Given the country’s robust economy and the availabili­ty of flexible banking home loans, more Filipinos nowadays are able to finally purchase a home. This presents an opportunit­y for businesssa­vvy individual­s to engage into the business of build-and-sell.

Although financiall­y and emotionall­y rewarding, building a house for profit is a huge task that requires utmost dedication on the part of the builder.

Potentiall­y lucrative, the build-and-sell business should be thoroughly studied and carefully planned with profession­als leaving nothing to chance. Establishi­ng the target market of any project is key to a successful sale. This will allow you to determine what type of home to build.

For instance, a single-detached home in a gated community that is next to schools and commercial areas is quite popular with dual-income growing families. Homes with lush gardens and impressive gates are additional attraction­s that homebuyers are looking for as well.

Make sure to start the project with a reliable team of profession­als like the architect, engineer, contractor, and the interior decorator or designer. The team will jointly work hand in hand to properly build a home that will sell for a hefty profit.

Engaging in the building and selling of properties can be perilous and there are many pitfalls to avoid. Learn and plan as much as you can before risking your hard earned cash.

Big savings could be attained by sourcing different building materials and interior finishes. I personally consider Wilcon Depot as the ideal source with so many branches all over the Philippine­s.

Having its permanence as the country’s most prestigiou­s home constructi­on retail store, Wilcon Depot continues to achieve its goal after putting up its 38th operating store in Talisay City, Negros Occidental last month. Addressing the need of homeowners and builders in the Visayas, Wilcon is extending its products and services to the Negrenses with the same quality and assurance in building, refining, and improving their lives.

I see that the expansion of Wilcon in Talisay City, Negros Occidental is a strategic move in scaling opportunit­ies and trends after launching their new campaign, “Sustainabi­lity is the New Green” which is fitting for Metro Bacolod, being the cleanest and greenest highly urbanized city in the country. Wilcon also continues to provide solutions and promote products that are eco-friendly.

As Metro Bacolod has been tagged as the best place to live in, I believe that Wilcon has chosen the best spot in landing their business in the area, where many people will live and build their homes in a dynamic and growing city.

Wilcon Depot Bacolod-Talisay is their third store in Visayas. It was a fantastic day launching the newest store with a motorcade around the nearby barangays of Talisay City participat­ed by various suppliers and partners. After which, the eventful celebratio­n continues through the ribbon-cutting rites, store blessing, and showering of coins.

The unveiling of the store was led by Wilcon founder and chairman emeritus William Belo, SEVP-chief operating officer Rosemarie Bosch-Ong, and chief product officer Careen Belo. They were also joined by LIXIL country manager Alen Alban, Matimco Inc. president and CEO Charlie Liu, Mariwasa Sim Ceramics VP for sales and marketing Jakkrit Suwansilp, Mayor Nilo Jesus Antonio Lizares III of Talisay City and Vice Governor Eugenio Lacson of Negros Occidental.

Wilcon has been in existence quite a long time and is successful in the business industry. They always make ways possible in offering every customer a hassle-free shopping and deliv- ering high-end quality products. Staying true to their word that the company’s top priority is to help build big ideas for their clients’ home project.

Wilcon continues in making visible green tracks in the archipelag­o for the next five years aiming to have a total of 65 stores nationwide. Being persistent in reaching its goal in expanding its territory outside Metro Manila, the company recently held groundbrea­king for their slated stores this year in Cagayan De Oro, Cabanatuan, Iloilo, Silang in Cavite and Tacloban City.
