What are you planning?
Choose the kind of work you have in mind. You can refine the scope later.
What kind of project?
Choose a project type to continue.
We’ll shape the scope and right professional team with you before proposing a fee.
Where will it take shape?
A location helps set context. Region recognition is only a starting point and can be corrected.
Add a city or province, or choose a region below.
Where will it sit?
Pricing region sets the broad base rate. City, Country and Coastal describe site conditions; we do not add a generic percentage that may double-count location or misprice exposure.
These dimensions help us assess layout and access and check whether a brand model might fit. They do not change the planning figure until the site has been studied.
Do you own the site?
Set the scale.
Start with the budget you have in mind. It anchors the planning picture as you choose an area, finish and design path.
How much is your budget?
Enter the amount you intend to spend. Next, tell us whether it covers construction alone or includes architectural design fees.
What does this budget cover?
Engineering and other consultants need separate scopes and quotes in either case. They are outside this early planning figure.
What development outcome are you exploring?
This is a target to test, not an approved yield.
Leave blank if the site study should establish the size.
How might the homes be arranged?
Typical levels per home
Intended ownership arrangement
This is an intention for discussion. A local surveyor and relevant authorities must confirm any land division or title route.
Access and shared services
The target count is a scenario. Zoning, frontage, access, parking, utilities and permitted yield need site-specific review. Land division and shared works require separate quotes.
What stays, and what changes?
Approximate areas help us understand the scale. Leave a field blank if you are unsure; we will measure and confirm it.
Use a positive area for the work you selected, or leave it blank if unsure.
How extensive is the existing-home work?
Where would the addition go?
Which wet areas are involved?
Choose all that apply. These need their own fitout and services scope.
Any known structural or services concerns?
The existing structure, plumbing, electrical work and any hidden damage need inspection. We do not use new-home rates to price this work.
Construction finish level
All three finish levels describe complete, livable homes. Rates are early planning guides; the floor area below responds to your selection. A builder will confirm actual construction costs, and engineering is quoted separately.
m²
Suggested floor areas
These are starting sizes for planning, not promises about the rooms that will fit. You can edit the area above.
Floor area means enclosed space across all floors, not the lot size. For example, 60 m² downstairs plus 60 m² upstairs is 120 m². Design will confirm the actual area.
Architectural direction
This sets the design language. The construction rate follows the finish level and build scope, not a preset premium for a style.
Levels
Options needing more area are greyed out using studio planning minimums. These do not confirm site feasibility. Double and Multi use provisional structural allowances; Undercroft and Basement add lower-level costs that need a site and builder quote.
Your choices match our brand model
Your home brief and site dimensions align with this starting design. Preview the perspective and floor plan, then choose the model or continue with a custom design.
Brand model
The plan and perspective are starting references. We will check site fit, regulations and the final scope before confirming a design or price.
A few lines will help us identify the right scope and professional team. Specialist work begins with a conversation and written proposal, without a residential cost model.
How can we help?
Select the furthest design stage you need. Earlier stages are included automatically. The planning total adds selected architectural fees to the construction estimate. Engineering and other consultants require separate quotes.
Your design path
Each change compares the known architectural fee with your current selection. Proposal-priced services are excluded. Site + Vision credit assumes you proceed within 90 calendar days.
Support you can request independently
Do you already have plans?
We will study the site and any existing material before confirming scope. We do not adopt or reuse another professional’s drawings as our own. If new drawings are needed, the selected architectural design stages retain their normal indicative fees; review or coordination of existing material is scoped separately.
Specialist project review
A conversation comes first.
Landscape, interiors, commercial and other unique work each need a defined scope and the right professional team. We’ll review your brief, explain the next steps and prepare a written fee proposal for the services that fit.
Site + Vision and the residential design-stage percentages are not automatically applied to this pathway.
Fees on this page are planning indications only. We will confirm scope, deliverables, and a written proposal before any service begins.

Scope and payment request
PHP 20,000.00 for one project and one site. We review your goals and supplied site information, discuss early opportunities and constraints, then deliver a concise written Site + Vision summary. This is an early direction document; surveys, permit drawings, engineering, a site visit and third-party charges are outside this fixed scope unless agreed separately.
The full Site + Vision fee is credited to Custom Design if you accept its proposal within 90 calendar days after we confirm your payment. The countdown starts on payment confirmation, not receipt upload.
Payment is checked manually. A receipt records a submission, not confirmation. We will email a confirmation within 24 business hours; weekend submissions are processed the following Monday, subject to a public holiday.
