How we check
We list local builders and architects from public information and mark clearly what we have checked. Owners can claim, correct or remove their page at any time. Every listing carries one of three tags.
Checked
We looked up a license or registration ourselves in the official list and recorded the date: PCAB for contractors (including PCAB Pakyaw for small-scale contractors), PRC for architects, and DTI or SEC for business registration. Licenses can lapse, so the date matters. Ask to see the current card before you sign.
Business-stated
The owner told us. We have not checked it ourselves. Confirm it directly before you hire.
Listed from public information
The owner has not claimed the page yet. It shows only basic business details taken from the business's own public page or website: name, type of work, city or barangay, and public contact details. Each of these pages names its source and the date we accessed it. It has no photos, no projects, no owner names and no description until the owner claims it.
Claimed pages
When an owner claims a page, they send us documents or project photos. We check the license or registration where we can, add at least one finished project with photos used with permission, and publish the page only after the owner approves it.
What we do not do
- No star ratings and no ads.
- Verification is never sold. Paying for anything never changes a tag.
- Listings are Checked first, then Business-stated, then listed from public information, A to Z within each group. Order never depends on payment, ads or ratings.
- We do not endorse any business or guarantee its work.
