R. E. CONSTRUCTION:

Case 2. R. E. CONSTRUCTION: It's Now or Never

When Engineer Romeo Estabillo finished his Civil Engineering


course at Mapua Institute of Technology, he took the board
examination and passed it in 1981. Wanting to start
independently, he went back to his hometown (Santiago City) to
organize his own construction firm. In his first few years of
operation, he accepted contracts for the construction of
residential houses. As he gained experience, his clients grew in
number, and even the most prominent persons in the province of
Isabela availed of his services.

At the start, he hired two assistants to help him in his daily


routine as a contractor. One of the two assistants, Mr. Silvino
Santiago, was a third year-civil engineering student who had
stopped schooling due to financial difficulties. His main task
was as draftsman. His duty was to produce all documents relating
to the physical requirements of the various contracts entered
into by his boss. Among these documents are the building plan,
specifications, bill of materials, building permit, etc. His
additional duty was to assist Engineer Estabillo in supervising
the foremen and workers at the various construction sites.

The second assistant, Mr. Romulo Mamaril, was assigned to


coordinate purchasing, bookkeeping, and other related
administrative activities.

At the third year of operations, Engineer Estabillo was already


directing operations in his newly constructed office inside his
residential compound. By this time, two more female employees
were hired to assist in the various tasks performed in the
office.

By 1994, Engineer Estabillo reviewed his company's payroll. It


indicated that he has employ six full-time civil engineers, two
draftsmen, ten administrative personnel, one messenger and one
security guard. The foremen and laborers working at the various
projects were contractual.

By June 1996, Engineer Estabillo felt that business was


continuously growing, so he will have to secure the services of
four additional civil engineers on a full-time basis. As he was
directly supervising all operations, he now feels that he may not
be able to perform his functions effectively if he will push
through with the plan. He wants to make a decision, but he is
apprehensive. He thinks operations are now more complex that
decision-making must be a little scientific. With this thought,
he pondered on how he will go about solving the problem.

Question: If you are Engr. Estabillo, what will be your action to


solve your problem? How you will implement this action?
