key trait of a typical Makati Project Manager. People working in

best they can within the constraints. A project manager in
Makati takes great pride in the outcome no matter how small in

Body of Knowledge is to communicate the finish date estimate of a
project as a range instead of a specific date, to account for the
high degree of uncertainty in the environment. Any Infrastructure
project you see in Makati will have a board outside the facility
that displays the finish dates as a range instead of a specific
date.

employers in Makati. This is reflected in the numerous job
