I-CIDB Grading Ihlathululwa: Amagrade 1 ukuya ku-9

Bhida ekhontrageni yomkhakha womphakathi engaphezu kwegrade yakho ye-CIDB, begodu ithenda yakho ibekwa eqadi ngaphambi kobana umuntu afunde intengo yakho. Igrade yakho iquma ukuthi ngiziphi iinkhontraga ongazibhidela, begodu ubufakazi bakho buquma ukuthi ungakhuphuka msinyana kangangani. Abakhontraga abanengi, ngitjho nabanelwazi, abaqiniseki ukuthi igrade yabo ivumelani namkha ukuthi i-cidb iqalani ngamambala nabafaka isicelo sokukhuphuka.

Igayidi le ihlathulula ukuthi yini i-CIDB grading, indlela iinzigaba zomsebenzi namagrade ahlangana ngayo, lokho igrade ngayinye ekuvumelako, indlela i-cidb ebeka ngayo igrade yakho, indlela yokuhlela ukukhuphuka kanye nendlela abahloli bethenda abahlola ngayo igrade yakho.

Yini i-CIDB Grading?

I-CIDB grading yisistimu i-Construction Industry Development Board eyisebenzisako ukuhlela abakhontraga ukusuka ku-Grade 1 ukuya ku-Grade 9 ngokuya ngenani lekhontraga elikhulu khulu abangalithatha. Igrade ngayinye ihlanganiswe nesigaba somsebenzi, esifana ne-general building namkha i-civil engineering. Amakhasimende womkhakha womphakathi asebenzisa igrade ukuquma ukuthi ngubani ongabhidela ikhontraga.

I-cidb sihlangano somthetho esasungulwa ngaphasi kwe-Construction Industry Development Board Act 38 of 2000. Igcina i-Register of Contractors yezwe loke. Nawubhalisako, ufaka isicelo segrade esigabeni ngasinye somsebenzi osifunako. Umphumela yi-grading designation yakho, etlolwa njengenomboro yegrade elandelwa yikhowudi yesigaba. Isibonelo:

3GB itjho i-Grade 3 ku-general building.
5CE itjho i-Grade 5 ku-civil engineering.

Ukubhalisa nokufakwa egradeni kwenzeka ndawonye. Ufaka isicelo segrade ethileko nawubhalisako, begodu ufaka godu nawufuna ukukhuphuka. Isicelo sinyathelo ngesinyathelo, bona igayidi yethu yenqubo yokubhalisa ku-CIDB.

I-grading isiza amakhasimende nabakhontraga. Amakhasimende athola ifiltha yobungozi esheshako: ikhontraga enegrade efaneleko itjengise amandla wezeemali newomsebenzi wekhontraga yobukhulu lobo. Abakhontraga bathola indlela ecacileko yokukhula, igrade yinye ngesikhathi.

Ngiziphi Iinzigaba Zomsebenzi ze-CIDB?

Isigaba somsebenzi sihlathulula uhlobo lokwakha ofakwe egradeni kilo, begodu isigaba ngasinye sinegrade yaso. Ungaba ne-Grade 6 ku-general building ne-Grade 2 emsebenzini wegesi ngesikhathi sinye. Isigaba esekubhalisweni kwakho kufuze sifane nesigaba ithenda esibawako, ngaphandle kwalokho awufaneleki.

Ikhowudi	Isigaba somsebenzi	Umsebenzi ojayelekileko
GB	General building	Izindlu, amaphrojekthi wezindlu, iinkolo, imitjhoga, izakhiwo zebhizinisi
CE	Civil engineering	Imigwaqo, i-stormwater, amanethiwekhi wamanzi nendle, amabhorho
EB	Electrical works (building)	Ukufakwa kwegesi ezakhiweni
EP	Electrical works (infrastructure)	Imigca yegesi, ama-substation, amalambu wemigwaqo
ME	Mechanical engineering	I-HVAC, amalifti, amaphompo, iinsetjenziswa zemetjhini
SB ukuya ku-SQ	Iinzigaba ezikhethekileko	Imisebenzi ethileko efana ne-piling, ukudiliza, i-asphalt namkha ukubiyela

Umthombo: cidb, Register of Contractors overview, kwahlolwa ngo-08-10-2026.

Abakhi bezindlu zokuhlala nabathuthukisi ngokunengi basebenza ku-GB. I-infrastructure ye-estate, efana nemigwaqo yangaphakathi neensetjenziswa, ngokuvamileko ithendelwa ngaphasi kwe-CE. Nangabe imisebenzi ye-civil libhizinisi lakho elikhulu, umkhiqizo wethu odadwethu uhlathulula icala leli kugayidi yawo yesoftware ye-civil engineering.

Bhalisa esigabeni esitjha kwaphela nawuqede umsebenzi ongawufakazela esigabeni leso. Isigaba esingenabo ubufakazi sizokuhlala ku-Grade 1.

Igrade Ngayinye ye-CIDB Ivumelani?

