Having the opportunity to process the company’s DTI Business Name permit exposed me in the reality of what it’s like to work on the business side of architecture and I am thankful for my mentor for giving me the opportunity to experience it and for being patient with me for all of my mistakes and struggles while processing the DTI Business Name permit. This experience inspires me to venture more in the business side of architecture and I hope that, in the future, opportunities like this will come up.
During my apprenticeship at Concipio Tektura, I was assigned to process the renewal of the company’s DTI Business Name permit. I never had an experience in processing permits nor have I stepped foot in a DTI Field Office but the task was a chance to experience it all and become knowledgeable in the process. I was first tasked to research the requirements in renewing the DTI Business Name permit but struggled in finding information as the DTI website only provided information about applying for a DTI Business Name permit, some websites provided information which I learned were outdated after all. Only when I went to a DTI Field Office with the knowledge of only bringing a filled out application form, a back up application form, renewal fee, my mentor’s ID and a photocopy of it, was I informed of missing an authorization letter signed by my mentor to process the company’s DTI Business Name permit, a valid ID of my own and a photocopy of it. © Concipio Tektura Architectural Design Studio I learned right after not only to research online but also to actually call any DTI office for direct information about renewing the DTI Business Name permit. I struggled again when I was finally able to secure all requirements only to arrive around 2:00 pm at the nearest DTI Field Office near the office to find it was already cut off due to the system being down. I arrived again at the same DTI Field Office a day after at around 12:00 pm only to be cut offed again also due to the system being down. On my third try, I finally learned my lesson that the system would be down for a while and so I arrived around 9-10:00 am and was finally able to process the DTI Business Name permit 6 hours later.

The principal architect innovates the office for having a non-traditional way of communicating with the use of modern technology such as online messaging with Viber app. A project should have a constant communication and we follow the term “Progress is still a progress” for you don’t even have to be ashamed if you will consult an imperfect unfinished work because the mindset is the fault must be discovered early before developing only to know it is incorrect. From time to time a work must be shown by screenshot to be corrected. © Concipio Tektura Architectural Design Studio Process of progress
