Vernacular Term and Construction Term

I really miss working at the site and using the vernacular term in construction on my home land. Since I’m working outside Philippines it is impossible to use it. Vernacular term in architecture in the Philippines is used locally by Filipino who worked on site. It's very useful for professionals such as architects & engineers to communicate to skilled workers on the construction site.
