MANILA, Philippines - DMCI Homes is a trusted brand of
homebuyers not only for the beauty and benefits of homes and residential
communities carrying its name but also for their impeccable quality. The Triple
A property developer has its own quality program that ensures homebuyers are
getting their investment’s worth while enjoying a good lifestyle.
DMCI Homes not only uses the best materials from trusted
suppliers and rely on the track record of contractors for quality workmanship.
“Tests are done before we deliver each unit to make sure it
meets the standards prior to the use of the homeowners,” says Josephine C.
Isidro, head of DMCI Homes’ Quality Management Department.
Isidro is referring to the proprietary 102-point inspection
of the company from design, construction to turnover. Based on national
standards and industry practices, the inspection consists of two stages. A
specific number of tests are done for the in-process inspection and another set
of tests is for testing and commissioning.
“In condo buildings, individual units share walls, lines,
pipes, and so on. Future repair and maintenance concerns may therefore affect
not just one unit, but potentially all units in a building. Since we value
privacy and exclusivity in all our projects, we want to minimize disruptions or
disturbances to residents and their neighbors due to such concerns,” Isidro
adds.
“This is why our quality system not only checks individual
units, but also how each unit behaves in building-wide scenarios. This ensures
that the units we deliver are field-tested for actual use.”
Isidro notes that the company buyer’s guide indicates a
two-year limited warranty for workmanship issues. It is a common practice in
the industry to offer a one-year warranty only. The warranty covers all unit
deliverables such as paints, kitchen cabinets and countertops except operable
items that are subject to wear and tear due to daily use such as faucets and
door knobs.
Assuring the quality of DMCI Homes residential units and
communities is its engineering and construction arm DM Consunji Inc. (DMCI). DMCI
has almost 60 years of experience in constructing houses, factories, hotels,
resorts, hospitals and office towers. DMCI Homes encourages its own employees
to improve the quality of every residential community and condominium projects.
