Background of the Firm

TAM Planners Co. (TAMpc) is an integrated group of young professionals expressing commitment to the rational development of the urban setting and the built environment. It is the intent of the Principals/ Partners of TAMpc. for the firm to continually evolve into an active exponent in design and planning activities that must at all times complement both the man-made and the natural environments. Together with its affiliated firms and consultants, TAMpc plans and designs with the environment and for the environment so that future generations could be bequeathed a legacy of concern for much that has been taken for granted.

As with its affiliated consulting firms and individual consultants, TAMpc is aware that the required design and planning solutions to many of our present problems need not only be easily and immediately realizable but more importantly, they should be: 1) decisive and realistic yet flexible enough and truly responsive to the peculiarities of each problem (issue-oriented); 2) imaginative, bold, and visionary; 3) ethically acceptable, morally upright and beyond reproach; 4) nationalistic and conscientious; 5) law-abiding, just and socially/ spiritually uplifting; 6) environmentally sound and resource-oriented; and 7) cost-conscious and forward looking.

TAMpc believes that existing developments/ communities need not stagnate and new ones need not be haphazardly developed (for blatantly economic expediencies) to the detriment of the very people for which they are built. TAMpc further believes that the acceptability and viability of development projects is largely dependent on proper planning, design, development and management of the physical environment with due consideration to given social, economic political and geo-socio/ eco/ political milieus.
