Lithebula Lemagrade e-CIDB 2026: Imikhawulo ye-Grade 1-9

Faka i-bid ku-tender yahulumende lengetulu kwe-grade yakho ye-CIDB, i-bid yakho iyalahlwa ngaphambi kwekutsi kube nemuntfu lofundza intsengo yakho. Emakhasimende ahulumende ahlola i-bid ngayinye kucala nge-grade nesigaba semsebenti (class of works). Nawungawufundzi kahle umkhawulo wakho, emahora akho ekulinganisa tindleko ayalahleka futsi i-tender iya kulomunye.

Lesikhombisi sinika lithebula lemagrade e-CIDB la-2026, nemkhawulo welinani le-tender ku-grade ngayinye kusukela ku-1 kuya ku-9. Sichaza kutsi emakhasimende ayisebentisa njani lemikhawulo ku-tender, kutsi i-Grade 4 idzingani kuwe, kutsi ngusiphi sigaba semsebenti lesifanele umsebenti wakho, nekutsi uhlela njani kunyuka kwakho kwe-grade lokulandzelako.

Ayini Emagrade Ebakhontileka e-CIDB?

I-grade ye-CIDB yinombolo kusukela ku-1 kuya ku-9 lebeka inkontileka yahulumende lenkhulu kunato tonkhe longafaka kuyo i-tender esigabeni semsebenti. I-Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) inika i-grade ngemuva kwekuhlola emandla akho etimali nemandla akho emsebenti. I-Grade 1 lizinga lekungena. I-Grade 9 ayinamkhawulo welinani le-tender.

I-grade yakho ivela ku-register nekhodi yesigaba semsebenti, sibonelo “5GB” (Grade 5, General Building) nome “3CE” (Grade 3, Civil Engineering). Ungaba nemagrade lehlukene etigabeni letehlukene. Umakhi angaba ngu-6GB na-2EB ngesikhatsi sinye.

Kutsi lesistimu isebenta njani iyonkhe, nekutsi emagrade ahlobana njani nekukhula, fundza i-CIDB grading ichaziwe.

Lithebula Lemagrade e-CIDB 2026: Imikhawulo Yelinani le-Tender nge-Grade

Lithebula lelingentasi libala linani le-tender lelisetulu kakhulu i-grade ngayinye ye-CIDB lengalitsatsa nga-2026, kusukela ku-R500,000 ku-Grade 1 kuya ekungabi nemkhawulo ku-Grade 9. Lemikhawulo ivela ku-Regulation 17 ye-CIDB Regulations (Table 8), leyagcina kulungiswa nga-2019 ngenca yekwenyuka kwemanani. Isebenta ngenkontileka ngayinye nangesigaba semsebenti ngasinye.

I-Grade	Umkhawulo welinani le-tender	Umsebenti lojwayelekile wephrojekthi	Umakhi lojwayelekile
1	Kuze kufike ku-R500,000	Kulungisa, kuvuselela lokuncane, ema-fit-out lamancane	Inkampani lensha nome lencane lephatswa ngumnikati
2	Kuze kufike ku-R1,000,000	Tindlu letincane, kuvuselela lokukhulu	Umakhi lomncane lonerekhodi yekucala

Umtfombo: cidb, Register of Contractors overview, kuhlolwe mhlaka 8 October 2026. I-cidb ingayilungisa lemikhawulo, ngako cinisekisa ku-register ngaphambi kwekufaka i-bid.

Kudawuniloda kwamahhala: Sikhombisi Sengcweti Sekwakha se-B-BBEE (PDF). Kutsi i-Construction Sector Code isebenta njani, kutsi emaphuzu ekutsenga abalwa njani, nemarekhodi lokufanele uwalungiselele ngaphambi kwe-tender yakho lelandzelako. Dawuniloda sikhombisi.

Emakhasimende Ayisebentisa Njani Imikhawulo ye-CIDB ku-Tender?

Emakhasimende aphatsanisa linani lelilinganisiwe lenkontileka ne-grade layicelako, bese alahla wonkhe umfaki we-bid longaphansi kwaleyo grade esigabeni semsebenti lesifanele. Lokuhlola kwenteka esigabeni sekufaneleka, ngaphambi kwentsengo nekusebenta. Intsengo lenhle angeke ayisindzise i-bid lehluleka kuko.

