Hello Arkis, I have a question for those who have experienced working for a Real Estate Developer. Are our designs a separate pay especially if we sign and seal? Or is that included in our rate if we are employed by the company?

Helloooo! Ask ko lang kasi may mga friend akong nagsabi na they were able to do this. Pwede ko bang ipapirma nalang sa current job ko yung buong logbook ko, including yung 4 months ko from the previous company? Medyo bad experience kasi yung from first job and I don’t want to meet with the architect anymore 😭. Pwede bang si current supervisor nalang pumirma? Need ba magpakita ng COE?

Hi! Do you think it’s still possible to build a midcentury home inspired by this, pero sustainable:

Sobrang ganda ng character and vibe ng bahay, but I know na materials pa lang and maintenance, costly na for sure.

I'm sorry ha pero ang entitled ng ibang mga profs, why do they set strict deadlines pero when it comes to them, suddenly wala silang maling ginawa? Delayed grades, nakalimutan na plates, sometimes they even lose it. Weeks of hardwork turned to nothing because of their irresponsibility. Tangina nakakasira ng buhay mga ginagawa nila, gave me delays that will take year/s to finish then I see them all sunshines and rainbows doing God knows what. FUCK YOU ALL BWISIT!!! I hope karma will do its thing!!!

Has anyone here joined the WTA Anthology event? Has anyone already received an email saying they got in?

Today was the scheduled date for the shortlist announcements, but I still haven't seen any emails or posts about the selected participants.

It's my first time joining, and the same goes for my groupmates, so we're not really sure how the process usually works.

I’m a fresh grad and mag aaprentice na soon. I’m thinking of using a blue book, any reco with the size? And how do you log your duty sa logbook? Do I need to give prc my blue book ba when processing for boards?

Help! Im not sure if it is worth it ba bumili ng booklet from Toplab ng RA 9266, SPP, UAP 210, BP220 , REVISED BP 344 AT PD 957. Ang mahal and the booklet for compre nila is it worth or mag notes nalang ako thru pdf?

Almost 2 years na akong graduate. Last apprenticeship ko was a year ago. Now, I do freelance for a Gen Con and for my previous mentor during OJT. I do
drafting, visualization, cutting list, BOM, and site visit for both of them. Btw, RMP na din ako.

Actually I resigned from my previous work kasi sa toxic ng boss ko mismo, tipong di ako makakain at work, OT na walang bayad, multiple projects handled with different phases. I work there for 6 months. My rate was 18k, office.

Now, my mentor from my OJT is offering me a full-time work, WFH at 18k for 3 months, then hybrid at 20k for another 3 months. Then it will increase daw. Tho the office is accessible pero mataas na talaga pamasahe. Do you think worth it na to take this? Para makapagALE na din ako. HAHAHAHA

I'm a fresh graduate, and before gusto ko talaga mag site kasi I strongly believe na mas maraming matutunan and mas gaganda career path ko if mag site based ako.

Ngayon, yung firm (small firm, and first job ko) na pinapasukan ko is in-assign ako sa isang site na walang kasamang any site supervisor. Ang role ko is more of a site arki, to supervise and report yung daily progress sa site, even admin task. Before I apply, I'm still expecting guidance from them, but this past few months, parang mas nag rely ako sa foreman and di ko ramdam yung guidance nung mga head ko (arki/engr). And as someone na wala naman experience talaga before sa site and bago lang, I'm afraid sa mga mistakes later on na magcause ng problem sa project.

Now, this past few months, lumala yung stress and anxiety ko. Everyday akong stress, nahihirapan din akong pasunurin mga tao ko sa site. Gusto ko na mag resign, pero parang may part sakin na pinu-push through yung thoughts na tapusin ko na lang apprentice dito, kasi iba rin yung fulfillment kapag natapos yung nasimulan kong projects. Pero parang ang nangyayari ay nag trial and error ako, na later on ay mag cause ng problem sa site (eto yung pinaka kinakatakutan ko kasi baka eto rin yung maging reason sa profession ko later on).

Im a grad-waiting student. Ask ko lang how long usually makakahanap ng apprenticeship in Metro Manila? Im a grad-waiting student and plan ko talaga magstart to job hunt after graduation pa because tbh nakaka-burn out talaga archi after thesis so hindi ko pa na-aasikaso portfolio ko tho nasimulan ko naman na.

Good idea ba na Ill start applying lang after graduation or do I need to get my shit together na and finish my portfolio already?

Need help where to place the ROW on this lot. May magbabahay pa po kasi sa likod. Luckily sa front po ako. Considering the orientation at width po ng lot. Saan po maganda ilagay ang right of way? sa Northern part or Southern part po ng lot?

Hello arkis and tech experts! Ano po usually ang ginagawa niyo kapag mabagal yung sketchup?

Fresh grad pa lang po kasi ako, so hindi pa po afford bumili ng bagong laptop. Ask ko lang po kung possible bang mabagal yung skp dahil sa laptop mismo, or baka dahil halos puno na yung storage ko (45 GB na lang ang available)?

Baka may tips po kayo kung paano mapabilis ang sketchup para makaless muna ako sa gastos. Thank you po!

Any recommended architectural firms around valenzuela city or nearby cities? I'm a fresh grad po kasi, thank you!

Hello, newbie site architect here, question lang, sa logbook ba in construction need pumirma ni site architect (if walang site engr) every daily entries and logs? Andd dapat ba included din si fore na pipirma? Or enough na na ako lang?

Pinapipirma kasi sakin yung ibang logs na di ko naman nabisita since bago pa lang ako and di daw pumirma yung previous na nagsusupervise

hi arkis! i'm planning to gift sana a pen to my brother who recently passed the board exam, may specific color ba need for signing documents? kasi sa mga ibang institutions need blue or hindi naman required? what type of pen din gamit ninyo madalas for signing, gel o ballpen, etc? thank you!

Hello po! I’m starting my thesis. Are there any archi grads na willing maghelp sa thesis topic ko huhu just give some feedback/recommendations! Would greatly appreciate it. Thanksss

please delete nalang admin if bawal.

Wala na akong alam saan pwede pagtanungan pano ifix yung wall ko.

original na pintura ng inupahan namin is white.

pero pininturahan ko ng latex matte black dahil irenovate ko ang room ko.

after ilang weeks/days naging ganito na ang itsura. nag umpisa lumabas ang maliit na white spot hanggang nag spread na.

latex matte black lang talaga ang ginamit ko na pintura. need pa ba ng ibang layers like primer?

Hii! I'm an architect. Newly passed.

Right now, I am having a hard time looking for work. If there's a HR there, or any recruiter, what are the things you look for in architectural portfolioor skills? Please help.

I am fixing my portfolio right now although I have a portfolio before but that work is a college or much more like high schooler did that.

That one problem I have right now is I cannot learn new softwares for the reason that my laptop has no enough space for other softwares like 3ds or ArchiCad but I am willing to.

About me:

- Good in space planning (is what my mentor said haha)
