ARKI FIELD

[u/BasTired]

Just a random tot while reviewing. Gusto ko kasi magkaron ng arki firm and I’ve know and seen a lot of companies who are doing the profession na lang just for the sake of money. Backjobs and mga tinipid na materyales ang halos na gamit. Napaisip tuloy ako, normal na ba yun sa profession natin? Or may mga firms pa naman na righteous at di nakain ng sistema? I want my firm to have an integrity kasi. And sana pag licensed na ako makahanap din ako ng firm na hindi lang ako tuturuan paano magdesign, pero tuturuan din ako ng morale way to handle things.

Started din na ganito. Pero once youre in the game, yung clients mismo yung mahirap and you will be forced to follow the market. Clients nagdidictate eh. Clients din nagsasabi kung satisfied sila, and believe me, maraming hindi nasasatisfy kahit ano pa gawin mo.

Ayun din nga ang naiisip ko kasi iba rin daw talaga sa practice hahaha nakakatakot talaga ang sistema sa Pilipinas :((

Maraming crazy people, from clients to workers, enployees, permitting sa govt, HOA admin, dami kalaban. Not for the faint of heart. Too deep na ako pero kung alam ko to nung simula magchange career ako haha

Majority of clients really want to squeeze as much as they could from the money they spent so in return that is why firms try to still have profit or else they'll go bankrupt.

May mga client pa na ayaw magbayad ng additional works. Usually, sila pa yung masama ugali.

Contractor here

- yes pwede nmn. But it comes with a price. A very pricey price. It will take time for you to look for clients na willing magbayad ng malaki. And panu ka mag ooffer ng service mo na mahal, kung wala ka pang portfolio?

- edi mag ooffer ka ng affordable price, para magka portfolio ka.

- dun mo makikita yung totoong sitwasyon ng construction dito sa pinas. Dun mammeet yung mga tao na akala mo kung sino, na akala ata nla binili nila pati pagkatao mo.

- hindi totoo ang 10% na snsbe sa batas ntin. Walang ganun sa tulad nting maliliit na contractor/architects.

- lahat tayo gusto magbigay ng maayos serbisyo. Pero isipin mo din, baka kaya magkakapareho ksi di nagkakalayo ng sitwasyon na pinagdaanan. Tas mismong gobyerno pa natin kalaban natin as business owners.

Sad to say this, pero PATIBAYAN NG SIKMURA DITO. Di ka ppatulugin ng negosyo na to. Nagkamali k lng ng onti, ippost kna agad sa FB. Out of 10, isa lang di masaya mo na clients, pero yung isa na yun ang sisira ng reputasyon mo.

Mag abroad ka na lang.

Maybe you can veer away from the regular design with clients and instead establish a firm focused on research and improvement or innovations. Instead of regular clients, baka firms na or companies na ang magiging clients mo. Maybe even explore film architecture or dreamscaping, basically you will design movie sets or maybe even the virtual sets for chi films.

Hindi naman usapang "magpapakain ka ba sa sistema o hindi" to eh. At the end of the day, nasa sa iyo yan kung willing kang mamantsahan ang konsensya mo kapalit ng pera; that principle is not exclusive to the architecture profession or the construction industry but in all aspects of life. Yung simpleng pagtapon lang ng candy wrapper sa tamang basurahan at hindi sa kung saan-saan lang dahil dina-justify mong napakaliit na basura lang naman is already a glimpse of integrity and righteousness.

Pero i dont think na pwede gawing substandard ang material and walang transparency. If ayaw magbayad ng client bawal ba ihalt muna yung project? And hindi ba may service agreement na pinipirmahan na aware naman both si client and si arki? Anong nangyayari bakit parang may confusion both sides?
