Ukuchazwa kwe-CIDB Grading: Iigrade 1 ukuya ku-9

Faka ithenda kwikhontrakthi yecandelo likarhulumente engaphezulu kwegrade yakho ye-CIDB, kwaye ithenda yakho ibekwa ecaleni phambi kokuba nabani na afunde ixabiso lakho. Igrade yakho igqiba ukuba zeziphi iikhontrakthi onokuzifakela ithenda, kwaye ubungqina bakho bugqiba ukuba unokunyuka ngokukhawuleza kangakanani. Oonokontraka abaninzi, kwanabo banamava, abaqinisekanga ukuba igrade yabo ivumela ntoni okanye i-cidb ijonga ntoni ngokwenene xa befaka isicelo sokunyuka.

Esi sikhokelo sichaza ukuba yintoni i-CIDB grading, indlela iindidi zomsebenzi neegrade ezidibana ngayo, into evunyelwa yigrade nganye, indlela i-cidb ebeka ngayo igrade yakho, indlela yokucwangcisa ukunyuka nendlela abavavanyi bethenda abahlola ngayo igrade yakho.

Yintoni i-CIDB Grading?

I-CIDB grading yinkqubo esetyenziswa yi-Construction Industry Development Board ukuhlela oonokontraka ukusuka kwiGrade 1 ukuya kwiGrade 9 ngokwexabiso lekhontrakthi enkulu abanokuyithatha. Igrade nganye inxulunyaniswa nodidi lomsebenzi (class of works), olufana nokwakha ngokubanzi okanye ubunjineli bomphakathi. Abathengi becandelo likarhulumente basebenzisa igrade ukugqiba ukuba ngubani onokufaka ithenda kwikhontrakthi.

I-cidb liqumrhu elisemthethweni elasekwa phantsi kwe-Construction Industry Development Board Act 38 of 2000. Igcina i-Register of Contractors yesizwe. Xa ubhalisa, ufaka isicelo segrade kudidi ngalunye lomsebenzi olufunayo. Isiphumo yi-grading designation yakho, ebhalwa njengenani legrade lilandelwa yikhowudi yodidi. Umzekelo:

3GB ithetha iGrade 3 kukwakha ngokubanzi.
5CE ithetha iGrade 5 kubunjineli bomphakathi.

Ubhaliso nokunikwa igrade kwenzeka kunye. Ufaka isicelo segrade ethile xa ubhalisa, kwaye uphinda ufake isicelo xa ufuna ukunyuka. Ngesicelo inyathelo ngenyathelo, bona isikhokelo sethu senkqubo yobhaliso lwe-CIDB.

I-grading inceda abathengi noonokontraka. Abathengi bafumana isihluzi esikhawulezayo somngcipheko: unokontraka onegrade efanelekileyo ubonise amandla ezemali nawomsebenzi kwikhontrakthi enobo bungakanani. Oonokontraka bafumana indlela ecacileyo yokukhula, igrade enye ngexesha.

Ziintoni Iindidi Zomsebenzi ze-CIDB?

Udidi lomsebenzi luchaza uhlobo lolwakhiwo onikwe igrade kulo, kwaye udidi ngalunye lunegrade yalo. Unokuba neGrade 6 kukwakha ngokubanzi neGrade 2 kwimisebenzi yombane ngaxeshanye. Udidi olukubhaliso lwakho kufuneka luhambelane nodidi olucelwa yithenda, kungenjalo awufaneleki.

Ikhowudi	Udidi lomsebenzi	Umsebenzi oqhelekileyo
GB	General building	Izindlu, iiprojekthi zezindlu, izikolo, iikliniki, izakhiwo zorhwebo
CE	Civil engineering	Iindlela, amanzi esiphango, uthungelwano lwamanzi nelindle, iibhulorho
EB	Electrical works (building)	Ufakelo lombane ezakhiweni

ME	Mechanical engineering	HVAC, iilifti, iimpompo, izixhobo zoomatshini
SB ukuya ku-SQ	Iindidi zeengcali	Urhwebo oluthile olufana ne-piling, ukudiliza, i-asphalt okanye ucingo

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

Abakhi bezindlu nabaphuhlisi ikakhulu basebenza kwi-GB. Iziseko zophuhliso ze-estate, ezifana neendlela zangaphakathi neenkonzo, ngokuqhelekileyo zifakelwa ithenda phantsi kwe-CE. Ukuba imisebenzi yobunjineli bomphakathi lelona shishini lakho liphambili, imveliso yethu engudade iligubungela elo cala kwisikhokelo sayo se-software yobunjineli bomphakathi.

Bhalisa kudidi olutsha kuphela xa sele ugqibe umsebenzi onokuwungqina kolo didi. Udidi olungenabungqina luya kuhlala kwiGrade 1.

Igrade Nganye ye-CIDB Ivumela Ntoni?

