We at the Primary Group of Builders (PGB) put quality and excellence at the forefront of our day-to-day goals to ensure that we deliver lasting products, and services of great value.
Multi-awarded & Highly-recommended
PGB’s numerous accolades and certifications speak for its reputation of being one of the most trusted corporations in the market.
Its subsidiaries, Concrete Solutions Incorporation and Primary Properties Corporation, have passed ISO’s latest version of its flagship quality management systems standards —the ISO9001:2015 —and have been accredited since 2018.
“Multi-awarded & Highly Recommended”: Primary Homes Inc, the Residential Real Estate affiliate of PGB, is also known for its award-winning subdivision and condominium projects both in the national and local market.
PGB has also received a Humanitarian Award from the Philippine Contractors Association, Inc. in 1999, an Outstanding Corporate Member Award from the Personnel Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP Cebu) in 2002, and was named Most Outstanding Contractors & Builders during the Philippine Marketing Excellence Awards (Metro Cebu Awards) in 2007.
On top of it all, PGB’s corporate foundation, Primary Structures Educational Foundation Inc. (PSEFI), has maintained affiliations with the Funds for NGOs – Grants and Resources for Sustainability, Association of Foundations, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Cebu Contractors Association, League of Corporate Foundations, Coalition for Better Education, Canadian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, and the Association of Carrier and Equipment Lessors.
Responsibility
PGB aspires to not only build lasting structures but also forge lasting relationships within the community and society. That is why PGB and its subsidiaries have taken initiatives in organizing programs that support relevant and timely causes.
Assessment Certification and Accreditation Program
As the leading training and certifying institution on technical-vocational courses in all construction-related trades and the only training and certifying entity for heavy equipment operations in the country, PGB’s Primary Structures Educational Foundation Inc. (PSEFI) has been working closely with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the government’s technical-vocational training arm, to provide its deserving scholars with high-quality training for hospitality and construction-related competencies.
Advocacy for Women
Women can do what a man can. PGB highly upholds gender equality in the workplace regardless of position or nature of work. In fact, PGB has female truck drivers, carpenters, and handywomen who also receive equal treatment, job opportunities, and training as that of their male colleagues.
Inspiring Change for Differently Abled Persons
For PGB, being differently abled doesn’t mean that you can’t get ahead in life. Through Primary Structures Educational Foundation Inc. (PSEFI) and School of Knowledge for Industrial Labor, Leadership and Service (SKILLS), PGB offers technical skills training programs for the hearing impaired to help them reintegrate into society and land job opportunities. PGB also employs more than a hundred hearing impaired employees who are now working as documentation-in-charge.
Environmental Programs
As a constant responsibility to the planet that we call home, each of the subsidiaries of PGB has initiated environmental programs among their neighboring communities. Among these initiatives are the quarterly tree planting activities, Concrete Solution Inc.’s bi-annual clean-up drives, and AAC Lightweight Block Corporation’s usage of recycled plastic bottles as one of the ingredients of its pavers.
Disaster Response and Rehabilitation
In times of calamities, PGB has always been there to provide help in any way possible. After the super typhoon Yolanda, Concrete Solutions Inc. (CSI) volunteered one of its ships to transport donations to the affected areas. PGB has also been one with the people of Naga City and Ronda, Cebu, in helping them get back up after the disasters—Naga landslide and typhoon Senyang—that have struck them.
Medical Missions
One of the things that are at the very core of a happy home is the health and wellness of every member of the family. That is why PGB has been organizing medical missions and programs to promote health and wellness among Filipino families. These programs include PGB’s yearly partnership with Red Cross for a quarterly blood donation campaign and CSI’s annual “Tuli” operations that cater to remote areas in the region.
Scout Training
PGB’s training center, SKILLS, is the only Senior High School that offers Scout Training to its students. This is to instill in the young minds of the students the importance of life skills and leadership and help them build their confidence and self-esteem that will prepare them for adult life as independent and responsible individuals.
Promotion of Bisaya Music and Culture
As a proudly Cebuano conglomerate, PGB has always incorporated the rich Cebuano culture in its products and services. Taking it a step further, PGB organized the first Bisaya acapella competition, Bpop: The Acapella Challenge, in 2018 in a pursuit to promote the thriving Bisaya music scene. Choir groups from communities and schools all over Cebu auditioned to be part of this pioneering event which concluded in a face-off among five finalists.
