Recommended build — 7× U7 Pro XGS, 10G PoE++ switching

Item	Qty	Unit ₱	Total ₱	Basis	Note
U7 Pro XGS WiFi 7 access point (new)	6	22,700	136,200	verified	VAT-ex; anchored to Prowatcher Jan-2026 quoted unit price (US list $299). Negotiable to ~₱20,500–21,500 — see Vendors.
U7 Pro XGS (reused from old office)	1	0	0	reused	Existing unit; verify condition, factory-reset and re-adopt to new site.
UCG-Fiber cloud gateway / controller (reused)	1	0	0	reused	₱21,900 VAT-ex if bought new. Runs UniFi Network controller — no Cloud Key needed.
USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE switch (10× 10GbE PoE++, 400 W, 1U)	1	54,000	54,000	estimate	From US$699 list × ~77 ₱/USD-list PH multiplier. The client's 8-port idea fails on PoE: 7 × 29 W = 203 W > 155 W budget of USW-Pro-XG-8-PoE.
10G SFP+ DAC cable (switch → UCG-Fiber uplink)	1	1,200	1,200	estimate	UACC-DAC-SFP10, 0.5–1 m.
Cat6A cable drops, installed (cable, conduit, termination, testing)	8	3,500	28,000	estimate	7 AP drops + 1 spare; 193 m measured incl. slack, all runs < 45 m. Detail on the Cabling page.
Cat6A 24-port keystone patch panel + jacks	1	5,000	5,000	estimate	Labeled panel in the 4.97 m² server room; spare ports for future drops.
12U wall-mount rack + PDU + cable management	1	8,000	8,000	estimate	Houses gateway, 1U switch, patch panel, UPS shelf. Toten 9U anchor ₱5,900 (DynaQuest) + PDU/shelf.
UPS 1 kVA line-interactive pure-sine with AVR	1	12,000	12,000	estimate	APC/Eaton class, ₱12,000–30,000 range (APC BV1000I-MS verified ₱5,720 at PC Express as low anchor); ~15–30 min at ~300 W load. Upgrade to 1.5 kVA if longer ride-through wanted.
Cat6A patch cords	16	200	3,200	estimate	Panel-to-switch + AP-side, factory-terminated.
Installation, mobilization, commissioning (survey-based)	1 lot	32,000	32,000	estimate	7–8 pulls + AP mounting + controller config. Old-office quote (₱7,000) covered a single AP — do not extrapolate it. Planning number until survey-based quotes land.
Consumables / contingency	1 lot	5,000	5,000	estimate	Mounts, velcro, labels, spares.
Subtotal (VAT-ex)			284,600		Recommended 7-AP build.
12% VAT			34,152		Recoverable as input VAT if the PH entity is VAT-registered.
TOTAL (VAT-inc)			₱318,752		≈ US$5,170 at 61.62 ₱/USD.

Prowatcher's Jan-2026 old-office quote (₱59,897.60 VAT-inc for 1 AP + gateway + install) is dissected on the Vendors & Quote page — including the PoE-class error (PoE+ injector cannot power an XGS, which needs PoE++ 802.3bt).

Scenarios

Recommended — 7 AP, 10G this BOM

₱318,752

VAT-inc

7× U7 Pro XGS → ~43 devices/AP at full occupancy (300–450 clients)
USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE: 400 W PoE++ powers all 7 at nameplate with ~97 W spare for cameras/growth
All AP uplinks 10GbE; 1U rack-mounts; 8 drops incl. 1 spare
≥ −65 dBm on 5 GHz at every desk, ≥ 2-AP roaming overlap

Budget floor — 5 AP, XG-8-PoE estimate

~₱230,000

VAT-inc (~₱205,000 VAT-ex)

Locks the design at 5 APs: 5 × 29 W = 145 W of the 155 W budget — a 6th AP cannot be added, ever
60–90 clients/AP at full occupancy; congestion in the open plan
Corner coverage on a 37.5 m floor degrades toward −70 dBm in the NW meeting / SW conference corners
Zero PoE headroom for cameras, door access, or growth

Saves ~₱89,000 up front; re-cabling and a switch swap later cost more than the delta.

