Engr. Rey Incorporado came and I had the chance to ask him about the distance of the grooving as well as those particular parts of the building which will be placed with grooving. He instructed me and provided with details of the areas to be placed with grooving tiles. He also suggested to tour us to inside Cebu Doctor’s University, just adjacent to the CDU Dormitory Project. We had a short tour inside CDU and experienced its modernized interior design which looked like a mall rather than a university. We got to see their two-court gymnasium, the 2000-seater theater, rooms and laboratories and their high mirror ceiling in the main entrance lobby. It was such a splendid experienced in such a reputable university.
The whole day was filled with the following tasks:
- Estimate Grooving. After the instructions and details given by Engr. Incorporado, the design consultant of the project, I edited the estimate of the grooving of three buildings. The estimated linear meter grooving was more or less 1,750 meters. It was way smaller than the previos estimated linear meter which was more or less 3000 meters. My estimate was subject to checking by the Site Engineer.
- Inspection on Building 2. I had another inspection on building 2 to report what was lacking for the Site Engineer to follow up what should be done since the rooms are subject for turn over. There were still minor details lacking which need further attention by the lead man. The lead man stated that he will accomplish everything the soonest possible time.

The whole day was filled with the following task:
- Prepare Billing for the Sub-contractor of Water-Proofing. This week was the starting week of the sub-contractor of water-proofing. There work is to apply water-proofing materials on the floor of the toilet and bathroom, gutter and all those which needs to water-proofed in the three buildings. With the saved format in the computer, I just edited some few details which includes the name of the sub-contractor, the name of the Project and some few more details. I then inputed the necessary data, the scope of work with respective percentage of the total accomplishment, the percentage accomplished this week, the respective amount of each accomplishment and the total amount billed. This will be signed by the Project Architect assigned.
During the Afternoon, I decided to have an inspection on building 2 to observe the accomplishments made. There were still rooms incompletely plastered. Concrete Hollow Blocks piling were complete though.

These are the tasks which filled our day:
- Inspection on Building 2, Ground Floor for Room Turnovers. I prepared a checklist for the room turnovers which will be the basis of my report on the accomplishments and lacking as per room prior to the mandate of turning over at least three rooms per day. I had an ocular inspection during the morning and the afternoon observing the speed of their work and realized that there were not enough workers assigned in building 2, ground floor. This was because most of the people were still working and also meeting the deadlines in building 3, ground floor. At the end of the day, I made a report and basing on what has been accomplished per room, I provided an percentage of accomplishment. Most of the rooms have accomplished 60% of the needed work. However, there were still which was on 30% achieved. All the rooms were not yet bored with holes for the soap and tissue holder. Most rooms also need further finishing of the door and window jambs. There were few rooms left not plastered. It was very hard to turnover even a single room.
- Orientation of the S-Curve. The Cadet Engineer oriented me with the documentation process of the project which involved the S-Curve of the project. The success of the project somehow depends on the S-Curve. An S-Curve determines whether the project is advance or delayed through the comparison of the theoretical accomplishment and the actual accomplishment. The graph also depicts the variance in percentage and in days.

The whole day was filled with much enthusiasm and pressure in the site. Most of us were busy preparing for the topping off which will be held on the slab of the water tank in the fourth level between building 1 and building 2. During the morning, my classmate and I were tasked to prepare for the way where the CDU Group and all the people involved in the topping off will pass through by placing caution tape along the way. We also made a welcome sign for the visitors.
The topping of started nearly 2:00 pm which consisted of Dr. Potenciano V. Larrazabal Jr., President of Cebu Doctor’s University, Engr. Rey Incorporado, the one who design the architectural of Cebu Doctor’s University Dormitory, Engr. Dennis Labus and Engr. Ebenzer Requioma, Engineers representing th CDU Group, Archt. Manuel Ambos Jr, the Senior Project Manager of the CDU Dormitory Project and Ryan Poncardas, Cadet Engineer of the said project. We took the pictures of the event for documentation purposes. Late lunch followed after. Although minor problems were encountered which caused the delay of the topping off, the event was a success.

I have officially started my on-the-job training today. I arrived at the site at around 7:45am. I immediately searched for the entrance gate and waited for my classmate. At around 7:55am, we entered the tiny galvanized iron sheet gate along P. Larrazabal St. and asked for inquiries about the Project Manager. After an hour of waiting, Archt. Ambos came, and oriented us with some basic rules and policies regarding safety, and other important matters. The project was a Proposed Cebu Doctor’s University Dormitory which is composed of three four-storey buildings. The project is about to finish in three months time. We were given an attendance sheet where we will be logging in and out daily to have our training hours recorded.
Few minutes after, we were somehow busy with our tour around the site. We were taken to the third floor where we observed the pouring of concrete on the adjacent building. We were also taken to the ground floor to take a look into some of its finished rooms and the on-going excavation for the cistern.
During the afternoon, we were filled with paper works and some computations on lengths of beams and girders, total volume of beams and girders on the fourth level of building 2 and the volume of the two gutters on the roof level of building 1 and 2 along grid 2 and 3, respectively.
The day was filled with more or less few paper works and a little boredom. It was our first day though and the engineers promised a lot more work this Monday… I just hope it won’t be tougher..
