PCAB INTEGRITY PLEDGE
We believe that the construction industry is one of the most susceptible to all forms of corruption that hampers the
noble objectives towards national progress and global competitiveness.
As frontrunners of nation-building, we acknowledge our major role and responsibility in ensuring that we carry out
our tasks guided by ethical standards and equipped with the necessary capability for the successful prosecution of
our contracts.
In view thereof, we pledge the following:


We will present only true qualifications to PCAB so that we may be evaluated properly and be given the
category and classification where we should rightfully belong;



We will uphold the dignity of the license and not be instruments for unlicensed contractors to undertake
construction projects through license lending nor through false joint ventures/consortium or pseudo
combinations which is inimical to the public safety/interest;



We will not employ unlicensed sub-contractors/specialty contractors which is a clear circumvention of the
requirement that all contractors must be licensed;



We will absolutely shun away from any form of collusion that destroys the very essence and integrity of
biddings;



We will not engage in bribery or do any act which constitutes graft or corrupt practice which is the root
cause of bloated contract amounts;



We will not use sub-standard materials which will in any way compromise the safety, reliability and
performance of the built environment;



We will not abandon our contracts and we will implement our projects faithfully in accordance with the
prescribed specifications thereof;



We will provide the necessary resources, financial and technical capability in carrying out our contractual
obligations, and as far as possible, within the stipulated time of completion;



We are aware that we will be imposed disciplinary action should we violate any of the commitments hereof
or the PCAB Code of Ethics or be found to be a party to corruption.

GUIDELINES FOR CLASSIFICATION AND CATEGORIZATION OF CONTRACTORS
1.

Classification means the area of operation that a contractor can engage is based on the technical experience of his
sustaining technical employee (STE). A contractor may apply for and be issued more than one classification, one of which
shall be designated as his principal classification.

2.

Category indicates the graded level of aggregate capability of a contractor with respect to his principal classification and is
based on predetermined qualification criteria which include financial capacity, experience of STE, track record and equipment.
Evaluation of category shall be based on the following criteria quantified by credit points in scales as determined by the Board.
2.1 Financial capacity
Financial capacity shall be in term of Networth based on the latest audited financial statements submitted to the
Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), or paid-up capital based on the latest audited financial statements submitted to
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), if a newly-organized partnership or corporation. PCAB has the
right to reject or reduce portion thereof if, upon verification, the reported assets of the contractor were found to be
erroneous or not adequately supported with appropriate documents. Corresponding credit points is 1 for every
P100,000.00 of the value of Networth/Stockholder’s Equity.
2.2 Equipment Capacity
Equipment capacity shall be in term of book value as reflected in the constructor’s latest audited financial statement
submitted to the BIR or the SEC, whichever is applicable, or equipment owned which are in operational condition and
applicable to construction of the classification in which the constructor is to be categorized. Said owned equipment
shall include units under installment and/or under lease purchase. Corresponding credit points is 1 for every
P100,000.00 of the NBV of the contractor owned equipment.
2.3 Experience of firm
Experience of firm shall be in terms of:
2.3.1 Aggregate number of years in which the constructor firm, under the same business identify, has been actively
engaged in construction contracting operation. Corresponding credit points is 10 for every year of actual
construction operation as a licensed contractor; and
2.3.2 Average annual value of work completed by the firm during the past three (3) years or, if constructor’s license
is less than three (3) years, since being licensed, based on the audited financial statements submitted to the
BIR. Corresponding credit points is one (1) for every P100,000.00 of the annual value of work
accomplishment.
2.4 Experience of technical personnel
Experience of technical personnel shall be the sum total of individual experience of each STE nominated to the
classification and shall be subject to the qualification requirement of each category as indicated in the PCAB
Classification and Categorization Table. Said individual experience of the STE shall be as defined and qualified
below:
2.4.1. The experience shall be in term of aggregate number of years in which the STE, in his present employment as
well as previous, has been involved in construction is to be categorized.
2.4.2. It shall include only the years in which he was performing in managerial/supervisory capacity bearing on
construction operation and/or contract implementation.
2.4.3. It shall be subject to a creditable ceiling of thirty (30) years, over which no excess shall be recognized.
Corresponding credit point is five (5) for every year of experience in construction.
The category of a contractor shall be determined on the basis of the number of points credited on the
aggregate/combined experience of all its qualified STE. Only STEs who meet the minimum individual experience
required shall be considered in determining aggregate experience and credit points. Thus, in order to qualify to the
technical capacity requirement for category “AAA”, the contractor must have qualified STEs whose individual
