1. Practicality over looks 2. Keep Straight lines as straight as possible 3. Provide extra parking space 4. Don't repair cracks too early (Wait 3 to 4 years) 5. Invest in insulation 6. Know where the water is going (Make sure all slopes are going down the drain) 7. Minimize the number of floors and stairs 8. Make the masters bedroom as big as possible 9. Consider the path of the sun 10. Expect mistakes. Don't expect everything to be perfect
Consider it as a guideline Not a rule. Example: 1. Practicality of looks. A large portion of his house walls are made of glass though looks modern but impractical with our tropical weather. He basically voilated his 1st rule.
These are thought on Architecture school, that's why professionals are really important in designing our dream home. Proproblemahin pa lang nila in the future, nasolusyonan na ng mga professionals ❤
As a future civil engineer (hope to get my license this year) I am thankful Slater decided to have a RU-vid channel. These tips especially about the cracks are so helpful! Thank you so much for the very pleasing and informative video Engr. Young!
Aweeeeeee. Maybe the sweetest thing a child could ever do to their parents. Instilling the lessons they have learned and applying it all.❤️ sml 🥲❤️ Im sure your dad is so proud of you. ❤️
i love slater’s content na kahit di ko pa napapanood ng buo auto thumbs up na agad. thank you for giving good and informative content!! no pressure.. just keep doing you, sir.
When the construction of my room/ home office was finished, I noticed cracks and it's quite annoying. I'm planning to DIY the repair and I'm happy I watched this. Hahahahaha maghintay muna ng 3 years para sulit ang crack repairs.
Thank you, Slater and thanks to your dad. #10 tip really helped me calm down. We just finish the construction of our house and I see a number of things that could have been done better. The construction process was indeed a stressful experience especially that we live out of the country and had to travel several times to physically see the job progress despite the pandemic. Nothing is perfect talaga. I chose to rest my case and start enjoying our new house. I am learning a lot from your vlogs. Keep posting.
Were planning to build our dream house and this is a great guidelines...im a civil engineering graduate but never practice!! Kinakalawang na ...this is really good!! Worth to watch! Thank you
We are currently buliding our future family home and ang dami kong natututunan sa mga videos mo, Engr. 😍😍😍 none of us are well-versed in construction but because of these, may say na ko when it comes to decision making for what will be our home. 😍 thank you!
I love that you mention your dad in so many of your videos. If one day I can hear my son say "My dad taught me this..." That would make me very happy. Even if it's just "He taught me how to ride a bicycle". Then I'd know that at least I did one thing right. There is no higher accomplishment for a parent than to raise a child that they are proud of. When I grow up, I want to be like your dad.
Thanks for the tips, Engr. Young! Ground breaking of our future home is on the 18th of March all your tips are already noted. Check kaagad yung big area for the master bedroom and the facing of the sun. Yey! More tips pa po soon please. 😊
Lahi ra jud basta mga, well experienced and professional ang mag review..makatabang dako sa atong future nga perspective sa muabot nga balay salamat sir slater.
Hi there you are doing great! in all the houses i build back in the Philippines (i build more or less all rigid tropical style houses) on our properties and what i did is ..i made comfortable scale models of all of them, to see their functionalities, practicalities ..performances in sun travel, natural lights / shadows and some even for the rain water impact ... this will give you a very considerable help to understand, how it will perform and how it will be eventually when you are in the new build. This will not take you too much of effort and even gives you sort of pleasure once its done.
Practicality over looks,..thankyou!sana nauna to bago kami ngpagawa ng bahay!ngayon renovations after a year!agad agad!including parking area!and thankyou for sharing about that 3 to 4 years for the house to settle pa kasi masakit na ulo ko about some of the cracks ! Grabe dami ko natutunan,..sana next time about paints naman,..
the depth of how he talks about putting function first before aesthetics is just so unusual for an engr. kung alam mo pano magsalita mga arki mapagkakamalan mo tlgang arki to si engr slater e. Padayun, Straighter Young! 🙂👍🏻
I am planning to build our house this year and so thankful that I was able to watch your tips. This is also the reasom why I subscribed immediately. Thanks Engr.
