5 Critical Questions Every Homeowner Must Ask Before Signing
Smart Guide to Price Per Area (PAE) Construction Packages in Magway
Magway, Myanmar – The demand for PAE (Price Per Area) house construction packages is rapidly increasing across Myanmar.
For many homeowners, PAE packages offer a convenient, all-in-one solution: predictable pricing, simplified budgeting, and turnkey project management.
However, selecting the cheapest PAE construction package without understanding the details can lead to hidden costs, structural risks, and long-term dissatisfaction.
According to Creative Paradise Construction Co. Ltd., homeowners should ask these five essential questions before paying a deposit or signing a construction contract.

What Is a PAE (Price Per Area) Package?
A Price Per Area (PAE) package is a house construction pricing model where the total cost is calculated based on square footage. It typically includes:
- Structural construction
- Labor costs
- Basic finishing
- Standard materials
- Project supervision
While it simplifies cost estimation, transparency is critical.
5 Important Questions to Ask Before Choosing a PAE Package
1️⃣ What Brands and Material Grades Are Included?
Simply stating “cement” or “steel bars” is not sufficient.
Homeowners must clarify:
- Which cement brand is used?
- What steel grade (e.g., Grade 40, Grade 60)?
- What electrical and plumbing brands are specified?
- What tile quality level is included?
Material grade directly impacts:
- Structural strength
- Earthquake resistance
- Durability
- Long-term maintenance cost
Professional construction companies provide detailed specifications (BOQ and material list) upfront.
2️⃣ What Is NOT Included in the Package Price?
This is where many homeowners face unexpected expenses.
Common exclusions in some PAE packages may include:
- Water pump systems
- Water tanks
- Boundary fences
- Electricity meter application fees
- Landscaping
- Driveway works
Without clarification, “extra costs” can significantly exceed the initial estimate.
Always request a clear inclusion and exclusion list in writing.
3️⃣ Is There Structural Engineering & Seismic Design Calculation?
Myanmar is located in a seismic zone.
A house may look beautiful externally — but the real strength lies in:
- Foundation depth and reinforcement
- Column and beam calculation
- Seismic load design
- Soil testing consideration
Homeowners should confirm:
- Is a licensed Structural Engineer involved?
- Are seismic calculations included?
- Is the RC (Reinforced Concrete) system designed professionally?
Structural safety should never be compromised for price.
4️⃣ How Will Project Updates Be Communicated?
Not every homeowner can visit the construction site daily.
Ask:
- Will there be weekly progress reports?
- Are photo or video updates provided?
- Is there a scheduled milestone plan?
- Who is the direct communication contact?
A transparent construction company typically provides:
- Daily or weekly reports
- Milestone tracking
- Cost updates
- Timeline projections
Clear communication prevents misunderstanding and delays.
5️⃣ What Warranty Is Provided After Completion?
A professional construction company stands behind its work.
Key warranty questions:
- How many years of structural warranty?
- Is there finishing warranty coverage?
- Who handles post-handover defects?
- What is the maintenance response time?
Without warranty terms clearly stated in the contract, homeowners risk future repair costs.
Why the Cheapest PAE Package Is Not Always the Best Choice
In residential construction, the goal is not “lowest price.”
The goal is:
✔ Structural safety
✔ Material reliability
✔ Transparent budgeting
✔ Professional supervision
✔ Long-term peace of mind
Choosing a contractor based solely on low price can result in:
- Weak structural integrity
- Hidden costs
- Poor finishing quality
- Delayed project completion