Emaphuzu lasihlanu ancuma kutsi i-bid yakho iyendlula yini:

Linani i-tender lelisebentisako. Idatha ye-tender ibeka i-grade lencane kakhulu, ngekwelinani lelilinganiswe likhasimende lenkontileka. Fundza kutsi i-tender ilichaza njani lelo linani. Ungaphikisi ngekutsi intsengo yakho iphansi.
Sigaba semsebenti. I-grade ye-6GB ayikuvumeli kufaka i-bid enkontilekeni lecela i-6CE.
Inkontileka ngayinye ngayodvwa. Umkhawulo usebenta ngenkontileka ngayinye. Ungaphatsa tinkontileka letinyenti ngesikhatsi sinye, uma nje ngayinye ingaphakatsi kwe-grade yakho.
Ema-lot. Uma i-tender inema-lot lamanyenti, i-grade lencane kakhulu ingasebenta nge-lot ngayinye. Fundza imitsetfo yekufaneleka ye-lot ngayinye.
Kusebenta ngesikhatsi sekuvalwa. I-grade yakho kufanele isebente ku-register nangabe i-tender ivalwa. I-grade lemiswe ngenca yekungentiwa kwekuvuselela kwemnyaka iyehluleka ekuhloleni.

Ema-tender lamanyenti abuye emukele umakhontileka lophansi nge-grade yinye uma lowo makhontileka anesimo se-”potentially emerging” (PE) ku-register. Saziso se-tender siyakusho nakusebenta, sibonelo “6GB or 5GB PE”.

Kunika lomunye umsebenti (subcontracting) akukushintji kufaneleka kwakho. Kubalwa i-grade yenhlangano lefaka i-bid, hhayi i-grade yetinkampani lohlela kutisebentisa. Ema-joint venture ehlukile: i-CIDB Regulations ivumela i-joint venture kutsi ifaneleke ngemandla lahlanganisiwe emalungu ayo, lapho i-tender ikuvumela. Tfola seluleko ngaphambi kwekwetsemba leyo ndlela.

Yenta kuhlola lokufanako ngaphambi kwe-bid ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi nge-luhlu lwetfu lwekuhlola kulandzela umtsetfo ku-tender yekwakha.

I-Grade Ngayinye Idzingani?

Kute utfole i-grade lengetulu kwe-Grade 1, kufanele ukhombise i-cidb emandla etimali nemandla emsebenti lafanana ne-grade loyicelako. Emandla etimali abuka imali lengenako yebhizinisi (turnover) nemali lekhona. Emandla emsebenti abuka inkontileka lenkhulu kunato tonkhe lowayicedza eminyakeni lesandza kwendlula. I-grade ngayinye inemanani ayo ekufaneleka.

Libanga le-grade	Loko i-cidb lekuhlolako	Loko emakhasimende nemakethe lakulindzele
1	Kute imali lengenako lencane nome umlandvo lodzingekako	Emadokhumenti enkampani, kulandzela umtsetfo wentfelo, kubhaliswa ku-CSD
2 kuya ku-4	Imali lengenako, imali lekhona, inkontileka lenkhulu leceduliwe	Titatimende tetimali letihlantekile, titifiketi tekucedza, bufakazi be-B-BBEE
5 kuya ku-6	Emanani ekufaneleka langetulu etintfweni letifanako	Licembu lebangcweti (QS, baphatsi besiza), tinhlelo tekuphepha nekhwalithi
7 kuya ku-9	Emanani ekufaneleka langetulu kakhulu	Ibhalansi shidi lecinile, emandla e-bonding, licembu leligcwele lebangcweti

Kunemaphuzu lamabili labonakalako lalandzela loku. Kwekucala, gcina bufakazi bayo yonkhe inkontileka leceduliwe: inkontileka lesayiniwe, sitifiketi senkhokhelo sekugcina nesitifiketi sekucedza. Kwesibili, gcina titatimende takho tetimali temnyaka tisesikhatsini. Titatimende letindzala nome letingakasayinwa tisizatfu lesivamile se-grade lephansi kunaloko bewukulindzele.

I-CIDB Grade 4 Ivumelani Futsi Idzingani?

I-CIDB Grade 4 ikuvumela kufaka ema-tender etinkontileka tahulumende kuze kufike ku-R6,000,000 esigabeni sakho semsebenti. Kunyatsela lokuvamile kubakhi labasuka etindlini letitodvwa baye etindlini temayunithi lamanyenti nasemsebentini lomncane webhizinisi. Ufaka sicelo ehhovisi lesifundza le-cidb futsi kufanele ukhombise imali lengenako, imali lekhona nenkontileka leceduliwe lehlangabetana nemanani ekufaneleka e-Grade 4.

Ngaphambi kwekufaka sicelo se-Grade 4, lungiselela:

Sigaba semsebenti lesifanele semsebenti lofuna kufaka kuwo i-bid, kuvamise kube yi-GB emsebentini wekwakha.
Imininingwane yenkampani lefanako ku-CIPC, ku-register ye-cidb, ku-Central Supplier Database (CSD), encwadzini yakho yebhange nakumadokhumenti akho e-tender.
Liphakethe letimali levela ku-akhawuntenti wakho lelihlanganisa sikhatsi i-cidb letasihlola.
Bufakazi bemlandvo wemsebenti, buhlelwe ngephrojekthi: inkontileka, i-akhawunti yekugcina, sitifiketi sekucedza nesincomo semakhasimende.

