Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez of Ulticon Builders Incorporated based in Davao City, Philippines has always made it his mission to support the local organizations to help uplift the lives of its members and their respective families. Amongst the organizations that Ulticon Builders Incorporated supports is the MBFEA or the Mindanao Banana Farmers and Exporters Association, Inc. This association was founded in 2005 and the Board of Directors and members of the association primarily intends to uplift the plight of the small Filipino Cavendish Banana growers through the organization. The organization aims for the betterment of the banana industry.
Since their overall mission is in line with the principles of UBI, the company sought to help them in their projects. One of their projects was the MBFEA OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT which was held on November 24, 2018. The tournament was intended to be a charity event with which part of the proceeds will be for the IP school children of Sitio Talos, Brgy. San Jose, Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte. The tournament was held at the Apo Gold & Country Club, Inc. in Bago, Davao City, Philippines.
Ulticon Builders Incorporated sought to give aid by being a Platinum Sponsor for the said event. Why do you think they are so passionate to support these local associations? It’s because they want to put a halt to the old adage, “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”. For Mr. Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez of Ulticon Builders Incorporated, to ensure we don’t delay progress for everyone’s good and so we can put a stop to this vicious cycle, the key is uplifting those who are trying to make better lives for themselves and their families.
An avenue for this is to provide education and to help our young ones realize that they have the power to change the status quo, to dream and to rise up above every challenge that comes their way. However, this self-motivation can better be accomplished by more than just talk. That is why, Ulticon Builders Incorporated also sought to give them a helping hand to reach this dream. We should support our youth and support all the endeavors of all the communities that share our vision. Why? Because that’s what makes us Filipinos.
When the sun has set before one’s eyes, it reminds you of the immense color of gold which ignites an exhilarating and hopeful feeling from within. In August of 2018, the Asian Games in Indonesia, Jakarta was opened with an extravagant ceremony . A huge group of 2,000 synchronized school dancers performed on stage with their traditional Saman dance to enchant a huge crowd that filled the stadium. A spectacular display of colors, vibrant cultural shows and mesmerizing pyrotechnics lit up the event on a 120 metre long and 600 ton platform at Jakarta Gelora Bung Karno Main Sports Complex. Our Filipino athletes proudly competed for honor and their heart’s desire is to earn the elusive gold medal. In achieving this, they are well aware that it takes courage, perseverance, and passion, all for bringing great honor to our homeland.
Once again, to humbly support our Filipino athletes on their journey to triumph, Ulticon Builders Incorporated with our President Charlie Gonzalez of Davao, through Siklab Atleta Pilipinas Sports Foundation and other private organizations will award bonus cash prizes for our Filipino gold medallists of the 2018 Asian Games with P1 million, silver medallists with P500,000 and bronze medallists with P250,000.

Ulticon started with only four employees in a small office in Davao City. Back then, they handled small projects (E.g. school buildings) that they could handle.
In 2000, They ventured road construction. Construction works opportunity opened up to the company. It was awarded various contracts from different government agencies, a just reward for its having completed its previous projects on time and at high standards of quality.
In 2006, Carlos “Charlie” S. Gonzalez was blessed with more projects, so he had to transfer their operations in a building in Quimpo Boulevard.
In 2009, They passed three ISO certificates, namely: EMS, QMS and OHSMS. This was certainly in the books, because this would mean they could now bid projects that would cost P100 million and up.
As of Today, they have 1303 employees. This was a dream fulfilling experience for an upstart company headed by its founder and president, Mr. Carlos “Charlie” S. Gonzalez and his brother Engr. Raul “Sonny” S. Gonzalez.
Ulticon is determined to keep meeting an impeccable reputation of top-quality work and delivering customer satisfaction to everyone that partners with them. Each person in Ulticon strives to deliver consistent, superior service to uphold regulatory requirements that benefit the company.
Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez attributes Ulticon’s success to its employees’ dedication to excellent work, customer service that exceeds expectations, and a safety program that led the company to zero accidents in the field.

We ask people from the admin team of Ulticon Builders, “Describe Ulticon in one word.” And most of them answered “Family.” It brings joy and happiness to the leaders of Ulticon that they’ve instilled the feeling of belongingness to their employees. It has always been the dream of the founders to not only build bridges to communities but to build bridges to people as well. This culture has been achieved through understanding each other in the company, no matter who you are. A quality company culture is one of the hardest workplace qualities to obtain, because the investment is time.
Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez, Vice-President of Ulticon Builders, understands the importance of having a company culture.
Your company culture defines the way in which your organization interacts with one another and how the team interacts with the outside world, specifically your partners and suppliers.
It’s the formula that guides the team, as well as inspires and motivates employees. It is also responsible for attracting and retaining great talent, as well as creating a fun, happy and exciting work environment.
A great company culture also attracts a great partner which, in turn, creates great success! People will want to do business with you because of what you believe in and stand for, rather than solely on your products alone. Understanding this principle will quickly allow you to see the importance of company culture.
Trees beautify our environment but Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez of Ulticon Builders understand that their values lie beyond the aesthetics. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, increase biodiversity in our environment, prevent soil erosion, as well as provide shade and lower the atmospheric temperature.
Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez of Ulticon Builders, Inc. invited members of the said company to join a tree planting event that was held on the 6th of May 2016. A grand total of 40 people volunteered to show support for the event, which was geared to help secure the future of our environment for the generations to come. With help from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region XI, 400 seedlings of tree was planted at the quarrying area (Marilog District) to restore brownfield areas and to help fight climate change and global warming which is a threat to the natural habitat of wildlife in the world.

Hot Summer! Once again it’s Fire prevention month, a critical time of the year that is taken seriously by our firefighters. Summer always has the highest fire incidents so our dear firefighters believe in the need to educate the residents of Davao about fire prevention and proper response in case of fire incident.
The fire prevention role of a fire department mainly includes ensuring the safety of its people and their properties (homes, hotels, offices, factories, and so on) and to assure that in case of fire the inhabitants can safely evacuate the premises unharmed.
One of Ulticon’s supported NGO’s is the Filipino Chinese Firefighters Foundation of Davao. It is a non-profit organization Founded as an Emergency Fire and Rescue Operations Base. With Ulticon’s donation that support the department’s operations in terms of equipment like fire jackets and maintenance amongst others, the FIlipino Chinese Firefighters have a better chance in helping more people in case of fire.
Ulticon, with Carlos Charlie S. Gonzalez of Davao believes it is a must to provide assistance through a simple donation to some of many significant organizations that help protect and render service to the community. After all, the fact that our firefighters risk their lives for their fellowmen can never be compensated with any monetary value. Residents of Davao City can rest more comfortably at night knowing that the people who stay up in case of emergencies are also supported to be at their most conditioned state.
At Ulticon Builders Inc., we believe that safety means more than wearing protective gear or following jobsite protocols. It also…
