Tacloban City · Design & Build

See your home before it exists.

I design it, render it so you can walk through every room, then build it myself — so there is nobody to hand you off to when something goes wrong.

The real problem

Most contractors in Tacloban
don't see a project to its end.

I design it, I build it, and I come back after you've moved in.

  1. 01

    They go quiet mid-build

    Calls stop getting answered exactly when you need answers most.

  2. 02

    Deadlines keep moving

    "Next week" becomes next month. Then next year.

  3. 03

    The budget creeps

    No proper plan, so every change on site costs money you didn't expect.

  4. 04

    You can't picture it

    You approve a house you've only ever seen as lines on paper.

  5. 05

    Cheapest bid, costliest build

    The lowest quote hides the shortcuts you end up paying to fix.

  6. 06

    Nobody owns the whole thing

    The designer blames the builder, the builder blames the designer, and you're left carrying messages between them.

None of this is bad luck. It's what happens when the person who draws it isn't the person who builds it.

Talk to the person who does both Design, drawings, permits and construction — one team, one contract.

What I actually did

For the clients before you.

01

They walked through it before it was built.

Every room rendered in daylight and at night — kitchen, bath, bedroom, façade — so the house was approved on screen, not discovered on site.

Farmhouse residence in daylight. The same farmhouse at night. Master bedroom render.
02

Nothing was left for the crew to guess.

Every finish and fixture was settled before anyone broke ground — and the crew building it was my crew, working to my drawings.

Ask what your budget covers →
Kitchen elevation with cabinetry detail. Bathroom fixtures and finishes. Marble-tiled shower detail.
03

One number to call. Not three.

No architect to phone, then a contractor, then a foreman. The person who drew it is the person answering for it on site.

Message me directly →
Double-height loft with steel stair. Commercial car wash project. Loft kitchen with timber slat wall.
04

They still hear from me after turnover.

I hand over the keys and then come back. A finished, lived-in house is the only portfolio that actually counts.

Bedroom with inlay headboard wall. Living area with stone feature wall. Waterside pavilion at night.

How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

  1. A residence on its street frontage, the starting point of a project.
    01

    Show me the site

    Send a photo of your lot and a budget range. We talk about what is realistic before anyone spends anything.

  2. A living area rendered in full detail before construction.
    02

    See it before it's real

    I design and render it — inside and out, day and night — and we keep going until it is the house you actually want.

  3. A completed residence, handed over to its owner.
    03

    I build it

    Permit drawings, materials, crew and site supervision — all mine. You get one contract and one person answerable for it.

Start with step one It costs nothing to find out what's possible.
Planning is not the expensive part — rebuilding is.
