Calma.Basic delivers plant-made DFMA assemblies — engineered components manufactured in San Simon, Pampanga, then shipped to your lot. That is not years of traditional on-site construction.

Construction

Design anay. Problema sunod.

  • Sunod-sunod nga trades sa site
  • Panahon kag liwat nga trabaho
  • Wala sing taning nga oras
  • Nagahiwag ang presyo pagkatapos sang drawing

Nagkalat nga impormasyon. Mahinay, delikado, mahal.

Assemblies

Design-build. Isa ka sistema.

  • Plant-made DFMA components
  • Sukat suno sa inyo nga kabuhi
  • Bug-os nga Pilipinas sa sulod sang 12 bulan
  • MDCC TECH OPC — indi design-only

Isa ka assembly contract. Klaro ang dalan pakadto sa site.

What “assemblies” means

Components are designed for manufacture and assembly (DFMA): shared plant-made systems configured to your lot brief. The house arrives as an assembly system — not a craft build reinvented on every site.

What construction usually means

Traditional PH residential construction is on-site labor, sequential trades, weather delay, and open-ended timelines. Calma.Basic is built to avoid that pattern for semi-furnished homes maximum 2 storeys (residential under 15 metres).

What you still own as Owner

Not included: swimming pools, fences, gates, landscaping, solar systems, ELV systems, water tanks, village bonds, kitchen equipment, curtains, driveways, delivery to site, loose furniture (FFE). Logistics to site are for the Owner’s account. Calma.Basic covers the house system under design-build — not site works or loose furniture.

Timeline

Target delivery is nationwide within 12 months — Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao — as assemblies, not an open-ended build saga.

FAQ

  • Is Calma.Basic a DIY kit?

    No. It is a design-build DFMA assembly under Performance Based Contracting with MDCC TECH OPC — not a self-build kit and not design-only consultancy.

  • Is this the same as generic prefab?

    No. The category is Building System Architecture for Component Assembly Housing — lot-sized models, five-star ID specs, and a named design-build party — not a commodity prefab listing, and not stacked box modules.

  • What does DFMA mean?

    Design for Manufacture and Assembly — plant-made systems, least construction on site. Full guide: /dfma.