Igrade nganye ibeka umda ophezulu wexabiso lethenda onokuyifakela, ukusuka kwi-R500,000 kwiGrade 1 ukuya kungabikho mda kwiGrade 9. Le mida ivela kwi-Regulation 17 ye-CIDB Regulations (Table 8), njengoko yalungiswa ngo-2019. Le tafile ingezantsi iyishwankathela kunye nohlobo lomsebenzi olugutyungelwa yigrade nganye ngokuqhelekileyo.

Grade	Umda wexabiso lethenda	Umsebenzi oqhelekileyo kwi-GB
1	R500,000	Ukulungisa, ukuhlaziya okuncinci, ugcino
2	R1,000,000	Izindlu ezizodwa, ukuhlaziya okukhulu

Ikholamu ethi “umsebenzi oqhelekileyo” ngumzekelo nje. Umda wexabiso yinto ebalulekileyo. Ngesalathiso esineenkcukacha esinemirhumo namanqaku okunyuka kwigrade nganye, bona itafile yethu ye-CIDB grading enemida yethenda.

Ngokwenyani, iigrade zahlulwa zibe zizigaba ezine:

IiGrade 1 no-2: ukungena. Iikhontrakthi ezincinci, iimfuno zobungqina ezilula. IGrade 1 ibhaliswa kwi-intanethi ngaphandle kwerekhodi yomsebenzi. Kulapho uninzi lwabakhi abatsha baqala khona kwaye bafunde ukubhala yonke imisebenzi.
IiGrade 3 no-4: unokontraka omncinci osele ezinzile. Inyathelo lokuya kwiGrade 3 kulapho uninzi loonokontraka lume khona, kuba i-cidb ngoku ilindele iingxelo zezemali ezifanelekileyo nekhontrakthi egqityiweyo yobungakanani bokwenyani kolo didi.
IiGrade 5 no-6: imarike ephakathi. Iikhontrakthi ze-R10,000,000 ukuya kwi-R20,000,000 zifuna ulawulo lwesiza, ulawulo lweendleko nebhalansi eyomeleleyo. Abathengi kweli nqanaba bahlala besongeza iimfuno zabo, ezifana neenkqubo zomgangatho okanye zokhuseleko.
IiGrade 7 ukuya ku-9: oonokontraka abakhulu. Ezi grade zifuna imali-mali eninzi nerekhodi yeekhontrakthi ezinkulu ezigqityiweyo. Ezona nkqubo zinkulu zikarhulumente zikweli nqanaba.

I-CIDB Iyigqiba Njani Igrade Yakho?

I-cidb ikunika igrade ngezinto ezimbini: amandla ezemali namandla omsebenzi kudidi lomsebenzi ofaka isicelo kulo. Amandla ezemali ajonga ingeniso yakho nemali-mali ekhoyo. Amandla omsebenzi ajonga eyona khontrakthi inkulu oyigqibileyo kolo didi. Zombini kufuneka zixhase igrade oyicelayo.

Amandla ezemali. Iingxelo zakho zezemali zonyaka zibonisa ingeniso nemali-mali ekhoyo. Okukhona igrade iphezulu, kokukhona iingxelo zakho kufuneka zibe sesikweni. Ishishini elirhweba ngelahleko okanye elinemali-mali encinci liya kusokola ukunyuka, nokuba linee-projekthi ezintle emva kwalo.

Amandla omsebenzi. I-cidb ifuna ubungqina bokuba ugqibe ikhontrakthi yobungakanani obuthile kudidi olufanayo. Ubungqina obomeleleyo buquka:

Ikhontrakthi esayiniweyo okanye ileta yokuqeshwa
Isatifikethi sokugqitywa okanye isatifikethi sentlawulo yokugqibela (JBCC, NEC okanye GCC)
Ileta yesalathiso evela kumthengi okanye kwi-principal agent
I-akhawunti yokugqibela ebonisa ixabiso lekhontrakthi

Ezinye izinto zibalulekile kwishishini lakho kodwa azizonqobo ze-CIDB grading. Imeko ye-B-BBEE, umzekelo, ichaphazela amanqaku akho okhetho kwinqanaba lethenda. Funda isikhokelo sethu se-B-BBEE construction sector code ukuze ubone ukuba kusebenza njani oko. Isatifikethi se-ISO okanye abasebenzi abathile banokufunwa ngumthengi ethendeni, kodwa abayibeki igrade yakho ye-CIDB.

Uyinyusa Njani Igrade Yakho ye-CIDB?

Unyusa igrade ngokufaka isicelo kwi-ofisi yephondo ye-cidb unobungqina obutsha bezemali nobomsebenzi obuxhasa igrade ephezulu. Ukunyuka akuzenzekeli. Isicelo yinxalenye elula. Umsebenzi wokwenyani kukwakha imijelo emithathu yobungqina unyaka wonke, ukuze ipakethi yakho ilunge xa amanani akho efaneleka.

Yakha imijelo emithathu yobungqina

Umjelo wobungqina	Ungqina ntoni	Omele ukugcine, iprojekthi ngeprojekthi
