Preserving the Past with Argus Builders
Argus Builders, an Ecotourism Builder and Developer in Davao, has made a name in the construction industry with its advocacy on supporting ecotourism growth of communities. We are known for developing tourism in Davao Oriental for five years by building and rehabilitating tourist spots from years 2011 to 2016.
This has led us, as an eco-friendly construction company, to more similar projects in Mindanao such as the rehabilitation of different tourism spots in Camiguin Island.
One of our project engineers who is hands on in doing any needed rehabilitation is Engr. June Gemang.
“The whole team was in awe when we first arrived in Camiguin for the series of project and we knew by then that Philippines has so much to offer in terms of culture and heritage, thus, we as a construction firm has to see this as a responsibility by preserving historical sites throughout the country, Engr. Gemang said.
One of the few challenges a contractor may face in rehabilitation projects is the ability not to destroy it further.
Engr. Gemang said the need for structural rehabilitation of heritage buildings is, usually, motivated by the existence of visible defects in the building, damage after a particular event that affects its stability (earthquake, etc.), the change of the use of the building for most severe conditions, and requirement of the competent authority, for instance, when there is an increase in the actions (earthquake action, traffic action, etc) imposed by new codes.
“Structural rehabilitation of heritage buildings has implications of architectural, structural, economic, historic and social order, depending on the degree and extension of the intervention. All these aspects will be taken into consideration,” she added.
Argus Builders has a team of engineers and architects who have done several rehabilitation projects making us the top choice when it comes to these objectives.
The Camiguin project involves four Ecotourism spots; The Bura Soda Water Park, Sto. Nino Cold Spring, Old Church Ruins, and Katibawasan Falls. The objective of this project, Engr. Gemang said, is to rehabilitate these tourist spots while preserving and conserving its fragile environment.
“Argus Builders aims that in every ecotourism project we have taken part of, the tourist facilities that are made to blend-in with the natural environment with the utmost and unique concepts and ideas are carried out fully, ensuring minimal disturbance to the environment,” she said.
As one of the green building construction companies in Mindanao, Argus Builders not only support ecotourism development but also advocate the sustainability of construction process and choices to better improve and preserve sites with our quality construction services.
