Explanation of Key Terms

CIDB Grading (2GB): The Construction Industry Development Board contractor classification system used in South Africa. A 2GB grade denotes a medium-level capacity for executing building projects, indicating the contractor possesses sufficient financial, technical, and managerial resources to handle projects within a defined monetary threshold.

CSD Approved: Refers to verification and approval through the National Treasury’s Central Supplier Database. This is a mandatory government procurement requirement that confirms a supplier’s legal standing, tax compliance, and eligibility to contract with public entities.

3m Elevation Work: Construction or maintenance activities performed at or above three metres in height. This classification triggers strict regulatory requirements for fall arrest systems, scaffolding certification, and worker training to prevent falls and ensure site safety.
