ANGELES CITY (PIA) -- The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) window at the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Regional Office was able to process a total of 331 contractors’ license applications in 2015.

“From this figure, 230 are regular license applications, 94 are Application for Registration and Classification for Government Projects, 6 are Special Licenses, and 1 for Change of Business Name,” DTI Regional Director Judith Angeles disclosed.

PCAB window at DTI Regional Office opened in November 2013 to provide convenience to contractors renewing licenses, as they do not need to go to Metro Manila.

These licenses are issued by the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP) which is an agency attached of DTI.

CIAP was created by Presidential Decree 1746 in 1980 and aims to accelerate and regulate the growth of the construction industry in conformity with national goals.
