Hermes Construction Supply Committee


March 3, 2014

Summary
A report on Civil Engineers, Architect and personnel working a project at Mindanao State University was
undertaken to determine what ( if any ) problems these personnel face. Personnel were surveyed on
several matters. In general, personnel expressed satisfaction with the said construction supply company;
however, a few areas of concern were identified.

Introduction
This report was requested by the CEO of Hermes Construction Supply Company Ms. Katlene Mae Agot
on November 5, 2011. Construction Supply Company and company board as the Survey Committee. The
committee was asked to submit its findings by December 15, 2012.
The main purpose of the study is to explore ways of attracting more to contract at Hermes Construction
Supply. An additional purpose is to help to make the Company more conducive to services for the
constructional personnel.
Our major source of information about the needs and wishes of Civil Engineers, Architects and
Contractor is themselves. Therefore, the committee decided to construct a questionnaire, aimed at
eliciting relevant information from of Civil Engineers, Architect and Contractor and some of them are
personnel working a project at Mindanao State University since 2011. Copies of the questionnaire are on
file with the Engineers City Office and they are available for it.

A total of 242 responses were received, 233 of which were usable. Sixty nine of the personnel had been
working a project at MSU during the period in question.
The responses, therefore, can be taken to reflect the views of a significant majority of these personnel.
The questionnaire included 24 variables, grouped into five categories:
A. Information received about the Hermes Construction Supply Company before the Civil Engineers,
Architect and Contractor signed their contract here;
B. The Civil Engineers, Architects and Contractors reception into the country
C. The Civil Engineers, Architects and Contractors loyalty at HCSC;
D. Interaction with the company and DPWH staff;
E. More construction resources.

Findings
Before signing contracts at Hermes Construction Supply Company
Surveyed personnel asked if they had received thorough, partial or no information about the company,
their chosen services and shipping matters. Results suggest that insufficient information and services
was provided to surveyed personnel before they signed here.

Signed at Hermes Construction Supply Company
Using a scale of dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied, surveyed personnel were asked to rate five
different aspects of dealing with the company. Mean responses suggest that construction materials and
company orientation seem to require improvement.




Conclusion
This survey of Architects, Civil Engineers, Contractors and also some of them working a project at MSU.
The Hermes Construction Supply Company last over five years shows why this company continues to be
a sought-after construction supply company for them from many places. However, two main concerns
have been highlighted by the survey.

to their signing at HCSC.

Recommendations
Based on the survey results, the committee makes the following recommendations;
- The company should provide adequate information and services by securing and checking the
quantity of the materials to be delivered.
- It should identify and supply quality and not substandard construction materials.
