinuhaan nyo na… Ung existing nyo, automatic yan may 100% surcharge including admin fine (max of 10k).

          San po ba location nyo?

          At dahil lot property ng father nyo ang pinagtatayuan ng structure, you have to provide CTC of transfer certificate of title ng property.

      Reply
    • You don’t need to pay for the contractor’s tax if your construction firm is registered in the area of the construction. Parang double tax ang binayad mo. This contractor’s tax are for contractors who are NOT registered in the City kung saan sila magtatayo.

      Reply
    • Wala akong basis ng computation ng contractors tax sa Manila. Magulo kasi sila….

      Q.C Sample computation

      P15,000.00 X total sq.m x 0.75% – 2,000,000.00 = answer

      15,000.00 x 50 sq.m = 750,000.00

      750,000 x 0.75% = P 5,625.00 Contractor’s Tax

      Pag umabot ang computation mo ng 3M above. kailangan mo i-minus sa 2M.

      Sample 2

      15,000 x 500 sq.m = 7,500,000.00
      7,500,000 – 2,000,000 = 5,500,000.00
      5,500,000 x 0.75% = Php 41,250.00 Contractor’s Tax

      Then, may additional pa yan na 17,250.00 in Q.C

  149. Hi.

    Bakit kaya ang mahal ng singil ng contractort sa processing ng building permit sa amin?
    Location Makati City: Pembo
    Residential ( 3 floors – 1st floor finished na, idadagdag na lang ang 2nd and 3rd floor) 45 sqm per floor.
    Hiwalay ang singil nya. Plans (PHP 30K). Building permit, Locational Clearance, at FSIC (PHP 60K).

    Bakit kaya? Salamat in advance sa response.

      Hindi yung contractor ang mag construct ng bahay. Sila lang ang mag design at maglalakad ng mga permits.

      Thanks.

    • It’s too much for a total of 90 sq.m in applying a Building Permit Only not included the application for Occupancy Permit. Isa sa mga reason kung bakit mahal ang singil for processing application ay nagbibigay ang naglalakad ng SOP (under the table) sa Building Official Engineer para mabilis lumabas ang permit at wala nang masyadong comment sa plano at the same time para hindi na din magbayad ng contractors tax… pero masyadong malaki ang 60k for 90sqm..

      Ang 60k budget is for 500sq.m project tulad ng sa amin.

        • Mura na po ung 15k for design of plans (Architectural, Electrical, Sanitary & Structural) w/ sign and seal of Arch./Engrs.

          80 sq.m

          Sample Breakdown:

          Barangay (P 500.00) – may vary

          Locational Clearance (P 1,000.00) (Q.C Computation)

          FSEC (Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance) (P 1,000.00) (0.1% of Bill of Materials – Project Cost)

          Building Permit (P 8,680.00) ( I Included the penalty – start of const. w/o BP)

          Electrical Permit (P 1,500.00)

          Sanitary Permit (P 200.00)

          FSIC (Fire Safety Inspection Certificate) (P 1,380.00) (10% of Building Fees)

          Occupancy Permit (P 1,500.00)

          Grandtotal = 12,880.00

          Reply
    • Hiwalay po talaga ang singil sa plano, dahil sila ang magdedesign at pipirma ng plano…

      At isa sa mga reason kung bakit 60k ang singil nila ay baka kasama na rin ang pag-sign and seal ng building application form (Design and incharge). Mahal po kasi ang bayad sa pag-sign and seal ng form esp. sa in-charge of const. although hindi naman ang signing engineer ang in-charge sa supervision…

    • Pa-clarify mong mabuti o pa-breakdown mo sa Contractor kung ano ang included. Kung kasama na ba sa 60k and signing and sealing ng engr., SOP, etc. I’m not sure din kung required pa kayo kumuha ng Contractor’s Tax.. If you want pwede naman kayo ang mag-apply ng permit nyo…

      Building Application
      a. Brgy. Clearance P 500.00
      b. Locational Clearance 1,125.00
      c. FSEC (Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance) 1,000.00 (0.1% of Bill of Materials, assume est. proj. cost is

      d. Building Permit 9,500.00 (P25 x 90sq.m x 100% surcharge + 5k admin fine)
      e. Electrical Permit 2,000.00

  151. hi, tanong ko lang, on-process yung building permit namin sa cityhall. however, nakita na walang scale indication sa mga blueprints (dapat daw may 1:100M). in meters naman lahat ng sukat sa plans and indicated naman. possible ba na isulat (handwriting) yung scale sa blueprints instead na mag pa-reprint and mag pa signature ulit dahil medyo time consuming.

    any other remedy for this? pwede ba isulat yung scale and then may notarized declaration from the engineer?

