Are you ready to move your construction business from informal jobs to legitimate, profitable public sector projects? CIDB Grade 1 Registration is your official entry ticket into the formal construction industry in South Africa.
What is CIDB? A Simple Guide
The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) is the official government body that regulates the construction industry in South Africa. Its goal is to oversee the industry and ensure quality and performance. To work on any government construction project (for schools, roads, public housing etc.), a contractor *must* be registered with the CIDB. The registration is done in “Grades” (from 1 to 9) based on the company’s financial and operational capability. Grade 1 is the starting point for all new contractors.
