RFI

Hello, ask ko lang po. Pag freelance construction and direct kay client, and hindi kayo nag sign and seal ng structural. Mag RFI/RFA pa po ba sa designer pag may mga clash or hindi tugma sa code or pwede na basta approved ni client? Like magpapalit ng rebar size and qty kasi magiging masyadong masikip na etc. Thanks po

CE padin?

Hi currently a 3rd year student, more than halfway done in this tiring course.

Been reading some reddit posts about questioning if it is still worth it to continue civil engineering here. the quickest and most replied answer was "no" due to oversaturation and low pay despite being in the industry for years

I absolutely came to love this course throughout my journey especially in the field of geotechnical and transportation. I know if you love the course - then continue, but im more financially oriented and want to live a comfortable life as well(having close to or have a 6digit salary)

is the civil engineering job path worth it? can you make it work with upskilling, doing many personal projects, job hopping, and even having multiple jobs at the same time

REVIEW INNOVATION

Can anyone regain my confidence sa Review Innovation? Kase upon seeing the post and comments here and other groups/reddit, kinakabahan nako if I should be confident sa kapalaran ko haha.

I enrolled sa FTF setup nila for this CELE March 2027. I am from PUP, sanay na sa stress and everything, and other seniors also recommend Review Innovation. Kinakabahan lang po talaga knowing na di accessible yung online videos nila pag FTF ang set up

WFH VS. Government Civil Engineer

Is it wise that I turned down an Engineer II 43,000.00 pesos per month offer by the City Municipality and accepted a Work From Home offer that ranges around 40-43k per month with mandated benefits and HMO as a Civil Engineer admin?

How to be more mature as someone na nasa construction industry?

RCE 2026 here but nasa Safety department. Our company is relatively small. Recently dumadami ang projects pero nagreresign na ang mga employees. This one engineer jokingly(na may halong truth) told me na ako ang sasalo sa iiwan nyang project. So far wala naman akong nakuhang plans from amo na ako ang sasalo.

Nagtanong lang ako sa other co-worker kong project engineer who is nasa 30s na:"Sir, hindi ba ako mapagkatiwalaan?"

He replied smiling:"Matuto ka nang magmature"

I kinda agreed sa part na immature parin ako. How to be mature?

For info, madalas akong nagbe baby talk lalo na pag nasa awkward state/nahihiya makipag usap sa tao. I lack confidence. Nakakuba ako lagi, i dont like how I look pero matigas parin ang bilbil ko eto kain nang kain pa ng sweets. Tas malumanay ang pag-usap ko sa site workers(i hate to say it pero nagta-talk ako like a kindergarten child).

ps:pls dont post this sa other socmed

Hindi ko gets

Job Qualifications

Amp. Female applicants only?! Bakit may gender requirement sa engineering? Hindi naman physical na trabaho yan na pagbubuhatin ka ng ilang daang kg ng sako o ano. Hindi ba labag ito sa RA 6725? Ano kayang trip ng ba is liw na employer na to?

Edit: Jusko, I cannot IMAGINE people still thinking that engineering has something to do with gender, kesyo males are better at the xyz aspect of engineering, females are better at the abc aspect of engineering. Those are mere anecdotal evidences/experiences. If you had 2-3 bad male/female employees, then strictly limiting the job opportunity to JUST the opposite gender IS bull-hit. Ang daming nawawalan ng opportunity just because you had a bad experience with a few of them. That's like saying all flights are dangerous because of those flight crash investigations you saw on TV, and you'll never travel by air ever again. Again, I dont care what your reasons are... WALANG EXCUSE ang male/female only hiring sa engineering. Wala. Zero. Idc

is civil engineering still worth it nowadays?

guys HAHSHAHHAAHAA curious lang ako kung totoo bang mataas talaga ang sahod ng civil engineers, kasi im currently a grade 12 student and most of my friends are planning to take CE mainly because they believe na malaki raw yung sahod, im wondering din if oversaturated naba yung CE field for our generation, especially with how many students are choosing CE, napapansin ko rin na sa maraming universities ngayon, parang ang daming students na nagtatarget ng CE na course uhuhhu kaya nagiging quota sya. sa tingin nyo po, worth it pa rin ba mag take ng civil engineering ngayon?

is it possible for an average student to study abroad through scholarships programs?

Hi! As mentioned po sa title, gusto ko lang po malaman if may chance ba yung isang average student na walang mga extracurricular activities or leadership roles sa college na mag-apply sa mga scholarships programs for postgrad degree sa ibang bansa? Gusto ko pa po sana ituloy pa yung study ko sa masters kaya lang kapag naiisip ko na magiging competitive siya since maraming mas deserving at magagaling na students kesa sa akin, baka masayang lang yung oras at pera sa pag-try.

Gusto ko lang pong malaman if meron ditong mga natanggap or may kakilalang natanggap kahit average student din at hindi walang mga ibang ganap nung college. Thank you po!

Fresh grad/job seeker struggle - ang hirap pala talaga maghanap ng work

Rant lang pero at the same time baka may makatulong hahaha.

As a freshly licensed Civil Engineer, ang hirap pala talaga maghanap ng first job dito sa Pilipinas. Ang daming entry-level positions pero most of them either require experience or sobrang daming qualifications for a fresh grad.

I’ve been applying for almost 3 months na around Parañaque, Manila, Makati, and Quezon City, preferably for entry-level Civil Engineer, Quantity Surveyor/Estimator, or Site Engineer positions.

I know naman na normal lang mahirapan sa first job and willing naman akong matuto and start from the bottom. Pero minsan nakaka-discourage din kapag ilang applications na tapos either walang response or hindi natutuloy.

Baka may alam kayong company na currently hiring fresh grads/entry-level CEs around those areas? Kahit company name or job posting lang, malaking help na.

Thank you! And good luck din sa mga kapwa job seekers diyan.

Magkano ba magpapagawa ng design ng bahay?

Hello po. New board passer po ako (March 2026), and someone asked me kung pwede ba magpagawa ng design ng bahay and how much will it cost?

Di ko po alam sagot ahahaha. Di ko din alam ano usually content ng “design” if kasama naba don yung sign and seal, or puro design lang. Di ko din alam kung hanggang saan lang ang pwede kong gawin? Since RCE at RMP ako, I know pwede ako sa structural plan at plumbing plan, pero ang alam ko din yung sa architectural plan is kay architect lang. May nakapagsabi din saakin na pwede kong palitan ng building design instead of architectural plan, kaya nalilito na po ako. Ahahaha.

Baka po may makatulong. Ano po ba content ng buong plan? And sino lang ang pwede gumawa ng ano? And how much will it usually cost?

Sana po may makatulong.