  154. We are rebuilding our home and we were able to secure 2 storey residential with 3rd level (open-air) building permit at Muntinlupa City. Approximately we have 145sqm. Construction is almost done, but we received a violation because we have a room on the 3rd level. My parents asked assistance from the engineer to approach the City Inspector, and settle pertinent documents needed, so they can continue and complete the construction. But I honestly feel it’s a bad idea because he was asking too much money from us (almost a price of a brand new car). Do you have any estimate of the penalty for that violation? Maximum amount for a residential house? And any recommendations on what should we do to resolve it?

    Thank you so much!

    Reply
    • FYI, during building permit application, inspector will conduct an inspection to know if the construction is already started or not… if they found out that you construct w/o building permit (not yet issued although on process) they will give you an administrative fine with 100% surcharge included in their assessment… the maximum admin fine is P10,000.00, so if your total area is 145 x P23 per sq.m = P3,335.00 x 100% surcharge = P6,670.00

      Admin Fine = P10,000.00
      Building Permit w/ Surcharge = P6,670.00
      Total = P16,670.00

      And if I’m right, you are preparing for occupancy application now?

      During inspection, if the inspector found out the actual site is differ to your submitted construction plan he must advice you to submit as-built plan to reflect the changes so he will assess additional fee for your application. And may I know the total sq.m of your room @ 3rd level? And I do not consider that is a violation. It’s a very common that your construction plan may differ to actual plan. That’s the reason why we have as-built plan to submit during application for Occupancy Permit.

      Note: Standard Fee is P23 but other city imposed P30 w/c include the electrical fee.

Like in PEZA, pag matagal ng tapos pinapaprovide lahat ng requirements… sabay ang pag-apply ng Building & Occupancy (Shortcut app), pero ang ini-issue na lang ay Permits for Occupancy (Occupancy, CEI, etc)… Ang Building permit ay ginagamit during const.

      Pumunta ka sa City Hall Building Official kung saan ka sakop at saka humingi ng chrecklist of requirements…. dahil sa matagal ng tapos yan,, as-built plan (Actual plan) na ang ipoprovide mo… magpapapirma ka sa engr or arch. ng plans, forms, specs, bom, etc.

      Kung mag-aaply ka po ng electricity. Punta ka po muna sa distributor ng electrical power. Ex. here in metro manila, we have Meralco… Humingi ka ng checklist of requirements sa kanila kung ano ang need mong i-comply. Kung isa sa mga requirements nila ay Electrical Permit & CEI, kailangan mong kumuha ng permit sa City Hall Building Official pero hindi mo na po kailangan magprovide ng building permit.

    • You mean not also included in the plan? May I know the lineal meter of additional fence?

      You have a two option:

      Option No. 1 – Get a fencing permit for additional concrete fence. It’s just P3 – 4 the cost per lineal meter or fraction thereof.

      Option No. 2 – Kapag mag-aaply ka na ng Occupancy permit magpasa ka ng as-built plan (include your additional in your as-built). The purpose of as-built is to know if there are changes from proposed to actual construction. The inspector will inspect the site and assess the necessary amount for occupancy permit, kapag nakita nila na may additional ka idadagdag na lang nila un sa assessment. Anyway, in applying Occupancy Permit, merong details dun na kailangan mong iprovide like proposed expenses to actual expenses, etc.

  167. We recently purchase in Pampanga an adjacent house and lot next to my in-laws residence and planned of demolishing the old house (recently purchase) before building a new one and at the same time do some renovations to the house of my in-laws which will include a construction of a swimming (lap) pool in between the 2 lots.

    Question: Can we obtain a single permit for the demolition of the old structure and considering that the new house will be pre-fabricated from another site and the construction to be done on site is only the site preparation (foundations and excavation and construction of the swimming pool along with some landscaping) How will this affect the building permit to be applied, being that the other property is in the name of my father in law and the other one under my wife’s.

      Building Permit for Swimming Pool Construction.

      You have to provide the both CTC of TCT, both lot plan signed by geodetic engineer and the proposed plans must be signed by both owners. You may also provide agreement between the two owners.

      Title (if owned), tax declaration, real property tax bill, project cost, picture… if demolition, no need to submit plans just the picture. Much better you go to Building Official Office of LGU. Thank you.

