Abathengi Bayisebenzisa Njani Imida ye-CIDB eThendeni?

Abathengi bathelekisa ixabiso eliqikelelweyo lekhontrakthi negrade abayicelayo, emva koko bagatye nabani na ofake ithenda ongaphantsi kwelo grade kudidi olufanelekileyo lomsebenzi. Olu hlolo lwenzeka kwinqanaba lokufaneleka, phambi kwexabiso nokusebenza. Ixabiso elihle alinakuyisindisa ithenda engaphumelelanga kolu hlolo.

Iingongoma ezintlanu zigqiba ukuba ithenda yakho iyaphumelela na:

Ixabiso elisetyenziswa yithenda. Iinkcukacha zethenda zichaza igrade esezantsi, ngokusekelwe kuqikelelo lomthengi lwexabiso lekhontrakthi. Funda indlela ithenda elichaza ngayo elo xabiso. Musa ukuphikisa ngelithi ixabiso lakho liphantsi.
Udidi lomsebenzi. Igrade ye-6GB ayikuvumeli ukuba ufake ithenda kwikhontrakthi ecela u-6CE.
Ikhontrakthi nganye ngokwayo. Umda usebenza kwikhontrakthi nganye. Unokuqhuba iikhontrakthi ezininzi ngaxeshanye, ukuba nje nganye ingaphakathi kwegrade yakho.
Iilothi (lots). Xa ithenda ineelothi ezininzi, igrade esezantsi inokusebenza kwilothi nganye. Funda imithetho yokufaneleka yelothi nganye.
Ukusebenza ngexesha lokuvala. Igrade yakho kufuneka isebenze kwirejista xa ithenda ivala. Igrade enqunyanyisiweyo ngenxa yohlaziyo lonyaka olungenziwanga iyasilela kolu hlolo.

Iithenda ezininzi zikwamkela unokontraka ongaphantsi ngegrade enye ukuba unokontraka lowo unewonga le-”potentially emerging” (PE) kwirejista. Isaziso sethenda siyakuchaza oko xa kusebenza, umzekelo “6GB or 5GB PE”.

Ukunika umsebenzi kwii-sub-contractor akuyitshintshi ukufaneleka kwakho. Kubalwa igrade yequmrhu elifaka ithenda, hayi igrade yeefemu oceba ukuzisebenzisa. Ii-joint venture zahlukile: i-CIDB Regulations ivumela i-joint venture ukuba ifaneleke ngamandla adityanisiweyo amalungu ayo, apho ithenda ivumela khona. Fumana icebiso phambi kokuba uthembele kuloo ndlela.

Yenza uhlolo olufanayo phambi kwethenda qho usebenzisa uluhlu lwethu lokuthobela kwethenda yolwakhiwo.

Ifuna Ntoni Igrade Nganye?

Ukuze ufumane igrade engaphezulu kweGrade 1, kufuneka ubonise i-cidb amandla ezemali namandla omsebenzi ahambelana negrade oyicelayo. Amandla ezemali ajonga ingeniso yakho nemali-mali ekhoyo. Amandla omsebenzi ajonga eyona khontrakthi inkulu oyigqibileyo kwiminyaka yakutshanje. Igrade nganye ineenqobo zayo zamaxabiso okufaneleka.

Iqela leegrade	Into ehlolwa yi-cidb	Into elindelwe ngabathengi nemarike
1	Akukho ngeniso esezantsi okanye rekhodi yomsebenzi	Amaxwebhu enkampani, ukuthobela irhafu, ubhaliso lwe-CSD
2 ukuya ku-4	Ingeniso, imali-mali ekhoyo, eyona khontrakthi inkulu egqityiweyo	Iingxelo zezemali ezicocekileyo, izatifikethi zokugqitywa, ubungqina be-B-BBEE
5 ukuya ku-6	Amaxabiso okufaneleka aphezulu ngeenqobo ezifanayo	Iqela leengcali (QS, abaphathi besiza), iinkqubo zokhuseleko nomgangatho
7 ukuya ku-9	Awona maxabiso okufaneleka aphezulu	Ibhalansi eyomeleleyo, amandla e-bond, iqela elipheleleyo leengcali

Iingongoma ezimbini ezisebenzayo zilandela koku. Okokuqala, gcina ubungqina bayo yonke ikhontrakthi egqityiweyo: ikhontrakthi esayiniweyo, isatifikethi sentlawulo yokugqibela nesatifikethi sokugqitywa. Okwesibini, gcina iingxelo zakho zezemali zonyaka zihlaziyiwe. Iingxelo ezindala okanye ezingasayinwanga sesinye sezizathu eziqhelekileyo zokufumana igrade ephantsi kunale ubuyilindele.

IGrade 4 ye-CIDB Ivumela Ntoni Kwaye Ifuna Ntoni?

IGrade 4 ye-CIDB ikuvumela ukuba ufake ithenda kwiikhontrakthi zikawonke-wonke ukuya kuthi ga kwi-R6,000,000 kudidi lwakho lomsebenzi. Linyathelo eliqhelekileyo kubakhi abasuka kwizindlu ezizodwa besiya kwizindlu zeeyunithi ezininzi nomsebenzi omncinci worhwebo. Ufaka isicelo kwi-ofisi yephondo ye-cidb kwaye kufuneka ubonise ingeniso, imali-mali nekhontrakthi egqityiweyo ehlangabezana namaxabiso okufaneleka eGrade 4.

Phambi kokuba ufake isicelo seGrade 4, lungiselela:

Udidi olufanelekileyo lomsebenzi kumsebenzi ofuna ukuwufakela ithenda, ngokuqhelekileyo GB kumsebenzi wokwakha.
