T1 Project Management\u2019s attitude towards Women in Construction ensures a progressive mindset in the industry. T1 is a firm ally and supporter of eliminating gender inequality in the workplace, as women make up 48% of the team. T1\u2019s women inspire and serve as role models in encouraging Filipinas to see that construction is not \u201ca man\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confidence and Empowerment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel empowered because being a female professional in what was a traditionally male-dominated industry gives me a sense of satisfaction and strength that no matter where I am, I can always say that I made it,\u201d Jessa Marie Cabajug, Data Controller, shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kat Sarayba, T1\u2019s Assistant Manager for Design, challenged herself to be confident and happy in her career. \u201cIt honestly took me some time to build confidence. All-in-all though, I do really enjoy the career path I chose and the industry I\u2019m in. At the end of the day, I think that matters most.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel empowered to be living in an age where you can find women excelling in previously male-dominated industries. Proving that women belong in the boardroom, on construction sites, in I.T. \u2013 in whatever career they choose,\u201d Lana Kier, the company\u2019s Business Development Manager added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Philippines, the idea of women working in the construction industry is becoming normalized. More and more fit-out companies, contractors, design and architectural firms are made up of highly skilled and driven women employees who work on-site and behind the scenes. While the construction industry is moving in the right direction, women share that there is still a need to address the challenges in eradicating stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T1\u2019s Interior Designer Rose Ruelan shared, \u201cEspecially in the field of architecture, some underestimate us, that we know less about technicalities, and focus more on the aesthetics. Though women access the same education and training available to men, so we deserve to be respected as equal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working Together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women in the construction industry take on many challenges as individuals as an opportunity to excel and mark milestones in their career and in their field. Cyrelle Brillante, one of T1\u2019s Project Managers, focuses on communication and coordination. She said, \u201cworking in harmony with the rest of the team creates a much better environment, especially in construction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it may seem difficult at first, every challenge can be overcome. Angel Falquerabao T1s Business Assistant shares, \u201cAfter overcoming all the things that I thought I couldn\u2019t do, I realized it wasn\u2019t as daunting as I imagined it would be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richelle Reyes another of T1\u2019s Project Managers added, \u201cI realized that in order to change the pace, you have to be amenable to endure what is beyond your comfort zone. Embrace what you are passionate about, even if it\u2019s not what the norm dictates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Cultivating Space for Women<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

T1 is a progressive design, construction and project management company in the Philippines. By providing equal opportunities for men and women and hiring based on skills, talents, and dedication, the company creates a safe space where gender-based prejudice and discrimination do not exist, whilst building the most dynamic, professional and skilled team in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel extremely lucky just to be a part of a strong, determined, passionate, flexible, and talented team, gender is not even a consideration,\u201d Jen Panganiban, the company\u2019s Business Manager expressed. \u201cI think what I feel is very much similar to all of my hard-working colleagues regardless of the gender.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The business landscape, no matter what industry, is ripe for a change. It takes movers and visionaries to ensure the development and evolution of these fields will continue.
