Advice on Real Estate purchasing
Nov 21st, 2007 by Inday
Nagpaplanong magtatag ng bagong business ang amo ni Inday…
Realty Agent: Sir, ito na po yung 200sq.m na warehouse na ibebenta ko sa inyo at a reasonable price… 11.2 M lang po sir..
Amo: Hmm, it seems like a good deal… Wait lang ha, tanong ko lang sa maid namin. (naks nirerespeto na ng amo ni Inday ang kanyang pag ka SME) What can you say Ms. Binayubay?
Inday: Enough with the senseless blabbering you unscrupulous scoundrel. I have findings that you have not provided us with a 200 sq.m warehouse, rather a smaller one, at only 184 sq.m. I have surveyed by pacing the lot and the use of this total station and that prism erected by my Rodman over there. (turo kay dodong na nakatayo sa kabilang kanto)
Napatunganga na lang ang amo pati ang agent.
Inday: Moreover, the truss patterns are pretty conspicuous. As the principles and theories of steel design states, the most stable and suitable shape for a truss is a triangle, yet i have seen this topsy-turvy pattern of squares littered in-between these trusses. I even witnessed several cantilever type booms, whilst their support is satisfactory, we should also consider that the surfaces they rely on for counteracting moment, since they should be rigid enough to produce a counteracting moment and force to satisfy all of the equilibrium equations. From what I see, the walls they are attached to are crumbling, I even doubt if they are spliced properly in the concrete. In addition to this, you have not used an anti-rust agent, or even an activated carbon wash to prevent and remove rust from most of your structure’s vertical support members.
Tuluyang nang dumugo ang ilong ng realty agent. Pero di pa tapos si Inday…
Inday: Also, as the building code suggests in the article on sloping ground, it is required that only a 10% slope or less be used for the flooring level, but to my knowledge, this is not a 10% slope, rather a 20% slope, that may bring about accidents to workers that will be coming and working in this area. To top it all off, the steel has sheered through, have you not calculated the wind load upon the roof aside from the dead and live loads that grace the area? as you can see…
Inilabas na ni Inday ang kanyang Macbook.
Inday: In this Program called STAAD, we can see how your structure will react to certain events. We can see here that even just a mild 30kph wind with the area load of 1KiloNewton may knock down this warehouse.
But wait, theres more…
Inday: In addition, the 11.2 M price range is outrageous. As I have heard from the municipal engineer of this area, the lot this structure is sitting on cost just about 15,000 pesos per sq.m only, bringing in a property tag of 2,760,000 pesos. Moreover, I believe that the construction of this structure would not sum up to the remaining 8,440,000 pesos, rather just up to my estimate of 2 M. With the realty tax of 50% for industrial-oriented lots, we reach a net price of 7,140,000 pesos.
Inday: Now, as you can see, other than that, the appraisal of the engineers aside from me that I consulted only bring the value a little higher than this on-site appraisal that I just did. Now isn’t it unfair to ask 11.2 M from us when at most, you’ll most probably fetch around 8 million at most for this dingy property. Your scam is ridiculous, tormenting weasel. Be gone, or I will have to charge you with lawsuit of estafa, malpractice, and numerous offenses against the building code of the Philippines as provisioned by the P.D. 220 and enacted by R.A. 6541 under the title “The National Building Code of the Philippines”….
Biglang nawala ang Realty Agent
Amo: Whoa… *laglag panga*
Inday: And from here, I rest my case…

I want you to be a member of my cabinet. That is, of course, you concur.
Such wisdom bestowed upon you humbles me and my position.
I’ll be expecting a positive response from you.

Erratum:
@ktekjoy
Tama po ktekjoy, its BP… sa Pagkakaalala ko si late President Marcos ang gumawa nito, making it into a “batas Pambansa” number 220. about dun sa PD 1096, yep its the building code, with everything in it. tapos yung RA 6541 is the Act to Ordain a National building code. without the Act to Ordain, there would have been no building code, or if there would be, it will be drafted from the building code of the united states.
@marabs
AYuuun.. Civl/geodethic ka noh… kala ko walang makakapasin… XD Idol, pede paturo? XD I forgot yung size ng ware house eh.. XD I dont read my building code anymore… XD tapos ko na xa.. so far di ko pala namemorize yung minimum floor area for a warehouse at chaka yung volume in space per head for a space to be livable, which is if i remember it right eh mga 3 cu. m tama po ba?
@Annunaki
wahah… ayoko bumili ng bootleg na staad, nareraid… XD babaklasin yung computer, kukunin yung HD, sasampahan ka ng offense against the IRR of the Anti-Piracy bill na makukulong yung perpetrator ng not less than three months i think and will fine 300,000 php. if i remember it right.. I dont have a good memory… XD
I’ll check my figures next time.. thanks for your comments po.. btw, I’m just a junior CE student sa isang school na ayaw magpaadvertise, kaya di ko maxado memorized yung mga figures…. XD tae i hate this… magjojournalism nalang ako… XD

to dudongdaistorker:
Gusto ko sanang mag-Engg pero hindi un ang first choice kong course sa first choice kong university. Though Engg sana ang course ko kung dun ako sa fourth choice kong university pumasok. Kaya ang kinuha ko na lang is Business Ad kasi un ang first choice kong course sa first choice kong univ!
And since investments ang “forte” ng mga studyante sa course ko, having been through a Feasibility Studies course, I know at least the basics of purchasing or canvasing for those non-current assets such as land and building.
Mind you, the basics only
Na-eestimate ko lang kung anong size ng isang square meter syempre kelangan un para malaman kung feasible ba isang project
Punta ka sa mga buy and sell sites then look for Real Estate Properties if you like to check the market figures.
Kudos!