If desks need wired drops open question

The whole switching layer changes: 133 desks means 48-port PoE access switches (×2–3), a floor-standing rack, a bigger UPS, and 50–150 structured-cabling drops instead of 8. Budget roughly doubles. The client's own 8-port switch idea only makes sense for a WiFi-only office — this must be confirmed before any PO. Tracked on Open Questions.

US list price reference verified store.ui.com · Jul 2026

Model	US list	Implied PH street VAT-ex ≈ 1.3×	Role in this design
U7 Pro XGS	$299	₱22,700–23,300	Chosen AP — matches Prowatcher's quoted ₱22,700
UCG-Fiber	$279	₱21,300–21,900	Gateway/controller — reused, ₱0 in this BOM
USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE	$699	₱53,000–56,000	Chosen switch (400 W PoE++, 10× 10GbE, 1U)
USW-Pro-XG-8-PoE	$499	₱38,000–40,000	Budget-floor switch — 155 W caps design at 5 APs
USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE	$199	₱15,000–16,000	Rejected: caps each AP backhaul at 2.5G
U7 Pro (non-XGS)	$189	₱14,650 verified PC Express	Value alternative for low-density zones (2.5GbE, PoE+)

PH street ≈ 1.3× US list (₱76–78 per USD-of-list-price, standard authorized-import markup at 61.62 ₱/USD). Prowatcher's unit prices sit right on this curve — fair, not padded, on hardware units.

Recurring costs — not in the capex total

Primary ISP

Converge FlexiBIZ 1000/500 ≈ ₱18,000/mo estimate, or a RISE dedicated-internet quote (Cebu-strong ISP, SLA-backed — get a quote). Hand-off into the UCG-Fiber's 10G SFP+ / 10GbE WAN. ISP install is often the longest lead item in PH buildings — order now.

Backup line

₱2,500–8,000/mo estimate — a second provider on different last-mile (e.g. PLDT/Globe if primary is Converge), into a 2.5GbE port for UCG-Fiber dual-WAN failover. 150 staff cannot ride a single Cebu ISP.

5G failover SIM

5G CPE (~₱8,000 one-off) + data SIM as tertiary failover — and day-one internet if the fiber install slips past the mid-August deadline. See Network Design for the WAN plan.

Cost risks

FX drift: ±10–15% on the switch estimate The USW-Pro-XG-10-PoE price is extrapolated from US list — no PH quote exists yet. The peso is down 9.3% YoY; distributor margin plus PHP/USD movement can shift it by ±10–15%. Lock pricing at PO with 30-day validity.

Indent lead times threaten mid-August Ubiquiti PH channel stock is chronically spotty (PC Express shows U7-series out of stock). Import indent runs 2–4 weeks. Order by mid-July with written stock allocation, or the deadline slips. See Timeline.

Installation ₱32,000 is a planning number Survey-dependent by nature — the old-office ₱7,000 covered one AP and does not scale linearly. Fair Cebu range for 7–8 pulls + commissioning is ₱25,000–45,000. Treat ₱32,000 as the placeholder until survey-based quotes land, and cable while the fit-out ceilings are still open (cheapest window).

Where to buy

Authorized channel

MEC Networks Corp (mec.ph) and iConnect Technologies are the authorized Ubiquiti PH distributors — full manufacturer warranty pass-through and local RMA. Retail fallback: PC Express, IT Warehouse, Benson.ph, AWB Networks. Get stock confirmation in writing before any PO.

Avoid grey stock

Shopee/Lazada grey imports may void Ubiquiti RMA entirely — and PH RMA turnaround is slow even through the authorized channel (no advance replacement). A ₱1–2k saving per unit is not worth a dead AP with no recourse. Consider one cold-spare AP (+₱23,300 VAT-inc).

Bundle vs separate Split the decision: source hardware from the cheapest of (a) a Prowatcher re-quote, (b) MEC Networks direct, (c) direct import — and contract installation labor separately if the bundled premium exceeds ~10%. Prowatcher's hardware unit prices were fair; their install line was a one-AP call-out minimum, not a rate card. Full vendor scorecard and negotiation targets on Vendors & Quote.
