- in case that the contractor has been operating in good record for 25 years or more, the contractor may renew his license every 3 years.
- in case that the contractor has been operating in good record for 10 years or more but less than 25 years, he may renew his license every 2 years.

 The renewal fee is 5 000 pesos and also same amount for original license.

 Renewal of license may be filed either in person or online, not earlier than 90 days but not later than 30 days upon expiration of the license

 Attempting to bid, construct to, or undertakes to construct without a license a violation and must be penalized with a fine of not less than 100 000 pesos, but not more
than 500 000 pesos, plus one –tenth of the total project cost. And will be prohibited to obtain a license for 1 year from the time he has found guilty.
