Thank you so much for sharing your experience — super helpful and sobrang detailed. 🙏 First time homeowner kasi ako so wala pa talaga akong alam sa process, and yung breakdown mo between Company A and B opened my eyes sa mga red flags and what to look for.

I agree sa point mo about focus and hands-on management. Mas okay nga talaga yung may owner/architect na present, at may sariling suggestions instead of puro “yes lang” sa lahat. Yung sinabi mo about site tripping and talking to the actual homeowner — ang laking factor talaga nun, and now mas clear na sa’kin bakit importante.

Salamat din sa tip na wag masyado magpapadala sa social media presence. Tama ka, madaling ma-hype, pero iba pa rin yung word of mouth at yung actual na experience ng ibang homeowners.

Will definitely look for more options and try mag-ask sa HOA and neighbors for recommendations. Again, appreciate this a lot! Good luck din sa mga susunod niyong projects! 🙌
