Construction Industry Authority of the PhilippinesPhilippine Contractors Accreditation (PCAB)

The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) was formed by virtue of RA 4566 passed by Congress in 1965. It was originally called the Philippine License Board for Contractors (PLBC). With the creation of the CIAP, the PLBC was made an implementing arm thereof, among others, and was renamed PCAB. As such, all the powers and functions of the PLBC were transferred to PCAB. To date, maintains its regulatory and quasi-judicial functions. Pursuant to its mandate, the PCAB issues or denies the issuance of license based on established criteria/qualifications, and investigates violation of RA 4566 and the regulations thereunder as may come to its knowledge and suspends or revokes licenses of contractors as warranted by the investigation results.

In order to achieve this, the PCAB is committed to a continual improvement culture throughout the organization based on its stated mandate and the PNS/ISO 9001:2008 QMS Standard.
