As Service Provider.   Believing in the liberalization of the profession by the new law called RA 9266 replacing the outmoded RA 545, we have since redefined the corporate practice of architecture to go into packaged services with other disciplines such as planning, engineering and allied design services, project and construction management, marketing and real estate services as well as project funds sourcing, and others as the case may be. All or some of them very much required in a real estate venture by clients/project proponents besides architecture.  The whole project team, therefore, or some of it, may be availed at packaged or team price, translating into cost savings for the project as opposed to having to deal with many teams on piece meal fees which can sum up to a relatively astounding amount.

Having survived through the Asian, then the world economic crisis that started in 1997 and persists to this day, the principals felt that in order to survive as a service-providing entity in today's markets, their vast talents alone are not enough to go on.  The main factor is the fostering of OPPORTUNITIES to be of service, to practice one's know how or expertise, to be able to contribute significantly to works in emerging markets where they may participate the best.  The second factor is having the capability to identify, seek out and partner with other industry professionals and expert teams on as many diverse projects and ventures as possible.  The third is the ability to envision creative solutions to venture problems and translate them into realities, not only on technological or technical aspects but more importantly, on business aspects.

As there exists already many leaders in the industry who have dominated the Philippine Real.Estate market, it is just a question of finding one's niche in the vast arena and be the market leader there.Thus, it is in packaged services where my group seeks to be the market leader and the architectural organization of choice.  It is now working to strengthen what it has determined that it should be good at to better serve its chosen market niche, as well as working more to further strengthen what it is already good at. 

As Developer.   Since the "services" part is already a given, it is only a matter of time before my group engages itself as the developer of projects, thus becoming its own Client as well.  With the opportunities presented to it during the past several months of its existence by various proponents, many of them the landowners themselves, My Group has indeed found another market niche to excel in: Developing, both horizontal and vertical.  Thus, its secondary business purpose. 

As a developer, it is important to be selective in choosing the projects that my group intends to develop, catching the market it has targeted to bring in the fastest return of investment as soon as possible.  This is paramount. Again, the criteria that define its service-providing aspect should be applied also in its development projects. As a developer, TAII has created its own opportunities to render services but with direct control over every aspect thus protecting the interests of the projects and their proponents as well.
