Today land prices in the Philippines have sky rocketed, as a result more people turn to invest in condominium units, town houses and apartments. Owners of Condo units and apartment units may have a few things to take care off before getting our services for remodeling.
Unit owners must have an idea upon their house rules of deed of restrictions or any other documents by the homeowner’s associations that set out all the rules governing your condo/apartment, including whether special permissions are needed, what can be altered in the unit and what the common areas are.
If you have questions or clarification about what's allowed or what you need work permits for, ask your condo corporation/home owners association, preferably by e-mail. When dealing with any legal agreement it is best to have clarification and conversations in writing and email creates a nice and neat paper trail.
Majority of new condo associations have rules about when construction work can be done, and these times are often limited to 9 to 5 p.m. on weekdays only. Unless your work situation allows you to complete your project during these hours, you'll need to hire someone.We encourage that you make sure to get the formal approvals you need from both the city and the condo association before you begin. Your homeowners' association may require a deposit to cover any potential damage that may occur in the common areas.
Start off on the right foot by properly booking parking, the elevator access for materials (if available) and giving your condo's security, doormen or other staff a heads up on who is going to be coming and going from your unit. If your renovation involves any interruption to the building's main electrical or plumbing system, make those arrangements well ahead of time.
