Systems and Sincerity for Better Bridges: How SUPC fulfills projects from concept to completion

The architecture and construction industry has always been a numbers game. Anything that deals with the value of strict measurements is sure to be a place that demands great attention to detail. However, there’s a lot that happens out and beyond a project site. SUPC’s President, Mr. Jovan Coloma understands that the business of fulfilling projects from concept to completion takes a lot of taking and giving between contractors and developers. This is why He oversees a clean, and systematic process to develop buildings that sell.

Starting with Sincerity in Client Management

Although Mr. Jovan has always had an interest in the architecture and construction industry, he chose to pursue a different path contrasting his other siblings. Instead of going the traditional route of taking a course in Architecture or Engineering, he took up Business Administration with the view that it can cover more ground in his career when facing any type of management role, regardless of the industry.

This also reflected his beliefs when handling business: prioritizing Client Management, through creativity, innovation, persistence, and hard work in the field.

Although he originally started working with Coloma Builders in 2008 with his siblings, Mr. Jovan took a big risk and built his own firm, which would be known as MJD Design and Build. This change in trajectory came as a challenge to try his hand at multi-million high-end residential projects. Mr. Jovan states that “It’s not easy in South Luzon to enter into high-end construction service, since there are so many players competing. It was difficult to come in as a graduate of Business Administration instead of being an architect or engineer.”

Although his difference in traditional credentials might initially seem like a disadvantage, he later realized the strong value of honesty and sincerity when building strong client relations. What he noticed was that his target demographic does not really look at the technical matters first when hiring a firm. “These clients can feel how capable you are with how comfortable they are with you. With how sincere you are with what you’re promising.” Mr. Jovan notes.