Igrade ngayinye ibeka umkhawulo ophezulu wenani lethenda ongalibhidela, ukusuka ku-R500,000 ku-Grade 1 ukuya ekungabini namkhawulo ku-Grade 9. Imikhawulo le ivela ku-Regulation 17 ye-CIDB Regulations (Table 8), njengoba yalungiswa ngo-2019. Ithebula elingaphasi liyifinyeza nohlobo lomsebenzi igrade ngayinye evame ukuwufaka.

Igrade	Umkhawulo wenani lethenda	Umsebenzi ojayelekileko ku-GB
1	R500,000	Ukulungisa, ukuvuselela okuncani, ukunakekela
2	R1,000,000	Izindlu ezizodwa, ukuvuselela okukhulu
3	R3,000,000	Iingaba ezincani zezindlu, izakhiwo ezincani zebhizinisi
4	R6,000,000	Izindlu zamayunithi amanengi, iinkolo, imitjhoga
5	R10,000,000	Amaphrojekthi amakhulu wezindlu, izakhiwo zomasipala
6	R20,000,000	Iintuthukiso ezikhulu zezindlu zokuhlala nezebhizinisi
7	R60,000,000	Iintuthukiso ezikhulu, amaphrojekthi arhabeleko wemisebenzi eminengi
8	R200,000,000	Amahlelo amakhulu khulu womphakathi nawangasese
9	Akunamkhawulo	Amaphrojekthi wezwe amakhulu khulu

Ikholamu “yomsebenzi ojayelekileko” yisibonelo kwaphela. Umkhawulo wenani yiwo obalekako. Ukuthola ireferensi ezeleko eneemali namanothi wokukhuphuka ngegrade ngayinye, bona ithebula lamagrade we-CIDB nemikhawulo yethenda.

Ngokwamambala, amagrade ahlukaniswa abe ziingaba ezine:

Amagrade 1 no-2: ukungena. Iinkhontraga ezincani, iimfuneko zobufakazi ezilula. I-Grade 1 ibhaliswa ku-inthanethi ngaphandle komlando womsebenzi. Lapha kulapho abakhi abatjha abanengi bathoma khona begodu bafunde ukutlola umsebenzi ngamunye.
Amagrade 3 no-4: ikhontraga encani esele izinzile. Igadango lokuya ku-Grade 3 lapho abakhontraga abanengi bamakhamaka khona, ngombana nje i-cidb ilindele iinsitatimende zeemali ezifaneleko nekhontraga eqediweko yobukhulu bamambala esigabeni.
Amagrade 5 no-6: imakethe ephakathi. Iinkhontraga ze-R10,000,000 ukuya ku-R20,000,000 zidinga ukuphathwa kwesayithi, ukulawula iindleko ne-balance sheet eqinileko. Amakhasimende ezingeni leli avamise ukwengeza iimfuneko zawo, ezifana neensistimu zekhwalithi namkha zokuphepha.
Amagrade 7 ukuya ku-9: abakhontraga abakhulu. Amagrade la adinga imali enengi nomlando weenkhontraga ezikhulu eziqediweko. Amahlelo amakhulu khulu womphakathi alapha.

I-CIDB Iyiquma Njani Igrade Yakho?

I-cidb ikufaka egradeni ngezinto ezimbili: amandla wezeemali namandla womsebenzi esigabeni somsebenzi ofaka isicelo kiso. Amandla wezeemali aqala i-turnover yakho nemali ekhona. Amandla womsebenzi aqala ikhontraga ekulu khulu oyiqedileko esigabeni leso. Kokubili kufuze kusekele igrade ofaka isicelo sayo.

Amandla wezeemali. Iinsitatimende zakho zeemali zomnyaka zitjengisa i-turnover nemali ekhona. Lokha igrade iphakama, iinsitatimende zakho kufuze zibe semthethweni khulu. Ibhizinisi elirhweba ngokulahlekelwa namkha elinemali encani lizokuba budisi ukukhuphuka, ngitjho nanyana linamaphrojekthi amahle ngemva kwalo.

Amandla womsebenzi. I-cidb ifuna ubufakazi bokuthi uqede ikhontraga yobukhulu obuthileko esigabeni esifanako. Ubufakazi obuqinileko bufaka:

Ikhontraga esayiniweko namkha incwadi yokuqatjhwa
Isitifiketi sokuqedwa namkha isitifiketi senkokhelo yokugcina (JBCC, NEC namkha GCC)
Incwadi yereferensi evela ekhasimendeni namkha ku-principal agent
I-final account etjengisa inani lekhontraga

Ezinye izinto ziqakathekile ebhizinisini lakho kodwana aziyomigomo ye-CIDB grading. Isimo se-B-BBEE, isibonelo, sithinta amaphoyinti wakho wokukhethwa (preference points) esigabeni sethenda. Funda igayidi yethu ye-B-BBEE construction sector code ukubona indlela lokho okusebenza ngayo. Isitifiketi se-ISO namkha abasebenzi abathileko bangafunwa likhasimende ethendeni, kodwana akubeki igrade yakho ye-CIDB.

Uyikhuphula Njani Igrade Yakho ye-CIDB?