    Nagpatayo kami ng bahay (2 storey) nong late march na walang building permit, then nasita kami ng cityhall. Hindi naman kami pinahinto dahil yung papers namin is on process. Sa mismong inspector kami nagpatulong, siya nagpagawa ng plano cost 18k.. Then nagbayad pa kami 50,500 dahil siya na mismo mag aasikaso… And then, nagchange plan ang mother ko, from 2 storey tinuloy pa 3rd floor.. Nasita ulit kami.. Gawa raw ulit ng plano for additional bayad ulit 12k para sa plano.. And another 6k for electrical design analysis.. By the way, dumating yung building permit namin for 2 storey nong jul 5.. Natapos ang bahay (hanggang 3rd floor) early august.. October na tengga p rin Ang bahay dahil wala pa ring kuryente.
    Kahapon, galing ako city hall tinanong ko ung inspector kung may mas madaling paraan para makakuha ng permit pinakausap ako sa isang engineer.. Magbabayad daw ulit kami ng another 57k .. Inabutan daw po kasi kMi ng dole ?Hanggang ngayon iniisip ko kung bakit ganon ang nangyari.. Hindi na makatarungan.. Help naman po.. Maya punta ulit ako..

  183. Hi po! Just want to ask kung meron po Setback Ordinance sa Makati pra magpatayo ng residential apartment (located inside subdivision). May nagsbai sa amin na ung setback is 3meters front, 3meters side and 2meters back since cornered lot kami. Nanghihinayang kami na ganun kalaki ang setback knowing na pricey ang mga lupa dun sa Marikina. Thank you.

    Reply
    • Setback required only on one side.. The setback requirements are according to National Building Code of the Phils. Requirements po talaga ang setback:

      Basic Front: 3 meters

      Basic Rear: 2 meters

      Basic Side: 2 meters (setback po sa second side ay optional)

      If you want you can go to line and grade section (City Hall) to check the appropriate setback requirements where your property located. Thank you.

    Reply
    • If only 20 sq.m the total of 3 floors = exempted

      Pero kung 20 sq.m per floor x 3 floors = 60 sq.m, kailangan mo po kumuha ng permit kahit patapos o tapos na ang construction.

      Reply
    • Yes. It’s very okay to process the paper for building even it’s finished
      .
      Breakdown Sample: Quezon City Standard

      20sq.m x 3 floors = 60sq.m

      Barangay Clearance = Fees may vary (Minimum P500.00)

      Locational Clearance = 60sq.m x P12.50 = 750.00

      Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance = .1% of Bill of Materials
      Ex. Project Cost P500,000.00 x .1% = P500.00

      Excavation = P3.00 x per cu.m. = ans.

      Building Permit Fees = 60 sq.m x P30.00 x 100% surcharge = 3,600.00 (Surcharge: Const. w/o permit)

      Electrical Fees = Depend to Total Connected Load (kVA)

      Fee
      5 kVA or less……………………………… P 200.00
      Over 5 kVA to 50 kVA……………..……P 200.00 + P 20.00/kVA
      Over 50 kVA to 300 kVA…………………. 1,100.00 + 10.00/kVA
      Over 300 kVa to 1,500 kVA……………… 3,600.00 + 5.00/kVA
      Over 1,500 kVA to 6,000 kVA…………… 9,600.00 + 2.50/kVA
      Over 6,000 kVA…………………………… 20,850.00 + 1.25/kVA
      NOTE: Total Connected Load as shown in the load schedule.

      Plumbing Fees =

      a. Installation Fees, one (1) “UNIT” composed of one (1) water closet,
      two (2) floor drains, one (1) lavatory, one (1) sink with ordinary trap,
      three (3) faucets and one (1) shower head. A partial part thereof
      shall be charged as that of the cost of a whole “UNIT”.

      b. Every fixture in excess of one unit:
      Each water closet = P 7.00
      Each floor drain = 3.00
      Each sink = 3.00
      Each lavatory = 7.00
      Each faucet = 2.00
      Each shower head = 2.00

      Fire Safety Inspection Certificate = 10% of Total Building Fees
      Ex. P3,600.00 x 10% = P360.00

      Occupancy Permit = (PHP 1,000 for first PHP 1,200,000 of the project value; PHP 1,000 for every PHP 1,000,000 in excess thereof; PHP 400 for PHP 150,000 – PHP 400,000 + PHP 1,000 for CFEI).

