Safety has always been a cornerstone of operations at Ulticon Builders Inc. As a company that delivers critical infrastructure across Mindanao and beyond, we understand that workplace integrity begins with the people behind the projects. That is why we consistently invest in programs that uphold health, wellness, and accountability throughout the organization.
As part of this commitment, Ulticon recently conducted a Random Employee Drug Testing activity at the company’s main office in Davao City. Led by our Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Department in partnership with Davao Specialists Clinic & Diagnostic Laboratory (SCDL), the initiative was designed to strengthen our existing safety framework and ensure that our work environment remains professional, productive, and secure.
This initiative supports our vision of building not just structures, but a culture rooted in discipline, trust, and well-being.
A drug-free workplace is fundamental to productivity and safety. It protects not only the individual, but also the team, clients, and the public. Construction sites, in particular, require sharp attention, sound judgment, and coordinated teamwork. Substance misuse can compromise all of these and place others at risk.
Ulticon recognizes this and proactively monitors employee wellness through regular health programs, one of which is random drug testing. This process is done with fairness, transparency, and strict adherence to medical and ethical standards. Our aim is not to punish, but to protect. When employees know they are supported and held to a clear standard, they respond with accountability and pride.
The testing conducted at our main office was received positively. Employees appreciated the clarity of purpose and understood that this is part of a bigger effort to maintain the safety and reputation of the company they help build every day.
As an ISO-certified contractor with accreditations in Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, Ulticon Builders takes compliance seriously. But more than meeting industry requirements, we want to set the benchmark.
Random drug testing is part of our broader Health and Safety policy. It is applied fairly across departments and ranks. The results are confidential and handled with the highest level of professionalism by our medical partners.
By conducting this kind of proactive testing, we are reinforcing a culture where professionalism is expected and respected. It sends a clear message that Ulticon is a workplace where high standards are non-negotiable.
Employees perform better when they know they are operating in a safe, secure, and disciplined environment. Clients trust us more when they know we are taking every measure to uphold integrity from planning to execution.
At the core of this initiative is a leadership that understands the importance of long-term sustainability—not just in the roads and bridges we build, but in the people who build them.
Carlos “Charlie” Gonzalez, Ulticon co-founder and Chairman, has always placed strong emphasis on care and discipline as key traits of the organization. Under his leadership, Ulticon has grown to become one of the Philippines’ most respected Quadruple A contractors, not only because of engineering excellence but because of the values that define us.
Carlos Charlie Gonzalez Ulticon is not just a name behind the company. He is a leader who believes that a drug-free, healthy workplace is essential to progress. His vision continues to shape our policies, ensuring that every team member operates with focus, dignity, and responsibility.
Our approach to employee wellness extends beyond compliance. We want to foster a workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and motivated to grow. This includes addressing sensitive topics such as substance misuse with empathy and clarity.
Employees who may need help are guided to the right resources. Those who demonstrate good standing are acknowledged. And those who have concerns are heard without judgment.
Through initiatives like random drug testing, we are not only checking for compliance. We are also encouraging self-awareness, self-discipline, and mutual respect. These are the building blocks of a high-performance team.
Ulticon Builders Inc. works with national government agencies, private developers, and international partners. Trust is everything in these relationships. By demonstrating that we maintain a drug-free, health-conscious workforce, we strengthen our position as a reliable, world-class construction company.
Clients expect more than completed projects. They want transparency, ethical operations, and sustainable results. We deliver all of this by investing in programs that ensure our people are fit to perform at their best.
This level of accountability is one of the reasons why Ulticon continues to be awarded high-value projects across Regions X, XI, and XIII. Our results speak for themselves. And behind those results are systems built on integrity.
We believe that culture is shaped by the behaviors we reinforce. Drug-free workplace programs like this set the tone for how we do business. They create a sense of shared responsibility that carries over into other areas—quality control, time management, and ethical decision-making.
When employees know the standard, they rise to meet it. When leadership shows consistency, teams follow suit. And when the organization demonstrates care, people respond with loyalty.
Ulticon’s culture is one of purpose and progress. From the boardroom to the job site, every member of the team is encouraged to lead by example.
As we move into new projects and expand our operations, Ulticon will continue to invest in initiatives that protect and uplift our workforce. Our Health and Safety programs are evolving, and random drug testing will remain a regular component of this strategy.
But more than just testing, we are also investing in health seminars, psychological support, wellness drives, and accessible medical care. We understand that employee well-being is multi-dimensional. And we are committed to supporting it from all angles.
We are proud to lead with integrity. We are proud to support our people with real, measurable action. And we are proud to set the standard in building not only infrastructure, but also character.
A safe workplace is a successful workplace. And a responsible workforce is an unstoppable one.