Kubambeteleka lokunyenti kwe-Grade 4 kuvela etinkingeni letilula telihhovisi: libito lenkampani lelehlukile emadokhumentini, kusayina lokushodako, umnyaka wetimali lophelelwe sikhatsi nome kuskena lokubi. Lungisa loku ngaphambi kwekutfumela.

Nawusuyitfolile i-Grade 4, hlela umsebenti wakho kutsi wakhe licala lakho le-Grade 5. Tinkontileka letiseduze ne-R6,000,000, letentiwe kahle futsi tavalwa ngemarekhodi lahlantekile, tinesisindvo lesikhulu kunemisebenti leminyenti lemincane.

Uphatsa kulandzela umtsetfo we-CIDB emaphrojekthini laphilako? I-Wakha ilandzelela tidzingo te-grade tephrojekthi ngayinye, emanani e-tender nebufakazi bekulandzela umtsetfo endzaweni yinye: buka i-demo yemkhicito.

Ngusiphi Sigaba Semsebenti Lesisebenta Kuwe?

Sigaba semsebenti luhlobo lwekwakha i-grade yakho leyihlanganisako, futsi i-tender icela kokubili i-grade nesigaba. Kubatfutfukisi betindlu nebakhi betindlu, sigaba lesikhulu yi-GB (General Building). Umsebenti we-civil lofana nemigwaco, tinsita letinkhulu ne-stormwater uwela ngaphansi kwe-CE (Civil Engineering).

Ikhodi	Sigaba semsebenti	Umsebenti lojwayelekile
GB	General Building	Tindlu, ema-estate etindlu, takhiwo tebhizinisi netahulumende
CE	Civil Engineering	Imigwaco, emanti lamanyenti nendle, i-stormwater, kumba umhlabatsi
ME	Mechanical Engineering	I-HVAC, imishini
EB	Electrical Engineering (building)	Kufakwa kwagesi etakhiweni
EP	Electrical Engineering (infrastructure)	Tintsambo tagesi, ema-substation, emalambu emigwaco
SA kuya ku-SQ	Imisebenti yebangcweti	Ikhodi yinye ngemsebenti wengcweti ngamunye, ibhalwe ku-register ye-cidb

Imikhawulo ekuthebula lemagrade iyafana kuso sonkhe sigaba. Lokushintjako bufakazi: i-grade yakho ye-CE yemukela etinkontilekeni takho te-civil, i-grade yakho ye-GB etinkontilekeni takho tekwakha.

Uma ibhizinisi lakho likakhulu ngumsebenti we-civil, i-grading ye-CE, tinkontileka te-GCC ne-remeasurement kumhlaba lowehlukile. Umkhicito wetfu lohlobene, i-Sakha, uyakuhlanganisa: buka i-CIDB CE grading yebakhontileka be-civil, inchubo yesitifiketi senkhokhelo se-GCC nesikhombisi se-software ye-civil engineering eNingizimu Afrika.

Unyuka Njani Uye Ku-Grade Lengetulu ye-CIDB?

Unyuka nge-grade ngekufaka sicelo ku-cidb nebufakazi bekutsi nyalo uyawahlangabetana nemanani emandla etimali nemsebenti e-grade lelandzelako. Kunyuka akwenteki ngekutentakalela. Inkontileka lenkhulu leceduliwe netitatimende tetimali letinemandla tiko letikunyusako, hhayi sikhatsi lesichitse ku-register.

Ngamafutsi:

Hlola emanani ekufaneleka e-grade loyifunako.
Butsa titatimende tetimali nebufakazi betinkontileka takho letinkhulu leticeduliwe.
Faka sicelo ehhovisi lakho lesifundza le-cidb bese ukhokha imali yekuphatsa ye-grade lensha.
Gcina kuvuselela kwakho kwemnyaka kusesikhatsini, ngaphandle kwaloko i-grade yakho ingamiswa.

Indlela leyiphelele, nebufakazi lokufanele ububutse nemaphutsa lamisa ticelo, ikuyo i-CIDB grading ichaziwe. Kubhaliswa kwekucala, kuvuselela netimali, landzela inchubo yekubhaliswa ku-CIDB.

Kwakha Lisu Le-Bid Ngekwemikhawulo Yakho

Lisu lelihle le-bid libhekisa kuphela kuma-tender i-grade yakho nesigaba sakho lokuhlanganisako, futsi likhetsa umsebenti lowakha licala le-grade yakho lelandzelako. Ema-bid langaphandle kwemikhawulo yakho achitsa sikhatsi selilinganisi tindleko. Laphakatsi kwayo, nawentiwe kahle, aba ngumlandvo wemsebenti sicelo sakho lesilandzelako lesiwudzingako.

