In Pakistan, the O1 to O6 categories are categories of contracting engineering firms recognized by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). These categories are based on the size and scope of the company’s operations, and each category has its own specific requirements for registration.
Here is a brief overview of the O1 to O6 categories:
O1: This is the highest category of contracting engineering firms, and it is reserved for large companies with extensive resources and capabilities. To be eligible for this category, a company must have a minimum net worth of PKR 50 million and at least 50 technical staff members who are licensed engineers in Pakistan.
O2: This category is for contracting engineering firms that are slightly smaller than O1 firms, with a minimum net worth of PKR 25 million and at least 25 technical staff members who are licensed engineers in Pakistan.
O3: This category is for contracting engineering firms with a minimum net worth of PKR 15 million and at least 15 technical staff members who are licensed engineers in Pakistan.
