Abstract

This study investigates the operational dynamics of ABC Construction Incorporation in Pampanga, focusing on the comparison between pre-pandemic and pandemic periods. The unprecedented disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted the construction industry, leading to temporary halts in operations during the initial phases of the crisis. Against this backdrop, ABC Construction encountered various challenges, prompting a comprehensive examination of operational disparities and adjustments made in response to the pandemic. Notably, the company swiftly integrated IATF protocols into its operational framework, particularly for ongoing projects initiated before the onset of the pandemic. Through structured interviews, nuanced insights emerged regarding the multifaceted effects of the pandemic on operational dynamics, with ABC Construction demonstrating resilience in adapting to evolving circumstances. Despite facing disruptions, the study reveals that the overall impact on operational efficiency was moderate, with discernible differences observed in accomplishments, protocol adherence, financial management, and manpower allocation. Remarkably, the quality of work produced by ABC Construction remained unaffected, underscoring the company's emphasis on individual accomplishments over mere manpower quantity. These findings highlight the adaptive capacity of construction enterprises amidst unprecedented challenges, with implications for strategic decision-making and operational resilience in the face of future disruptions.
