How we check
OroStandard lists builders and architects in Cagayan de Oro. Two separate things are at work: listing rules decide who is listed, and the Checked tag tells you whether we looked up the license ourselves.
Who gets listed
Every business on the site meets all three listing rules:
- The business is real and operating, with a working contact.
- At least three finished projects, credited to the business, with photos used with permission.
- The owner approved the page before it went live.
What the Checked tag means
Only this: we looked up the license ourselves in the official list (PCAB for contractors, PRC for architects) and recorded the number and the date. It is not a rating, an endorsement or a check of the listing rules above. Licenses can lapse, so the date matters. Ask to see the current card before you sign.
Business-stated
The business told us. We have not verified it. A business can be listed while its license is Business-stated. Confirm it directly before you hire.
On a profile, each detail in the "What we checked" table carries its own tag, so you can see which details we looked up and which the business told us.
What we do not do
- No star ratings and no ads.
- Listings are A to Z, Checked first. Payment never changes the order.
- We do not endorse any business or guarantee its work.
