PD 1746 – Creating the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP)
The construction industry in the Philippines is principally regulated by the Construction Industry
Association of the Philippines (CIAP), a government agency inaugurated through Presidential
Decree No. 1746, series of 1980, as amended (PD 1746).
The primary purpose of the CIAP as stated in PD 1746 involves developing a total strategy for the
overall development of Philippine construction industry; to regulate and evaluate both local and
international construction industries to identify areas for improvement and propose changes for the
development of the industry; and setting benchmarks and standards of contractors reflecting their
contracting and performance capacity.
The creation of CIAP through PD 1746 has greatly affect the national construction industry thereby
affecting construction project managers as well. Through this agency, all concerns regarding
construction are equalized at a national level. We have a cohesive understanding of the authority
and its processes therefore achieving smoother flow of work. As time passes by, more and more
are getting involved in the construction industry, creating more knowledge for innovation and
building processes. CIAP provides a unified agency that leans towards growth and development of
Philippine construction industry.

otherwise known as "An Act to regulate the practice of architecture in the Philippines," and for other
purposes.

3. Discuss the effect of the regulation on the practice of the construction project management
profession. Discuss your personal reason for choosing these regulations and how it will affect your
practice as a construction project manager.
Construction Project Managers (CPM) can be either an architect or an engineer. Understanding

the provisions stated in RA 9266 gives the CPM a wider idea of the scope and limitation of
architecture; one of the significant aspects in the construction industry. Being an architect myself,
it is important to know the functions of my profession in order to manage the site as CPM. The code
gives the readers a much better understanding of the role that architects play in construction and
how important it is to draw a clear line between functions of being an architect and being an
engineer. A CPM always works with both professionals so it is quite important that a CPM knows
the scope and limitation of each profession.
