Components. Installation. Delivery.
No Block is open in this view. You get the component order for this Block. Component E is a separate installation request.
Next. Choose a design
Order components
One Block. One package. Staged delivery. Review what you buy, what you supply and the written quote before payment.
Request installation
Optional installation
Component E is optional. MDCC TECH OPC contracts and invoices it. Installers work as subcontractors. A-2 and your geodetic survey are required before a quote.
Checkout stays closed until a separate agreement says otherwise. No installation price is issued here. Component E needs its own quote.
Track payment & dispatch
Open your Block for payment instructions, bank verification and stage delivery records.
How ordering works
e-con
Engineered components. Assembled into your home.
e-con means Engineered Components: a simpler way to design and order the parts of your building. Design your Block. Confirm its component package. Receive it in stages.
Start in H20, the Block Instrument. Create a Block with your budget, deed restrictions, design references and site constraints. Add site evidence, including a soil-test report, as it becomes available. Confirmed inputs guide checks; open items remain visible.
From your idea to your site
Design your Block.
- Create a Block and explore designs

Read scope, inclusions, exclusions, payment and delivery terms below before approving a quote.Components
You order the components for this design. A, B, C, and D are each one lot. Part counts come from your design’s parts list.
A-1 · AoR + FCD + IM · Unsigned
A-1 is the unsigned AoR + FCD + IM: Architecture of Record, For Construction Drawings and Installation Manual. Issued documents are emailed; the Block records sending evidence. Missing details and unreviewed instructions stay pending. Coordination checks do not establish structural capacity, MEP sizing or permission to build.
Freight
Freight is not in the component price. You pay the carrier directly.
Component E · Installation & permit processing
MDCC TECH OPC contracts with you and invoices Component E. MDCC appoints and pays the installation subcontractors. Scope and price must be agreed in writing; saving a Block does not book installation. Plan early. Mobilize after all required materials are received and checked, the site is ready, and required approvals are in place.
A–D components and agreed Component E: MDCC TECH OPC. Freight: pay the carrier directly.
Request an itemized quote for your saved Block. Staff can confirm amounts on that quote.
Before you order
- One Block, one agreed package, staged delivery. Your quote names the components, quantities, net amount, VAT and total.
- Pay MDCC for components. Pay Homeqube for instrument credits. Pay your carrier for freight. A transfer reference is not confirmed payment.
- A-1 is unsigned output. A-2 is licensed support. Optional E needs A-2, a geodetic survey and an accepted service agreement.
- Fully paid category scope is locked. Changes, cancellation, delivery claims and remedies stay on the same Block, under its accepted terms.
Read the exact quote, agreement and payment terms before accepting or paying. They record your scope, amounts and dates. Earlier accepted terms remain on their order; this page does not rewrite them. Open particulars must be agreed in writing before payment.
How the price is made
Each category is one lot: computed floor area × the rate on file × your factors. A factor is not a count of parts.
- One lot per category
- A, B, C, and D are each one lot.
- Floor area
- The square metres are the computed floor area of this design. B uses the ground floor. A, C and D use the total floor. They are not a catalog size and not a part count.
- Factors
- Storeys adjust A and C. Skin adjusts D. Glazing adjusts C and D. These factors change the lot price. They do not add parts.
- A-1 and A-2
- A-1 · Instrument output, the unsigned Block Technical Pack, comes with every Block when you approve the walk, whether or not you buy A. It is not a payment line. A-2 · Licensed sign & seal is a separate lot if you order it. Your quote states whether A-2 is separately charged or already included in an agreed installation scope.
- Not in this price
- Freight: you pay the carrier. Component E is a separate MDCC TECH OPC installation package at the original selected FCD area. A-2 and a geodetic survey are required. E checkout stays closed.
Category amounts are quoted as lots; part counts follow the drawings’ schedule. Changes need an accepted new quote; a fully paid category keeps its agreed scope.
Drawings on category A
A-1AoR + FCD + IM · UnsignedA-1 is the unsigned AoR + FCD + IM: Architecture of Record, For Construction Drawings and Installation Manual. Issued documents are emailed; the Block records sending evidence. Missing details and unreviewed instructions stay pending. Coordination checks do not establish structural capacity, MEP sizing or permission to build.
A-2Optional licensed sign & seal, billed by MDCC TECH OPC: the signed-and-sealed design set and signed as-built set at completionThe quote confirms the professional scope and reviews. Component E requires an A-2 order and a geodetic engineer’s land survey.
These drawings are not approval to build. Site evidence, professional review and permit requirements must be resolved for your project.
Appoint licensed professionals for site-specific design and approvals. Your quote states which documents are included.
Common questions
Is the budget shown my final price?
No. It is an estimate. The quote lists component lots net of VAT, then VAT 12% as its own line. A–D components and agreed Component E: MDCC TECH OPC. Freight: pay the carrier directly.
What do I need for a quote?
Save your Block. Add your site location, budget and scope requests to the quote request. Request E from MDCC TECH OPC with your A-2 order and geodetic engineer’s survey. Agree the scope, rate, milestones, professional acceptance and bond in writing. E covers permit processing; official permit fees are separate and approval remains with the authority.
Can I plan from abroad?
Yes. Explore and save your design online. Your house site stays in the Philippines. For components-only orders, you arrange an installer and site readiness; confirm delivery responsibilities with the project team.
From design to delivery
What comes with your Block?
Component E requires an A-2 order first: signed-and-sealed design support. A-1 alone does not qualify. For Component E, submit a land survey prepared by a geodetic engineer.

How components come together
- 01
Structure
The main assembly that gives the house its form. Confirm structural components and connections in the project scope.
- 02
MEP
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components. Equipment, service connections and coordination depend on the agreed specification.
- 03
Glazing
The specified glazing package, coordinated with the house openings and interfaces.
- 04
Interiors
The agreed interior components and finishes. Read the specification for what makes up the semi-furnished package.
Know the scope before you order.
MDCC TECH OPC contracts with you and invoices Component E. MDCC appoints and pays the installation subcontractors. Scope and price must be agreed in writing; saving a Block does not book installation.
Stages are not truck trips.
Component stages follow the confirmed project sequence. Delivery is four categories: A, B, C, and D. Trips can be more than four. These are material categories; Component E is the installation service. Freight to site is for the owner’s account under the agreed delivery arrangements.
An instrument, with people behind the project.
Request E from MDCC TECH OPC with your A-2 order and geodetic engineer’s survey. Agree the scope, rate, milestones, professional acceptance and bond in writing. E covers permit processing; official permit fees are separate and approval remains with the authority.
