My First Project

This was my very first project. At the time, I was in my fifth year as a Civil Engineering student at University of Sto Tomas (formerly, Aquinas University of Legaspi)  when the late Arch. Jess Binaday entrusted me with the structural design of a proposed cantilevered choir loft.

Designing a cantilevered structure involves significant risk—any design error can lead to failure or even collapse. To illustrate, imagine a table with only two legs: it’s inherently unstable and difficult to balance. In contrast, a four-legged table, even with weaker legs, can still remain upright.

The main loft was supported by just two columns, cleverly concealed within the existing wall. To the best of my recollection, the structure was completed around the early months of 1989—making it over 30 years old now.

Thinking about Additions?

Are you thinking of building small additions to your house? If you are, you will know that one of the essential steps to achieving this is by getting your project approved by the council. And in order for that, you will need to gather the right documents for them to assess.

Stormwater Management Optimization

What happens to Stormwater?

Think about how the water cycle works. When stormwater falls to the ground, it either streams down to the nearest body of water, evaporates, or infiltrates through the soil. 

However, when stormwater reaches man-made surfaces, such as concrete and buildings - which are often solid and level - the cycle is disrupted and stormwater runoff is increased. This is harmful in multiple ways, affecting people, the environment, and even buildings.

Thinking of Building Your Dream Home? Hiring a Project Manager May Work Better over a Building Contractor
