Key Terminology Explanation

CIDB Contractor Grading (1GB): The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) is South Africa’s regulatory authority that classifies contractors based on financial capacity, historical project performance, and technical capability. A 1GB rating certifies a contractor as qualified to undertake medium-value building projects with specialised renovation expertise. This grading ensures the contractor has sufficient financial stability, managerial competence, and trade experience to deliver complex municipal renovation works efficiently and to required quality standards.
