I assume from your question, that your company has a testing laboratory which plans to implement a management system according to ISO17025:2017. The pathway to accreditation basically consists of 2 stages. Stage 1 is Implementation and maintenance. Stage 2 is application, assessment and awarding of accreditation by your national accreditation body. The costs depend on the current resources you have and the fees of your accreditation body. A big component can be the cost related to method development and procuring calibration services to assure metrological traceability.
Stage 1 starts with purchasing the standard, having personnel available to establish the processes and documented information (procedures and records), personnel to evaluate performance of activities (such as test method performance, handling complaints), perform internal audits and management to review the entire system. Here you can determine your costs through a project pan. Have a look at what Advisera can offer, and if using templates will be beneficial for your company.

Stage 2 involves applying for accreditation. I recommend you contact your national accreditation body, the Philippine Accreditation Bureau, who is listed, along with their contact and website detail, in the ILAC MRA Signatory search page at https://ilac.org/signatory-search/. You can request a quote from them.

In case you decide to implement ISO 13485:2016, following link can help to see which documentation is necessary:
... Practice (GMP) accreditation will be required for the production activities.
In any case, the confidence in the quality of the results is achieved through implementing a management system based on ISO 17025 for calibration activities. The traceability of the measurement must be ensured through a formal unbroken chain of calibrations using references traceable to international measurement standards.

... ... ments are created and maintained. GDocP has a lot of similar requirements as ISO 9001 but they have a lot of additional requirements and ISO 9001 would not be enough to cover GDocP.
GDocP is published by FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and WHO (World Health Organization) and it is not related to ISO, so other independent bodies are conducting the audit and they are called GMP regulators.
We do not have as part of our documentation toolkit any GAP analysis template. But you can look at this article for details:
Also, you can check the Annexes in ISO 13485:2016, where you have a cross-reference table between ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016.
