    R.E. CONSTRUCTION: It's Now or Never

    SUMMARY

    Engr. Romeo Estabillo decided to start his own


    construction firm after passing civil engineering board exam
    in year 1981. He started accepting contracts for construction
    of residential houses with only two assistants to help him
    with the projects. As the number of clients gradually
    increase the necessity of additional workforce also increases.
    At the third year of operations, Engr. Estabillo was already
    directing operations in his newly constructed office inside
    his residential compound. By 1994, Engr. Estabillo already
    has six full-time civil engineers, two draftsmen, ten
    administrative personnel, one messenger and one security
    guard. By June 1996, he felt that business was continuously
    growing, so he plans to have four additional civil engineers
    on a full-time basis. However, due to complexity of the
    current state of the business, he wants to make decisions
    accordingly. This made a dilemma on how will he act out his
    decision.

    PROBLEM:

    1.How will Engr. Romeo Estabillo make decisions


    regarding on securing additional civil engineers on his
    firm?

    OBJECTIVES:

    1.Help Engr. Estabillo decide whether he should secure


    four additional civil engineers on his firm.
    2.State the Pros / Cons in hiring four additional civil
    engineers.
    SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS:

    Running a firm is an immense responsibility, every


    decision made has significant effect not only on the firm
    itself but also the people working under the business. This
    implies that Engr. Estabillo holds an enormous pile of
    pressure as he shoulders every decision for the firm and take
    credit to each of it as well. To help him with his current
    dilemma, Engr. Robert gave his honest opinion and
    perspective about Engr. Estabillo’s case.

    Engr. Diaz stated that running a firm has always been the
    biggest dream of every engineer, and if he was given a
    chance to be at his stand, he would also be hesitant of his
    decisions because one mistake can forfeit every hard work
    he’d give to the business. He also suggested to put things to
    consider such as: the need to add workforce, the revenue of
    the firm, and the capability to expand the business.
    Consulting will also be a great way to formulate a decision
    according to him.

    Moreover, he also gave some pros and cons of hiring


    four additional civil engineers which are listed below:

    Pros: “Work force will strengthen and improved.”

    “A big step in growing and expanding business.”

    “More engineers mean faster work and more


    projects coming.”

    Cons: “More employees to pay.”

    “Money loss might be higher than money gain


    (income).”

    “Higher risks”

    CONCLUSION:
    Upon seeing a real-time engineer’s point of view
    regarding the case of Engr. Estabillo, we can noticeably
    conclude that making decisions as a head of an engineering
    firm includes critical thinking and mindful consideration of
    involved matters. As they say, “Great power comes with
    great responsibility”. However, a great decision also comes
    with a greater risk as well as a single success comes after
    multiple failures. The result of this study suggests that Engr.
    Estabillo should secure an additional four civil engineers to
    join the firm as they expand the business.