    • Tama po yan maam,magbabayad po Kayo ng Construction cash Bond requirements po talaga yan bago kayo makakuha ng bldg.permit kasi ituturo din kayo ng munisipyo na dumaan muna sa homeowners kasi dadaan sa knila ang mga requiments na kailangan ng Munisipyo like permit and other clearances… Ex.nag cash bond ka ng 35k bale maibabalik itong kalahati sau once na natapos mo o nag comply kasa mga construction ng bahay mo i mean u follow the rules without any violation para makakuha ka ng occupancy permit otherwise yun cash bond hindi mo na mababawi until u not comply.and only 1 year to avail the cash bond kapag nag lapse it wil go to homeowners funds…that’s the legality and i give u some input coz I’ve already done this recently…

      Reply
    • Una po sa lahat, alamin mo po muna kung Presidente sya ng Homeowner’s nyo. Ang nanghihingi po kasi minsan ng const. bond ay Barangay. At siguraduhin nyo po na mayroon kayong O.R ng Const. Bond and make sure na maibabalik sa inyo ng buo kung wala namang damage after construction. Then, para sigurado ka po humingi ka po ng document re: rules & regulations kapag may construction w/in subdivision.

  188. I am buying a house near Dumaguete. I received the plans from the builder. I then asked them to change some of the electrical and water supply drawing to add hot water pipe and outlets for a water heater. The builder told me that they could not do that because of the permit process and the current permits only allow them to build the house according to the drawings.

    A Filipino friend of mine told me that the builder should be able to change the drawings and add the items I want and submit as built drawings without needing to change the permit.

    I would like to know if I have to try to get the builder to change the permits or if my friend is right and they can submit as built drawings.

    Reply
    • Sir depends po ito kung nai submit na ang Approved Drawing Plans a Munisipyo ay hindi muna ito pwede pang baguhin kasi maraming proseso mag revise ka ng whole plans at kapag itinuloy mo pa rin sya without consent ng mga inspector ng munisipyo eh baka mabigyan ka ng Violation at ma hold ang construction,.. Pero kung hindi pa po ito naipapasok sa munisipyo or hawak pa ng builders ang lahat ng documents para ibigay sa munisipyo ay pwede pa ito ma revise atleast yun drawing plans lang ang mai revise.pero kung gusto may isa akong suggestion pwede mo naman ipabago yan once na may occupancy kana pwede muna gawin ang gusto mong design sa bahy mo.yun lang po

    We are planning on building bahay kubo in Davao Oriental. Size 25’ x 35’

    I have been looking on the internet and the prices for building permits and architects plans seem very high.

    My materials come to about ₱40,000 and I am using local builder at a daily rate of ₱800

    Reply
    • What do u mean Bahay Kubo?it’s made by Bamboo or by Concrete? U can make Bahay Kubo using Concrete but it’s should be Small because of the word Kubo,am i right? Pls be specific so everyone can give u some inputs to ur query.
      Anyway Bahay Kubo is usually made by Bamboo and Woods or Good lumber but I’m confused what is 25’x35′?it’s by meters or by inch or by centimeters? If it’s by meters this is huge for bahay Kubo 25meters by 35 meters I’m pretty sure u will need a building permit.but if it’s small atleast 3meter by 5 metr Floor area and which location u want to build then it will depend.by my knowledge if ur in a province but not covered by subdivision or its just like a ordinary residential area u will only need a permission to your local barangay to inform them that u want to build an small bahay kubo so nobody will complain or anything. But if u build a large bahay kubo it’s better to inform the Municipality and i guess they’ll charge u an small amount of money it depends on ur Construction Bill of materials…

      • Hi Fehl,

        I recently bought an end lot row house at Cavite. I’m planning to construct a bungalow for my mother. I then coordinated with a civil engineer for the plan to secure a building permit. The subdivision association however advised that there’s no need for the building permit as it is under a subdivision and we just need to pay PhP500 for the construction permit. Good to know, but ‘am worried that I’m not getting the right information. I hope you can help me to make the right decision.

        Thanks so much for your time.

If your lot is in province might not be required as long you live in barangay or ordinary residential but if your lot is covered by subdivision u should contact the homeowners association for atleast a permit and u can talk to them about ur plan so there’s no need for Fencing Permit which normally coming from Municipality.

    Our house was fully contracted for almost 5 months already and dun nadin kami nakatira. Unfortunately wala padin ma present na Building permit samin yung builders and according to them, nag revised daw kasi kami ng design. In addition, nag exceed kami sa lot area, instead of 200 sqm, we occupied another 50 sqm owned by my parents but with their approval. Pero lahat naman po ng changes is meron approval nung builders namin. What is the legal consequence of this po ba and can we file a legal complain sa builders po namin because of the lack of building permits?