Really Daddies knows best your dream house is So beautiful Sir Slater young I Really like the advice of your Dad about your Masters bed room god bless po
Nice tips especially having flat flooring all through out the house, basically for safety reasons, not only for the elderly but for everyone. I often see many houses in the Philippines where small steps/transitions are all over from one area to the next, I always look down lest I stumble.
Super informative! Kahit I’m not building a house anytime soon, sobrang helpful niya bc eventually all of house will build a house. Skydad!!!! Slater is the “Dad, how do I” in the Philippines! 🤗
Tama talagang maging masunurin sa nakakatanda, bakit!? kasi no matter how smart we become, they're still a lot smarter than us, through time and experience mold them.
I've recently been hooked with your guys' podcast especially with Iya and Drew because I personally enjoy helping my dad fix things around the house too and like Iya, who is also interested in "handyman" things. Anyway, after binge listening, I'm now binge watching your videos on here. Hehe.. Great content as always, keep it up!
Hello po sir Slater!..I'm a big fan of yours during ur PBB days and now Liteblock is just besides Umapad Elem. where I am teaching.You're such a very good person who always there for our school. Thank you!💓🥰
Oh wow no wonder you have a very nice house although not perfect as what your Dad said it's true nga naman hindi lahat mapeperfect!!! Grabe na amaze ako lalo dun sa window path of shades ng sunrise & sunset ganun pala yun, wow as in Wow!!! Thanks for this content Slater :) You are very lucky to have your Lola & Dads advice to the SkyPod!!!
Very helpful and practical insights which would come handy in our dream home project! Thank you for always sharing your (and your dad’s) expertise in construction! More useful content in the future! God bless! ✨
I really like your video. Very informative. And i learn a lot as a architecture student. I may not watch all your video. But every time i watch one, it is pure masterpiece.
We have a tiny home in progress in Daanbantayan. The layout is based on flow and practicality, it's how I would use the house as a solo parent with 3 young kids, also mainly because the budget for this house is what you would probably spend on insulation alone. It's very tiny. But the tips you gave are very helpful. I know your projects are high end, but would you do a budget build review or tips? Like really budget friendly. I literally planned everything down to the last window based off You Tube videos. Just trying to get this dream home done while making ends meet. I hope there weren't too many mistakes in the plans. 😭
Puhon makabalay NAKO, 💯 yrs from now, bitaw.. damu ko nakuha Kita mga video Nimo, Kinus a pa kaha ko makabalay, damgo Lang tingali... ✨⭐🙏🙏🙏 FAN niyo po ako PBB pa long, Super vote just ko nimo.. 🥰😍😘❤️💚💙
for making the master bedroom bigger, i guess it depends sa lifestyle. as for me and husband, we dont want a tv inside our bedroom or anything else kasi baka di na kmi lumabas ng room. and when hubby and i discussed kung ano mga babaguhin sa house namin, we opted to have a bigger living room since that's where we spend most of our time. thanks for sharing. i love watching your vids i learn a lot. 😉
Super duper practical advise and i am going to apply it in my future house! Lucky to have been watching you since the beginning learn a lot and been waiting in your new videos every saturday! Super Idol Boss Slater! loveet!!!!
You're really the guy, Slater. Thanks man. Been considering 9. So yong wag muna ayusin ang mga kunting cracks ang ereremind ko sa sarili ko. Patience patience patience muna 😹
true. lakas maka high end ng dating ang straight, clean lines. that's what i always tell my clients. you don't have to spend money on expensive materials. basta clean, straight lines lang.
Thanks for sharing these tips! Hope you can also share some house ideas that is near to busy streets(like wall fence, dust proof, noise reductions or anti theft house designs). Gracias, Engr. Young!
Thanks so much for your insight! I love your home and your home-building philosophy. I hope I can use you when we build our home in the Philippines one day.
