 PREPARATION AND
MOBILIZATION
This phase involves setting up the construction site,
securing necessary permits, mobilizing equipment, and
assembling the project team. This includes establishing
safety protocols, setting up temporary facilities, and
ensuring that all resources are in place.

 PREPARATION AND MOBILIZATION:

SECURING NECESSARY PERMITS

1. PCAB License

No contractor (including subcontractors and specialty contractors) must engage in the

business of contracting without first securing a PCAB license to conduct business,
according to R.A. 4566, as amended by P.D. No. 1746. It is against the law to start a
contracting business without first getting a license.

2. Building Permit

A building permit is a legal document issued by your city or municipality’s Office of the
Building Official that allows the construction of a building.

If you’re found to have built your house without an official permit, the building officials will
forcefully halt the work until issuance or release of your permit. You will also get a notice
informing you to get a building permit.

SECURING NECESSARY PERMITS

3. Electrical Permit

Electrical Permits must be present before we can work on any electrical system. This
includes work on buildings, trailers, mobile homes, and other areas. For watercraft, the
permit must be obtained from the Office of the Building Official (OBO), and from the
authority for maritime concerns. Republic Act 7920 or the National Electrical Engineering
Law states that in order to get an electrical permit, you need to hire a licensed electrical
practitioner.

4. Sanitary Permit

The cleanliness of the workplace or company space must always come first as a business
owner or entrepreneur. It makes a positive impact on both customers and employees. To
clients, a clean workplace environment appears welcoming.

 PREPARATION AND MOBILIZATION:

SECURING NECESSARY PERMITS

5. Mechanical Permit

The following rules to attain a mechanical permit are:

The planned mechanical works must comply with the mechanical plans filed with this Office, as
well as the most recent Philippine Mechanical Code, the National Building Code, and its IRR.
That a properly completed “NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION” be given to the Building Official’s
Office prior to any mechanical installation.
and so on...

6. Occupancy Permit

The Office of the Building Official must issue and approve an Occupancy Permit, also known as a
Certificate of Occupancy before using the structure, according to the Philippine National Building
Code. The goal of acquiring the mentioned permission is to ensure that the house or building is in
habitable condition, based on the code’s regulations and the submitted designs and specifications.

 PREPARATION AND MOBILIZATION:

ASSEMBLING THE
PROJECT TEAM
Assembling a project team is just as much about
selecting team members as it is about fleshing
out the project’s organizational structure.
Regardless of the organizational structure you
choose, this entails setting up rules and
procedures, defining expectations and
establishing communication. If these things
aren’t clearly defined before the project begins,
they’ll inevitably lead to trouble down the road.

Note: The size and composition of the project team will vary
depending on the extent of the capital design, the
construction budget, and the various facets of the project.

MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
-These platforms provide centralized access to project data, real-time
collaboration tools, and automated workflows, enabling better resource
management, decision-making, and project coordination.

BUIDLING INFORMATION
MODELING (BIM)
-is a computerized model of a building's physical and functional qualities. It
makes it possible for engineers, contractors, and architects to work together
more efficiently by generating a common 3D model that includes details about
the geometry, materials, and other attributes of the project. By enabling
improved project coordination, identifying conflicts, and visualization, BIM
contributes to resource optimization.

Project Execution: Arellano | Manuel | Raven

 TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION
DRONES AND UAVS
-They provide aerial views of construction sites, collect data on site conditions,
and identify potential issues or safety hazards. Drones improve resource
management by enabling more efficient site assessments, reducing the need
for manual inspections, and enhancing project oversight.

ADVANCED MATERIAL
AND TECHNIQUES
-Such as advanced composites, engineered wood products, and 3D printing,
contribute to resource efficiency and sustainability. These materials offer
improved strength-to-weight ratios, faster construction times, and reduced
environmental impact compared to traditional construction methods.

Project Execution: Arellano | Manuel | Raven

 TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION
PREFABRICATION AND
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
-Involve the manufacturing of building components off-site in controlled factory
environments, followed by assembly on-site. Both prefabrication and modular
construction offer several advantages over traditional construction methods,
including faster construction timelines, improved quality control, cost savings,
and sustainability.
RENEWABLE ENERGY AND
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
-Integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines,
into construction projects reduces reliance on traditional energy sources and
lowers operating costs over the project's lifecycle. Sustainable construction
practices, such as energy-efficient design, water conservation, and waste
reduction, further contribute to resource efficiency and environmental
sustainability.
