Rodolfo Dan B. Pagayona II

Hi! I’m a licensed architect with over 10 years of experience helping clients bring their projects to life — from design and construction to building management and maintenance. I’ve also handled facilities and safety management, so I make sure spaces are not only well-designed but also efficient and safe.

I hold a degree in Architecture and continue to expand my knowledge in building and property management, along with safety and environmental practices.

I work with various design and project tools to keep things organized and ensure smooth coordination throughout the project.
