Notes on Terminology

CIDB Contractor Grading: The CIDB is the South African regulatory body for the construction industry. The grading system classifies contractors based on financial turnover, class of work, and grade. A grading of 1GB denotes a specific category within this system, indicating the contractor's eligibility to undertake works up to a defined financial limit and complexity level appropriate to that grade. Tenderers must verify their current grading status to ensure compliance.
