A public consultation was held for the proposed amendments to the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act 4566 or the Contractor’s License Law on February 7, 2013 at the Parklane Hotel in Cebu City.

The activity was meant not only to offer a venue for government to discuss with the public the amendments on the law but also to provide more transparency and integrity on government activities.

The consultation was conducted by the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) in cooperation with the Department of Trade and Industry.

The Contractor’s License Law (R.A. 4566) aims to promote, for the benefit of the public and private sectors and for the national interest, the orderly growth of the contracting sector and the upgrading of construction capability.

R .A. 4566 as amended by P.D. No.1746 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.
