DTI VI urges contractors to renew PCAB licenses on time

The Department of Trae and Industry (DTI) VI has announced that starting February 1, 2016 the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) will accept renewal of applications for fiscal year 2016-2017.

Republic Act 4566, the Contractor’s License Law, provides that no contractor (including sub-contractor and specialty contractor) shall engage in the business of contracting without first having secured a PCAB license to conduct business.

A PCAB-licensed contractor ensures the safety of the public on construction projects.