        • SIR/MAM MERON PO KAMI PERMIT NAKABAYAD NA KAMI PO NA BLDG. PERMIT FEES PERO NA NABAYARAN NA NAMIN NA HOLD PO ANG PERMIT PO NAMIN DAHIL MAY 1ST NOTICE PO KAMI NONG OCT. 18…PA …….MAGKANO PO ANG SURCHARGE??

          Reply
          • Kindly clarify your statement.

            You mean, nagkaron kayo ng 1st notice dahil nagconstruct kayo w/o BP.. Kung ganun ang nangyari dapat kasama na ang surcharge sa BP assessment nyo bago nyo pa iyon bayaran. Unless na lang kung nabigyan kayo ng 1st notice pero hindi kayo kaagad nagcomply.

            Maximum penalty of 10k.

            May I know where is the place?

  209. gud day po!

  211. What if the building that will be constructed is not noticeable because it will be built at the back of the house, does it require building permit? i think the biggest size is 40 square meter by 50 square meter, lot is not owned yet but residents lived there for about 40 years

  214. May I ask you. I started to build a house and got a building permit for it. I hired engineers who filed the permit. But as the constructions goes, I got dissatisfied with the job quality and felt being ripped off. I wanted to release myself on the contract based on that ground. My worries were if I will hire another set of contractor and engineers, do I need to apply for another building permit? Is building permit transferable?

  215. Hi.. my aunt house is a two storey with a roof top. It is for water tank purpose only. With 4feet high grills in 3 sides and 6 feet high on the left side. They requied that at the left side should be placed 6feet hallow blocks instead for a reason of “overviewing”. Is there any code saying that a house is not allowed because ofoverviewing even it has a right perimeter measurement from the given required? Thank you for your response.

    • The foundation and proper structural requirements won’t be so secure or the building officials might see the construction and might order it to stop if they discovered no permit

      • illegal construction,any alterations must be consulted first from the design engineers,and for information of everybody,building permits is required to become safe not only to the owner but to adjoining properties as well.

  219. Hi. My uncle already paid his architech a total of P9000 for his building permit. Is it true that he needs to pay another P3000 for an extension of a dirty kitchen? Ypur response will be appreciated. Thank you! 🙂

    • If you paid the architect for the Building Permit, checkout the Official Receipt bearing the Official Seal your Municipal’s Office. If there is extension for the project, you can inquire at the Office of the Building Official in your municipal’s office if you need to pay for that extension.

    • Please contact your Building Official or Assessor officer if you want to ask about the fees. The fees are different per project and per location. God bless!

  220. What will happen if I did not apply for a building permit as it is customary in the provinces just to build. will i be arrested or imprisoned or something or will i be penalized by a fine or will the government demolished what i built without a building permit?

    Reply
    • Hi. You won’t be imprisoned but the construction may stop until you comply especially for big houses or those 2-storey or more usually get attention. Demolishing is another thing I think if the construction is obviously against the NBC

      • mam pwede po bang mapalayas yung nakatira sa bahay pag nahuli na walang building permit yung bahay na ipinagawa? ipasasara tpos kakasuhan pa yung may ari ng bahay

        Reply
        • The Building Official will advise you to comply the necessary permits kahit tapos na ang construction. Marami kasing reasons kung bakit walang building permit ang isang structure esp. residential.

          1. Hindi nila alam na need pala mag-apply ng BP
          2. Mahal mag-apply ng BP because you have to provide plans in blueprint, signed and sealed by Engrs., etc.
          3. Nasa payak na lugar, kumbaga hindi naman nakikita ng iba. Malayo sa national road or sa city.

          • Sir ganito po ang nangyari…
            from bungalow nag extend ng 2nd floor year 2014, walang BP (Bldg Permit). nag pay administrative penalties this Jan 2017, to have BP, stating legalization of 2storey extension bale kalahati ng 1st floor area ang laki, gusto uli mag extend dun sa 2nd floor para mabuo na yung buong 1st floor area (maging same area ng 1st floor ang 2nd floor). Ok lang ba na yun ang i pass na BP sa HOA? Nagkaroon ng BP w/out completing requirements ng HOA for clearance. Ayaw rin pumirma ng katabing bahay sa consent.

  221. I availed a housing loan through pagibig and i’m planning to extend my townhouse up to the wall of perimeter fence.Is there any charges computation needed for the extension?I don’t have idea because this is my first time to experience house extension ,perimeter fence and gate construction.I appreciate a lot any tips that you will provide.Thanks and God bless.

  222. Hi!
    What if for a 4 ft high by 10 ft length fence and a gate, does it a permit as well? With engr plan and all?

    You know for those townhouse type.

    Thanks
