DATEM Incorporated

What DATEM Incorporated does

DATEM Incorporated is a privately held Philippine general contractor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Quezon City, operating primarily in Metro Manila with project sites extending to Cebu, Aklan, Cavite, and Laguna. The company delivers building construction across commercial, office, residential, hotel and resort, institutional (including healthcare and education), and infrastructure categories, working for blue-chip Philippine developers (Megaworld, Robinsons Land, SM Development, Shang Properties, Araneta, Rockwell, Ortigas Land, ArthaLand, Federal Land) and corporates (UNILAB, St. Luke's, UST, De La Salle University, ABS-CBN, Travellers International) on a quote-based, project-contract basis through direct business-development relationships.

The core technical offering bundles engineering and construction services with a vertically integrated precast capability (Cavite Precast Yard) that the company claims reduces build time by at least 20% and labor requirements while producing 4,000 psi precast walls. DATEM layers on a green building practice that has delivered a 100% certification success rate across LEED (including the Philippines' first LEED v4.1 Platinum at Makati Commerce Tower), BERDE, EDGE Zero Carbon, WELL Gold, and Green Mark programs, supported by a Green Materials Directory and ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications. A wholly owned subsidiary, DATEM Water Inc., extends into water and wastewater treatment.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven, typically multi-year, with no public pricing and no recurring SaaS-style revenue. Money is earned by winning competitive bids on large vertical builds and infrastructure (e.g., LRT-1 Cavite Extension subcontract for four stations under Bouygues Travaux Publics; Cyberpark 3 at PHP 5 billion for the Araneta Group), then recognizing income over the construction period. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with no channel intermediaries, and the customer base is anchored to the largest Philippine developers and corporate end-users.
