A Day in the Life of a Design Coordinator

A Day in the Life of a Design Coordinator

We chat with Eric Duldulao about life at Design Works

Every set of drawings starts with countless moving parts — and Eric Duldulao is the one making sure they all come together. As a Design Coordinator at Design Works, he bridges the gap between technical drafting and cross-discipline collaboration. Eric has flourished in this role, and this past month we celebrated his second anniversary at Design Works.

Eric’s path started in the Philippines, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Architecture and successfully passed the Architecture Licensure Examination. He began his career as a CAD Technician at a construction firm, building a strong foundation in technical drafting and construction documentation.

A move overseas gave him the chance to continue as an Architectural Technician, and through consistent performance and continual skill development, he advanced to Senior Architectural Technician. Each step added responsibility for design coordination, documentation, and multidisciplinary collaboration — skills he now brings to his work at Design Works.

That growth mindset is what fuels his day-to-day. A typical morning might involve refining architectural layouts, while afternoons are spent syncing with structural, electrical, and mechanical teams to keep designs aligned and conflicts avoided. As Eric puts it:

“This collaborative process is crucial to maintaining accuracy, preventing design conflicts, and ensuring that all disciplines can proceed efficiently with their respective tasks.”

His toolkit is a mix of industry-standard software and sharp attention to detail.

“The use of industry-standard software has further streamlined my workflow,” he explains, “allowing me to produce high-quality drawings and designs with precision and speed.” That combination of technology and teamwork allows him to tackle complex projects with confidence. The most satisfying part? The finish line.

“One of the most rewarding moments in my work is when I complete a full set of architectural drawings and receive the final approval or stamp from the architect,” Eric said. “It signifies that the design is complete, compliant, and ready for the next phase.”

And when the workday winds down, Eric keeps things simple, spending time with friends, playing billiards, or just relaxing on his couch with Netflix.

Behind the software, coordination, and meticulous drawing sets is someone who thrives on collaboration and precision — and who finds real pride in seeing designs move from concept to reality.
