Society of Philippine Electrotechnical Constructors and Suppliers, Inc.
The Society of Philippine Electrical Contractors (SPEC) was established in the City of Manila in 1968 comprising of licensed electrical construction companies accredited with the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB). SPEC is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-stock, non-profit corporation.
The main objective at some point during its founding was to protect electrical contractors from going out of business due to the restrictions and difficulties of specialty contracting in earlier period.
SPEC was renamed the Society of Philippine Electrical Contractors and Suppliers, Inc. (SPECS) in 1994 because the regular contractor members wanted to recognize more appropriately the important role of its non-contractor associate members composed of companies supplying and/or manufacturing quality electrical equipment, materials and public utility services.
The continuing and changing requirements of the Society in a rapidly changing and technologically progressive world directed the Board to change the name from “ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS” to “ELECTROTECHNICAL CONSTRUCTORS” to define the members’ scope of work and identity. The Board’s approval during the Regular Board Meeting held on June 23, 2009 was substantiated by the ratification of the Bylaws during the General Membership Meeting on August 12, 2009. SEC approval was released on March 23, 2010.
SPECS standardized its office management procedures by forging a service contract for ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System in May 5, 2017. On the 19th of January 2022, the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Certificate No. MYQ217P10S119 was granted to SPECS.
