Explanation of Key Terms

CIDB Contractor Grading (3GB): This refers to the South African Construction Industry Development Board’s formal classification system that evaluates contractors’ financial turnover, past performance, and technical capacity. A 3GB grade authorises contractors to execute building and infrastructure projects up to a defined monetary threshold, ensuring they possess adequate experience, equipment, and management systems to deliver medium-scale renovation works without compromising quality, safety, or compliance.
