A Guide to the Building Code IRR

Delays in construction permits and clearances arise due to the conflicting interpretation of the Building Code of the Philippines among the government authorities, technical professionals and property owners and developers. It’s time to set the record straight! The Center for Global Best Practices is having a special program entitled, “Property Developers’ Guide to the Building Code IRR of the Philippines” on Thursday and Friday, March 15 & 16, 2018 at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City, Philippines. 

This two-day lecture is designed to provide a clear guideline to the 2005 IRR of the Building Code of the Philippines.  This is also to help the different stakeholders align with it the different referral codes such as the Architectural, Structural, Plumbing, Sanitation, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical and Interior design codes. The seminar will include valuable insights on how to fast track your building permits, updates on the latest government issuances, memorandums, and decided cases on conflicts affecting building construction and maintenance as well as remedies to stoppage orders. It also aims to empower the private sector, including property owners and administrators, developers, contractors, and technical professionals, in their government dealings and transactions especially with bureaucratic, errant or corrupt building officials to address issues concerning delays in getting approval for clearances, permits, and inspection of ongoing and finished construction projects, among others. This program is also highly recommended to all lawyers, judges, and public officials involved in the planning, review, inspection, approval and adjudication of different types of construction projects.

He presently serves as a consultant at the DPWH National Building Code Development Office and the LGU of Quezon City. He is also a technical expert on adjudication cases involving construction-related lawsuits. He has over 40 years of experience in the construction industry and is a consultant of many local and international firms especially in solving their most challenging issues in dealing with the government.
