That is no problem as long as you technically qualify for SPMechanical work. The IRR under RA 4566 allows multiple additional
classifications over and above your principal classification (General
Building).

Thanks for the reply. I am aware that all construction companies are
required to get a PCAB license. My question is, as a company planning
to do only private contracts, what classification requirements are
there?

In the ARC Track Record Form, does it necessarily mean that the Single
Largest Project Completed a Completed Government Project?
If it is not necessarily a government project, will the recorded Single
Largest Project Completed in the ARC Form deemed as valid if it was
completed before its registration for PCAB License? Will it be covered
by the Amnesty?
Just a clarification regarding Financial Capacity, does it mean networth (assets-liabilities) or just cash-on-hand/bank?

Completed projects in both public and private sectors are eligible for
the ARC track record.
Only licensed contractors are allowed to engage in construction
contracting in the country. Projects completed by an unlicensed
contractor cannot be taken into consideration as it contravenes the
law. The Amnesty does not affect this. A contractor whose license is
delisted through failure to renew automatically loses his entire track

Good Morning
Are there any documents that I can find the regulations of no ceiling
for private projects regardless of the categories(such as C, D, etc)?
I'm trying to find it in RA. 4566, but I wasn't able to spot it. Kindly ask
you to enlighten me.
Thank you

long before RA 9184 remains silent on category value caps as the test
for license categorization is Technical experience and Financial
capacity. It is up to a private sector project owner to decide on the
contractor to use provided that the contractor is licensed to carry out
the work. Project value does not form part of that equation. A Category
D General Building contractor can construct a 50 floor building if the
project owner so decides. The IRR under RA 4566 can be downloaded
from http://pcametro.ph (left sidebar under Legislation or top
Secondary Menu under a similar heading). However, the IRR remains
silent on this as it does not form part of contractors' licensing. The
project value ceiling was introduced by RA 9184 solely for Government
Projects.

Good Day!!!
Do classification SP-EM (Electrical and Mechanical Works) covers SPFW, SP-PS, SP-EE, SP-PN, SP-WP, SP-SS, Electronic Works, etc. as an
Specialty Contractor.
Thank you in advance in your untiring and unselfish responses to us.

You must individually apply for each specialty. This is the nature of
the Specialty Classification. It denotes that the contractor is a
specialist in his field. If the contractor has the technical ability in more
than one specialty, the additional classifications must be separately
(may be in one application form) applied for and the technical
capability shown.

Good Day!
We have won a government bidding worth Php18m. This is a
construction project which includes fabrication of machineries. But it
was categorized as a construction as a whole. We have a PCAB
category D. In which i do understand that we can only transact a
government project of up to 15million only. But we do have a SLC of
more than that amount of 18m approved budget. We also have an
NFCC of 27million. Can we still be able to serve this project given the
said supporting requirements?

Good afternoon,
If a foreigner company as a PCAB licence category B and the FIlipino
partner has a PCAB licence category AAA:
- In the case that the foreigner company wants to work for the private
sector, is there any amount limitation for a project? Is there any annual
limitation in number of projects or in total amount of project? Or
maybe a limitation about the number of project or the total amount of
project that we managed at the same time? Or maybe there is no
limitations at all?
- In the case of a government contract, the possibility for the foreign
company to participate in the project is to join the project at 25% and
the filipino partner will have 75% if i am right. In that case, do we still
have to follow the the licence category B or do we follow the
limitations of our partner licence AAA (IRR Clause 23.5.2)? For example
if the partner apply for a project with an SLP of P300M, can we join him
or should we only join if the SLP of the project is above P10M and up
to P50M?

There are many in the private sector that that insist that the contractor
they use has a certain license category - say AAA for high rise or AA
for medium rise. However, there is no legal requirement that for a
specific type of construction or contract value private sector project
owners must use contractors of a specific category. The only legal
requirement is that the contractor be Categorized for the work to be
carried out.
A Category AAA contractor has greater financial capacity and technical
capability than a Category B license and that is important to many
developers, institutions and project owners.
In the case of a Special License issued to a Foreign contractor
Category is normally dictated by the project itself (PPP, BOT or
international competitive bidding under government to government
bilateral agreement). As a Special license is for a single project only, it
does not impact further.
