Explanation of Key Terms

CIDB Contractor Grading (1GB): This refers to the Construction Industry Development Board’s formal classification system used in South Africa. A 1GB grade certifies that a contractor has the verified financial turnover, relevant project experience, and organisational capacity to execute construction or renovation projects valued within a specific high-tier range. It ensures the bidder can manage complex scopes, supply chains, and compliance obligations without compromising project delivery or municipal risk exposure.
