Looking for Advice on Building a 2-Story Home

Hello!

My parents are looking to build a 2-story house with 4–5 bedrooms (with 1–2 bedrooms downstairs) and 4–5 bathrooms. The lot is around 3,000 sqm, so we have plenty of space, but we’re not really sure where to start. I’m hoping to get some advice from people who have gone through the process.

We’re currently looking for an architect, but we also don’t have a good idea of how much it would cost to build a house this size.

For those who have built a similar home, how much did you end up spending? What other costs should we expect besides the actual construction?

Also, any advice on where to start or what we should consider when looking for an architect would be greatly appreciated. If you know of any good architects or contractors near or in Pangasinan that you would recommend, please let me know so we can look into them.

Thank you!

Anyone have a X-E5? I need advice.

I’m new to photography and just picked up the Fujifilm X-E5 kit. I’m looking into getting a lens hood and filters, mainly the PolarPro ShortStache Everyday Mist Diffusion plus CPL Filter or maybe the Urth Magnetic Essentials Filter Kit Plus+setup. Magnetic because of the convenience of popping in any filter, but the lens hood would be in the way I think. 

Does anyone here use something similar on their X-E series? I’m not really sure what lens hood works best besides the usual square hoods. I’ve seen mixed things online about compatibility with some filters and hoods.

Would appreciate any advice, recommendations,accessories, or photos of your setup. Thanks in advance!
