Here are some of the things that you might take into consideration whenever you are in the process of scouting for the best independent contractor in Bacolod City.

Independent contractors (ICs) are established business that can stand on their own, and have an identity separate from that of the principal. (Here, the principal is the company that seeks the services of the contractor.) The business of an independent contractor is entirely different from the principal. So even without the existence of the principal, the ICs can likewise exist free from the control of the principal.

Independent contractors have their own tools, equipment, machinery and other implements. ICs, when contracted by a principal, utilize their own equipment to carry out the job that they are contracted for. This means that they would not be necessitating the principal to procure the equipment that they need in order for them to do their jobs. Take for instance, Dynamic Builders and Construction Co. (Phils.) Inc. (DBCCI), which is one of the highly respected contractors not only in Bacolod City, but all over Negros Island Region, including nearby provinces. DBCCI has its own equipment, machinery, tools, trucks, and even batching plants, all of which are necessary for the work they undertake, that is, construction of monolith projects all over the

Independent contractors have substantial capital. While the term “substantial capital” can be taken in various constructions, Department Order 18-A Series of 2011 of the Department of Labor and Employment is instructive on such matter. Under said Department Order, substantial capital for an independent contractor means that it must have at least PhP 3,000,000.00 worth of paid-up capital stock or shares. When this cannot be ascertained on the surface, you might want to consider taking a look at the office or sometimes known as the “site” in order for you to find out for yourself whether or not a particular contractor has complied with such requirement. One point of reference is Dynamic Builders, which has its main office at Alijis-Murcia Road, Bacolod City. By simply visiting their office, you can readily ascertain that the company has the capacity to undertake huge construction projects without flinching.

Independent contractors exercise supervision and control over their employees. They are the ones that direct the manner by which tasks are carried out by employees. The principal will be interested in the result or outcome of a certain project but it is the contractor that exercises supervision with regards to the method and manner by which the job is undertaken.

These are some of the considerations that you might want to consider if you would like to find out whether you are dealing with a legitimate independent contractor for a construction project in Bacolod City.
