Construction worker in the Philippines: daily rates and what to ask

A construction worker in the Philippines usually costs about ₱500 to ₱1,500 a day, depending on the trade, the region and whether the job is in Metro Manila or the provinces. For a current price for your own job, describe the work on BlaBlaPrice and compare the offers that come back.

Approximate prices in Philippines, November 2026 (published labour rate guides)

What the daily rate covers

Published rate guides quote daily pay, and some discussions state that the figure excludes meals and drinking water. Before you agree, ask whether meals, water, transport and accommodation are included. The figures are daily rates, so compare offers on the same basis: per day, not per hour.

Licences for contractors

A worker who takes on a whole project as a contractor, rather than being paid by the day, should check licensing. Contractors who meet the legal, financial and technical requirements can apply for a PCAB licence from the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP). Fees run from ₱50 to ₱21,600 depending on the class, and a contractor also needs business registration with the local Mayor's permit. Ask for the licence class before you sign.

Wet and dry seasons

The Philippines has a tropical climate: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Rain stops concrete pours, roofing, plastering and outdoor painting, so plan outdoor work for a dry spell and allow extra days in the wet season. Indoor finishing work is less affected by the weather.

What to write in the request

Describe the type of work, the pay you expect (daily rate or price per job), the workplace and its city, and the schedule. Say whether you need one worker or a team, the work experience required, and whether the job is day work, a project or a contract. If you need accommodation, say so in the request. These details let sellers quote a realistic price the first time.

To get offers, describe the job in your own words in the BlaBlaPrice chat, and add a photo if it helps. The AI asks for anything missing, looks through local price lists and sellers' websites in the Philippines, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them, and the service is free for buyers. For helpers and masonry work, see General labourer and Bricklayer.
