Examples where Your Gut Feelings are to be use in your Diagnostic Technical Engineering
Skills in Construction, structural, geotechnical, geodesy, etc.:
1. Seeing muddy sands as bad for as construction materials;
2. Seeing that coarse aggregates/gravels mixed with fragile rocks for construction
materials are bad omen;
3. Seeing that proposed construction site needs to be properly relocated by
professional Geodetic Engineers is more Economical than without relocating it, the
technical boundaries, before the actual construction layouting works is commenced
with, as moving monuments would bring the entire project and involved Engineers
and owners in a constructive legal troubles in the future.
4. Can diagnose the proper required construction materials as they arrived on-site by
suppliers pursuant to structural, architectural, and constructural specifications and
government regulations.
5. Can diagnose legal feasibilities for project with NTC (Notice-To-Commence) for
administrative and legal compliance;
6. Can diagnosed and can properly addressed technical engineering lapses over
Construction Safety and Occupational Safety and Health Standards pursuant to
Local/National/international legal protocol;
7. Can diagnosed/assessed Construction and Health Hazards within the Construction
site and worked for the total prevention and elimination of the associated risks
pursuant to Local/National/international legal protocol;
8. Can diagnose congenial structural defects in the course of construction project
implementation and to initiate correct protocol for the required correction to structural
compliance pursuant to the required administrative procedures and to avoid technical
misunderstandings among the technical participants and stakeholders;
9. Can diagnose administrative mismanagement and can initiate and administrative and
corrective protocol beneficial to all technical participants and stakeholders;
10. Can diagnose legal impediments for the procurements of the required Government’s
required Permits to compliance pursuant to existing Local/National Laws, Rules and
Regulations.
11. Can diagnosed construction pitfalls and other management challenges such as
congenial causes of construction supplies shortages despite advertent and unfaithful
deliveries by suppliers and inadvertent and faithful receipts of material deliveries by
recipients, as both the recipients and suppliers usually deviated from the normal and
standard required administrative protocol of exercising their required professional
duties and obligations in dealing with construction supplies and deliveries in the
project;
