Roberto Sandoval - Paloma Construction

I’ve always been fascinated by how things work. Growing up in Manila, a bustling city with 13 million people, there was constant construction to meet the needs of housing and businesses. My earliest memories involve sitting in the backseat of my dad’s 2-door Suzuki Samurai, cruising through the ever-evolving city, questioning why buildings were made a certain way and what all the equipment on construction sites were called. It just so happened that I was a curious kid who loved playing with Legos and watching NatGeo. I was eager to explore and understand the world around me!

I officially started my company because of the needs of some of my first clients. As their businesses grew, I had to decide whether to continue working solo or expand and work alongside others to solve problems together. That’s when I made the leap, and now we have a team of 8 members, along with a network of reliable subcontractors. The satisfaction of transforming spaces and witnessing the impact of our remodeling projects keeps us motivated.

Looking at my company today, I believe we are making a positive contribution to the communities we serve. We are lucky to work with clients who value efficient and impactful solutions. One of our clients always emphasizes the importance of improving living standards – that’s something we’re committed to doing and will continue doing!
