A Day in the Life at Arcadis Philippines

I get my Personal Protective Equipment and the company drone and go on-site to take some drone shots. I check if the airspace is clear, then make sure the footage looks great. I forgot my Health and Safety training take a drone a selfie.

Site visits are a regular in my line of work. I am part of a team that provides full QS services to a high-rise residential project. Our project also has an office tower and a performing arts theatre—how incredible, right?

I assist the contractor with their submittals, such as Work Inspection Requests and Work Activity Permits, by ensuring and securing the relevant documents and completing them on time. Read the construction plan, comprehend and coordinate.

Today, we will meet our prestigious client (real estate owner) to present the cost plan to build their desired 262m high Grade-A banking office building at Makati. After double-checking the cost plan, my team and I brief our project director on the costings.

I check my emails just before 8:00 and get myself ready for my tasks. Most of the staff are working from home. Ergo, there is much space for our team in the office.
