History of SM & MST Construction of Dumaguete

The SM & MST Construction Company is owned and operated by Engr. Stanley R. Tinio. It began business operations in 1998 with limited funding because Engr. Tinio was still employed in a key government office in Dumaguete City. Initially, Engr. Tinio offered his professional engineering services to friends and acquaintances, negotiating deals at the porch of his home.

In 2005 Engr. Tinio put up an office in Dumaguete to provide clients a more comfortable, yet professional, setting for discussing their needs and requirements. The company’s business operations, also improved as the number of clients increased. And as the company’s employees grew in number, worker’s skill in construction techniques and installation of many unique materials, for which the company is exclusive distributor, was never compromised.

The choice of the company name is actually rooted to the owner’s highest regard for his family. “SM” is a combination of the first letters of the name of the sole proprietor Stanley and his wife Marjorie. “MST,” meanwhile, is attributed their three children Matt Simon Tinio, Micah Sophia Tinio, Matt Sebastian Tinio.

Today, from an initial business catering to the Dumaguete locale, the SM & MST Construction Co. has expanded its reach providing services to any point in the Visayas region. Construction jobs have been completed in Cebu, Bohol, Dipolog, Siquijor, Bacolod, Ilo-ilo, Capiz  and. And aside from developing, renovating, and making additions to existing buildings, the company also offers free consultations with prospective new clients.

In anticipations of growing housing commercial industry, the SM & MST Construction Co. has built a warehouse in Bagacay, Dumaguete to store and distributes its ever growing inventory of building materials for use in its own construction projects and for resale to customers.
