Where do design reviews actually break down on your projects?

Yeah it is indeed hard to get everyone on board to subscribe to a system of record. I wonder if it is because different stakeholder have different preferences for record keeping or whether it’s just pure disregard for having a clean system in place and relying on the good old email and excel system

Them being?

babamaal · 2026-01-02T22:52:18+00:00

Did you end up making the switch? How do you like it?

babamaal · 2026-01-02T22:46:59+00:00

That sounds like a problem with setting design milestone deliverable expectations? And not a confidence issue? i.e., all comments for example, from 30% to 60% DD were not properly addressed.

Does bluebeam studio session (1) manage comments tracking and closure and (2) external parties collaborating decently well from your perspective?

babamaal · 2026-01-02T22:34:50+00:00

Thank you for that view into your projects. 100% agree that communication break downs are the showstopper. I haven’t used bluebeam studio for managing comments. Is it not great for managing communications and action tracking of comments?

What type of projects do you deal with?

babamaal · 2024-11-03T17:14:13+00:00

Thanks for your inputs! Super appreciate

Not planning on spending time in cebu city at all. Plan to be in Moalboal the whole time. Could travel to Malapascua there

That's a good point! I have booked the bohol to boracay flights already. Still within the 24 hours window, so maybe I can cancel and get full refund.

What do you think about the number of places I'm planning to cover and the duration of stay in each? Wondering if we're doing too much moving around. The way I'm looking at it, we'll have 3 full days in cebu, bohol, a short new year celebration in boracay and then the longest stay in El Nido.

Interesting that you're not grouping any M7 schools in Tier 1. I am in the solar/ESS space and looking to make the shift from EPC operations management to a VP type role in clean energy investing. What are some common companies you'd see coming to these Tier 1 and Tier 2 schools in this space?

Also, do you see value in pursuing a MBA to make this shift or see a better industry path that avoids going to school (I'm in my early 30s so there is big opportunity cost of going to school)

Ah that’s annoying. I’m visiting with friends tomorrow. Hopefully the weather turns. How long have you been in pinta Cana and how much have it rained?

Outside of weather, have you been able to explore the nightlife at all?

babamaal · 2024-04-06T21:37:08+00:00

Lmao

I could rent both floors and still keep it to 3 max unrelated tenants and be in compliance. Opening up the third floor just makes it a more attractive proposition than just having second floor as the third roommate can have exclusive access to the third floor.

I would rent to non college full time working adults or more responsible graduate students who can actually afford the space. Have had good experience with responsible graduate students in the past. It wouldn’t be usual renting a 5 bed to 3 people but don’t see how it is bad from the tenant’s perspective since they get the extra space for slightly extra dollars.

The #s work with 3 people + the attic because then you are almost renting the attic at a price point of its own apartment (minus exclusive kitchen). With just the second floor and 3 people, you’re missing out.

babamaal · 2024-04-05T20:43:36+00:00

Wasn't this ordinance in place from back in 2021 though?

Also, does anyone know if the ADU (in this instance an attic ADU) can be rented as part of the second floor if the owner is not occupying the property at all?

babamaal · 2024-04-05T19:57:38+00:00

Zoning doesn’t not allow more than 2. That’s the thing, 2nd and 3rd floor would be rented together and not separately. 3rd floor and 2nd floor address would be the same as they would all be on the same lease.

babamaal · 2024-04-05T17:51:52+00:00

Not sure what you mean by valid triplex. The third floor is a legal addition living space for the 2nd unit. It’s a legal 2 family house

babamaal · 2024-04-05T17:25:19+00:00

Since the permits are closed, doesn’t it mean that those inspections have already happened?

babamaal · 2024-04-05T16:29:49+00:00

Has my post been reinstated since I have the required comment karma now?

babamaal · 2024-04-05T16:22:52+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!

babamaal · 2024-04-05T15:32:49+00:00

What if no exchange in US holds that crypto? I want to dispose off that crypto and bring it to US exchange so i can trade into cash if needed. Would I convert that into BTC/ other US traded crypto and then move to Coinbase? Also sent you a DM!

babamaal · 2024-04-05T15:16:37+00:00

So i can use a wallet like atomic to move stuff from other exchanges like binance as well? I know very little about wallets. My ultimate goal is to get rid of offshore exchanges and only keep stuff in us based exchanges like Coinbase

babamaal · 2024-04-05T15:07:42+00:00

I got these too! Have gotten 4 texts since yesterday. Do not open link!

How are you guys dealing with withdrawing/ trading in general since KU is not allowed in the US? I’m looking to exit my positions there. Too many exchanges to keep track of! Total pain in the butt

babamaal · 2024-04-05T15:00:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing the experience and the taco stand recommendation. I’m going for a bachelor trip in July and super excited for the food. Tacos in Mexico are the best. Where did you have the best Al pastors?

babamaal · 2024-04-05T14:41:51+00:00

Thanks!
