Certificates and tests

TESDA issues national welding levels from NC I to NC III, and the level you ask for should match the work. For a welder qualification test, a school in Antipolo listed fees of ₱1,500 to ₱2,500 per certificate in an older fee list, depending on the test. Some international projects ask for a Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR) issued by a welding institute abroad, so state in the request whether you need one.

Equipment you may need to agree on

A 200-ampere inverter welder is listed on sale at ₱4,990, and a 300-ampere model at ₱5,499. Say in the request whether the welder brings a machine, and whether you supply gas, electrodes and wire, because the cost of these changes the offer.

Season and weather

Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City and Makati have a hot all-year climate with wet and dry seasons. The wet season runs from about June to November, so outdoor steel work often slows in heavy rain, and November is near its end. Ask for a rain plan in the request for site work, and for a covered workshop where stainless and aluminum parts can be welded.

What to write in the request

State the welding method (MIG, TIG or arc), the metal (steel, stainless or aluminum) and its thickness in millimeters, the grade you need, and the workplace. For pay, ask for a rate per day or per month in pesos, and state the schedule and whether the work is a short task or a longer contract. The employment type and the years of experience also help sellers reply precisely.

Get offers on BlaBlaPrice by describing the welding job in your own words in a free chat, with a photo of the part if it helps. The assistant asks for missing details, looks through welder and welding-equipment offers in the Philippines and shows the prices it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and availability, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them.

Which certificate level should the request name?

Is the rainy season a problem for welding?

It can be. Outdoor welding often slows in heavy rain, and the wet season runs from about June to November, so agree a rain plan for site work.
