What DMCI Means, and What It Means for Your Home
DMCI stands for D.M. Consunji, Inc., the construction company engineer David M. Consunji founded in 1954. DMCI Homes is its residential developer, so the company that sells you a condo comes from the business of building one. That shows up in three places you can check for yourself.
The name, in short
D.M. Consunji, Inc. started as a construction firm in December 1954. In 1995 the family formed DMCI Holdings to bring its businesses together: construction, mining, power and property. DMCI Homes is the trade name of DMCI Project Developers, Inc., the group's residential developer.
What a builder's background gives you
Three things follow from a developer that came out of construction. Each one is something you can check on paper or on a viewing.
-
A license an outside body grades
DMCI Homes has held a Quadruple A license from the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board since January 2017, the highest category the board issues. It is graded on financial capacity, building experience and technical staff, so it speaks to the company's capacity to finish what it sells.
-
A price you can compare
Prices are published, so you can set the total price of a DMCI Homes unit, with its monthly terms, against what the same money buys elsewhere. That comparison takes an evening, not a sales pitch.
-
Space you walk through every day
DMCI Homes plans its communities around amenities and open space, which it puts at up to 75 percent of a project's land area. That is the pool, the courtyard and the planting between the gate and your lobby, and it is the one part of a condo that cannot be added once the towers are up.
See the workmanship yourself
You don't have to take the name on trust. A few hours on a weekend is enough to check it.
Visit a finished DMCI Homes community, not only a showroom. A building already handed over to its owners shows its workmanship better than any rendering: the finish in the lobby, the state of the grounds, how the common areas have held up. Then put the total price of the unit you want next to one elsewhere and compare like for like.
Where to start
The next step is the same whichever community you have in mind: see what is available, and what it costs in total.
Ready for occupancy
Finished buildings with units still available, so you can walk the grounds before you decide.
