Designing and building a house in Cagayan de Oro City is more than just constructing a structure—it’s about creating a home tailored to your lifestyle, future goals, and the unique local environment of the “City of Golden Friendship.” Whether you’re an OFW looking to invest in your dream home, a local family planning for expansion, or a couple ready to settle down, understanding the design-build process is essential.
Why Choose the Design-Build Approach in CDO?
Unlike the traditional method where you hire separate firms for design and construction, the design-build process offers a one-team, one-vision solution. This streamlined approach saves time, avoids miscommunication, and ensures accountability throughout your house construction journey.
Here in Cagayan de Oro, trusted names like JMG Construction & General Merchandise have set the bar high by offering both architectural design and construction services under one roof.