Ukhuphuka ngokufaka isicelo eofisini yephrovinsi ye-cidb nobufakazi obutjha bezeemali nobomsebenzi obusekela igrade ephezulu. Ukukhuphuka akwenzeki ngokuzenzakalela. Isicelo yingcenye elula. Umsebenzi wamambala kwakha imithombo emithathu yobufakazi phakathi nomnyaka, ukuze iphakheji yakho ilungele lokha amanani wakho afaneleka.

Yakha imithombo emithathu yobufakazi

Umthombo wobufakazi	Lokho obufakazelako	Lokho okufuze ukugcine, iphrojekthi ngephrojekthi
Ukwenza	Uqeda umsebenzi wobukhulu lobu esigabeni lesi	Ama-site diary, izithombe zokuragela phambili, iinsitifiketi zokuqedwa, iireferensi zekhasimende
Okwezebhizinisi	Uphatha imali neenguquko zekhontraga ngokufaneleko	Iinsitifiketi zenkokhelo, ama-variation order, ama-final account
Ukuthobela	Ibhizinisi lakho lisesimeni esihle	I-Tax Compliance Status, iphrofayili ye-CSD, umtlolo we-CIPC, isitifiketi se-B-BBEE, i-inshorensi

Ukubambezeleka okunengi kokukhuphuka kuvela eenkhaleni zomunye wemithombo le. Iphrojekthi yaqedwa, kodwana akekho owafayila isitifiketi sokuqedwa. Ama-variation avunyelwana nge-WhatsApp, ngalokho i-final account ayikghoni ukuhlathululwa. Ibizo lekhampani encwadini yebhanga alifani nomtlolo we-CSD. Ikhala ngalinye litjho umbuzo, begodu umbuzo ngamunye utjho amaviki alahlekileko.

Isilungiso kuphatha ubufakazi njengengcenye yokwenza umsebenzi. Fayila isitifiketi sokuqedwa ngelanga osithola ngalo. Gcina i-site diary yelanga ngalinye. Tlola yoke i-variation. Isoftware ehlanganisa amadokhumenti, ama-site diary, ama-variation order neensitifiketi zenkokhelo nephrojekthi ngayinye yenza lokhu kube yinto ejayelekileko. I-Wakha yenza lokhu kubakhi bezindlu zokuhlala nabathuthukisi, begodu i-autocompliance tracker yayo iveza amadokhumenti azokuphelelwa sikhathi ngaphambi kobana avimbe isicelo.

Hlela umsebenzi wakho ngokuya egradeni elandelako

Indlela esheshako yokukhuphuka luhlu lweenkhontraga ezingaphakathi kwegrade ezisondele kumkhawulo wakho wanje. Ikhontraga ye-Grade 3 eqeda ikhontraga ye-GB ye-R2,800,000 yakha ubufakazi bokukhuphuka obungcono kuneqeda imisebenzi emihlanu ye-R400,000. Khetha amathenda ucabanga igrade yakho elandelako.

Faka isicelo sokukhuphuka

Qinisekisa ukuthi iinsitatimende zakho zeemali zamva nje zisayiniwe begodu zisekela igrade etjha.
Buthelela ubufakazi bomsebenzi bekhontraga yakho ekulu khulu eqediweko esigabeni.
Qinisekisa ukuthi iinkomba zakho ziyafana ku-CIPC, CSD, SARS nebhanga lakho.
Faka isicelo eofisini yakho yephrovinsi begodu ubhadele imali yokuphatha yegrade etjha.
Phendula imibuzo msinyana, usebenzisa iinkomba ezifanako nezeminye iphakheji.

Izinga le-cidb lama-Grade 2 ukuya ku-9 kufika emalangeni womsebenzi ama-21, lokha iphakheji isiphelele.

Ulawula ukuthobela kwe-CIDB emaphrojekthini asebenzako? I-Wakha igcina amadokhumenti wephrojekthi ngayinye, iinsitifiketi zokuqedwa nobufakazi bokuthobela endaweni yinye, kulungele ukukhuphuka kwakho okulandelako namkha ithenda: bona idemo yomkhiqizo.

Amathenda Ayihlola Njani Igrade Yakho ye-CIDB?

Abahloli bahlola igrade yakho esangweni lokuthoma, ngaphambi kobana intengo namkha ukusebenza kunikelwe amaphoyinti. Bafanisa i-grading designation yakho nobuncani obutjhiwo ku-tender data. Nangabe igrade namkha isigaba sakho asifani, namkha ukubhaliswa kwakho akusebenzi, ibhidi ayihlolwa. Intengo ephasi ayisizi.

Lokho umhloli akuhlolako	Lokho okutjho kuwe
Igrade vs inani lethenda	Ithenda itjho igrade encani khulu, ngokuya ngelinganiso lekhasimende lenani lekhontraga. Funda indlela ithenda ehlathulula ngayo inani lelo.
Isigaba somsebenzi vs umsebenzi	Igrade ye-GB ayikufanelisi ethendeni ye-CE, ngitjho encani.
Isimo sokubhaliswa ngelanga lokuvala	Igrade yakho kufuze isebenze erejistareni. Igrade emisiweko namkha ephelelwe sikhathi iyahluleka.