Faka ema-bid nge-grade yakho kucala. Yonkhe iphrojekthi ye-grade yakho loyicedzako nemarekhodi lahlantekile icinisa kunyuka kwakho lokulandzelako.
Khetsa umsebenti lowakha licala lakho lekunyuka. Khetsa tinkontileka letiseduze nesicongo semkhawulo wakho kunemisebenti leminyenti lemincane.
Phatsa ema-returnable njengesistimu. Gcina liphakethe linye lekulandzela umtsetfo lelisesikhatsini: sitifiketi se-grade, simo sentfelo, umbiko we-CSD, sitifiketi se-B-BBEE netimali.
Hlola nema-sub-contractor. Uma ucasha ema-sub-contractor emsebentini wahulumende, cinisekisa i-grade nesigaba sawo. Sikhombisi setfu sekuhlola ema-sub-contractor nge-grade ye-CIDB sikhombisa kutsi kanjani.
Cabanga nge-joint venture kuphela uma i-tender iyikuvumela futsi uyacondza kutsi emandla lahlanganisiwe ahlolwa njani.

Umphumela Wekugcina

I-grade yakho ye-CIDB ibeka lisilingi kuyo yonkhe i-tender yahulumende longayiwina, ngako phatsa lithebula lemagrade njengelithuluzi lekuhlela. Yati umkhawulo wakho ngesigaba semsebenti, hlola i-grade lencane yeyonkhe i-tender nemitsetfo yema-lot ngaphambi kwekubeka intsengo, futsi gcina i-grade yakho isebenta ngekuvuselela kwemnyaka.

Bese usebentisa inkontileka ngayinye kwakha bufakazi be-grade lelandzelako. Bakhi labagcina titifiketi tekucedza, ema-akhawunti ekugcina netitatimende tetimali tihlelekile banyuka ngekushesha, ngobe sicelo sabo silungile nangabe umsebenti uphelile.

Imibuto Lebutwa Njalo

Yini i-grade ye-CIDB?

I-grade ye-CIDB lizinga, kusukela ku-1 kuya ku-9, i-Construction Industry Development Board lelibhalisa ngalo umakhontileka esigabeni semsebenti. Ibeka inkontileka yahulumende lenkhulu kunato tonkhe umakhontileka langafaka kuyo i-tender. I-Grade 1 ivumela tinkontileka kuze kufike ku-R500,000 kantsi i-Grade 9 ayinamkhawulo.

Ngumuphi umkhawulo welinani le-tender ku-CIDB Grade 4?

I-CIDB Grade 4 ikuvumela kufaka ema-tender etinkontileka tahulumende kuze kufike ku-R6,000,000 esigabeni semsebenti lowabekwa kuso. Umkhawulo usebenta ngenkontileka ngayinye, ngako ungaphatsa tinkontileka leti-Grade 4 letingetulu kweyinye ngesikhatsi sinye.

Ngingafaka yini i-tender yephrojekthi ye-R15,000,000 uma ngise-Grade 5?

Cha. I-Grade 5 ihlanganisa tinkontileka kuze kufike ku-R10,000,000. Inkontileka ye-R15,000,000 idzinga i-Grade 6, ngaphandle uma i-tender ivumela bakhontileka be-Grade 5 PE nome i-joint venture lenemandla lahlanganisiwe lahlangabetana nesidzingo.

Ngingafaka yini i-bid lengetulu kwe-grade yami uma ngihlela kunika lomunye incenye yemsebenti?

Cha. Kufaneleka kuya nge-grade yenhlangano lefaka i-bid, hhayi ngema-sub-contractor lohlela kuwasebentisa. Yi-joint venture kuphela, lapho i-tender iyivumela, lengafaneleka ngemandla lahlanganisiwe emalungu ayo.

Imikhawulo isebenta ngephrojekthi yini nome emsebentini wami wonkhe?

Imikhawulo isebenta ngenkontileka ngayinye. Ungaba netinkontileka letinyenti ngesikhatsi sinye uma ngayinye ingaphakatsi kwe-grade yakho. I-cidb iyawabuka emandla akho etimali onkhe nawufaka sicelo se-grade lengetulu.

Ngiyihlola njani i-grade ye-CIDB yemakhontileka?

Sesha ku-Register of Contractors ye-cidb ku-cidb.org.za ngelibito lenkampani nome ngenombolo yekubhaliswa. I-register ikhombisa i-grade ngayinye, sigaba semsebenti nelilanga lekuphelelwa sikhatsi. Kuhlole ngaphambi kwekucasha i-sub-contractor nome ngaphambi kwekutfumela i-bid ye-joint venture.
