Contractor Concentration (Flood Control)

A contractor holds a very large share of flood-control contract value in a district or province.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: QM BUILDERS received 47.0% (₱1.55B of ₱3.29B) of recorded flood-control contract value in Cebu 1st District Engineering Office across 37 contracts and 12 contractors, at or above the 25% share threshold (HHI 0.297). This may be due to the contractor's strong track record or specialization in flood-control projects in the area.
