Global Quality Services certifies P.B. Obial Construction under ISO 9001:2015, recognizing the company’s commitment to quality management across its construction operations in Cebu.
MANILA, Philippines, April 29, 2025
Global Quality Services (GQS), a leading ISO certification consultancy and accredited lead auditor training provider operating across the Philippines and Southeast Asia, has successfully completed the ISO 9001:2015 certification process for P.B. Obial Construction. The certification confirms that P.B. Obial Construction has established and maintains a Quality Management System (QMS) that meets the full requirements of ISO 9001:2015, the world’s most widely adopted standard for quality management in business operations.
ISO 9001:2015 sets the international benchmark for how organizations plan, execute, monitor, and improve their processes to consistently deliver products and services that meet client and regulatory requirements. For construction companies, certification under this standard demonstrates systematic control over project planning, subcontractor management, materials procurement, site safety procedures, and client satisfaction, areas where lapses carry direct cost, reputational, and legal consequences. Globally, over one million organizations across 170 countries hold ISO 9001 certification, making it the definitive mark of quality system credibility in competitive tendering and procurement.
P.B. Obial Construction, headquartered in Talisay City, Cebu, has built its track record by delivering government and private-sector construction projects across the Cebu region, including infrastructure and building works for public institutions. Achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification formalizes the quality controls that underpin those operations and strengthens the company’s position in public bidding processes, where certification increasingly forms part of technical eligibility requirements under the Government Procurement Reform Act (Republic Act 9184).
The GQS audit was conducted through a structured two-stage process. Stage one involved a review of P.B. Obial Construction’s QMS documentation, including its quality policy, organizational objectives, process maps, risk and opportunity register, and internal audit procedures. Stage two comprised a full-on-site conformity audit across the company’s operations, assessing the implementation of controls in project management, procurement, human resources, equipment management, and client communication. P.B. Obial Construction successfully completed both stages of the audit.
“Construction companies operating in the government procurement space face a high bar on quality accountability, and ISO 9001:2015 gives P.B. Obial Construction the documented framework to meet that bar consistently,”.
The certification is valid for three years and subject to annual surveillance audits conducted by GQS to verify ongoing conformance and continual improvement of the QMS.
