Explanation of Key Terms

CIDB Grading (1GB): The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading system classifies contractors based on financial capacity, annual turnover, and verified past performance. A 1GB designation qualifies firms for building contracts typically valued between R5 million and R20 million, confirming their ability to independently manage complex renovation projects while adhering to quality, safety, and regulatory standards.
