Ithebula Lamagrade e-CIDB 2026: Imikhawulo ye-Grade 1-9

Uma ufaka ithenda kahulumeni engaphezu kwegrade yakho ye-CIDB, ibhidi yakho iyalahlwa ngaphambi kokuba kufundwe intengo yakho. Amaklayenti kahulumeni ahlola ibhidi ngayinye kuqala ngegrade nangesigaba somsebenzi (class of works). Uma ungaqondi kahle umkhawulo wakho, amahora okulinganisa ayalahleka futhi ithenda iya komunye.

Lo mhlahlandlela unikeza ithebula lamagrade e-CIDB lika-2026, nomkhawulo wenani lethenda kugrade ngayinye kusuka ku-1 kuya ku-9. Uchaza ukuthi amaklayenti asebenzisa kanjani leyo mikhawulo ethendeni, ukuthi i-Grade 4 ifunani kuwe, yisiphi isigaba somsebenzi esifanele umsebenzi wakho, nokuthi ungahlela kanjani ukukhuphuka kwegrade okulandelayo.

Ayini Amagrade Osonkontileka e-CIDB?

Igrade ye-CIDB iyinombolo esukela ku-1 kuya ku-9 ebeka inkontileka enkulu kunazo zonke kahulumeni ongayifakela ithenda esigabeni somsebenzi. I-Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) inikeza igrade ngemva kokuhlola amandla akho ezimali nawomsebenzi. I-Grade 1 yizinga lokuqala. I-Grade 9 ayinamkhawulo wenani lethenda.

Igrade yakho ivela kurejista nekhodi yesigaba somsebenzi, isibonelo “5GB” (Grade 5, General Building) noma “3CE” (Grade 3, Civil Engineering). Ungaba namagrade ahlukene ezigabeni ezahlukene. Umakhi angaba ngu-6GB no-2EB ngesikhathi esisodwa.

Ukuze uqonde ukuthi uhlelo lusebenza kanjani lulonke, nokuthi amagrade axhumana kanjani nokukhula, funda amagrade e-CIDB achaziwe.

Ithebula Lamagrade e-CIDB 2026: Imikhawulo Yenani Lethenda Ngegrade

Ithebula elingezansi libala inani eliphezulu lethenda igrade ngayinye ye-CIDB engalithatha ngo-2026, kusukela ku-R500,000 ku-Grade 1 kuya ekungabi namkhawulo ku-Grade 9. Imikhawulo ivela ku-Regulation 17 ye-CIDB Regulations (Table 8), egcine ukulungiswa ngo-2019 ngenxa yokwehla kwenani lemali. Isebenza enkontilekeni ngayinye nasesigabeni somsebenzi ngasinye.

Grade	Umkhawulo wenani lethenda	Uhlobo lwephrojekthi olujwayelekile	Usonkontileka ojwayelekile

Umthombo: cidb, Register of Contractors overview, kuhlolwe ngomhla ka-8 Okthoba 2026. I-cidb ingayilungisa le mikhawulo, ngakho yiqinisekise kurejista ngaphambi kokufaka ibhidi.

Ukulanda mahhala: B-BBEE Construction Expert Guide (PDF). Ukuthi i-Construction Sector Code isebenza kanjani, amaphuzu okuthenga abalwa kanjani, nemirekhodi okufanele uyilungiselele ngaphambi kwethenda elandelayo. Landa umhlahlandlela.

Amaklayenti Ayisebenzisa Kanjani Imikhawulo ye-CIDB Ethendeni?

Amaklayenti aqhathanisa inani elilinganisiwe lenkontileka negrade ayicelayo, bese elahla noma yimuphi umfaki-bhidi ongaphansi kwaleyo grade esigabeni somsebenzi esifanele. Lokhu kuhlolwa kwenzeka esigabeni sokufaneleka, ngaphambi kwentengo nokusebenza. Intengo enhle ayikwazi ukusindisa ibhidi ehlulekayo lapha.

Amaphuzu amahlanu anquma ukuthi ibhidi yakho iyaphumelela yini:

Inani elisetshenziswa yithenda. Idatha yethenda isho igrade ephansi edingekayo, ngokusekelwe esilinganisweni seklayenti senani lenkontileka. Funda ukuthi ithenda ilichaza kanjani lelo nani. Ungaphikisi ngokuthi intengo yakho iphansi.
Isigaba somsebenzi. Igrade ye-6GB ayikuvumeli ukufaka ibhidi enkontilekeni ecela i-6CE.
Inkontileka ngayinye iyodwa. Umkhawulo usebenza enkontilekeni ngayinye. Ungaqhuba izinkontileka eziningana ngesikhathi esisodwa, uma nje ngayinye ingaphakathi kwegrade yakho.
Ama-lot. Uma ithenda inama-lot amaningana, igrade ephansi ingasebenza ku-lot ngayinye. Funda imithetho yokufaneleka ye-lot ngayinye.
Ukusebenza ngesikhathi sokuvalwa. Igrade yakho kufanele isebenze kurejista uma ithenda ivalwa. Igrade emisiwe ngenxa yokungenzi izibuyekezo zonyaka iyehluleka ukuhlolwa.

Amathenda amaningi aphinde amukele usonkontileka ongaphansi ngegrade eyodwa uma enesimo se-”potentially emerging” (PE) kurejista. Isaziso sethenda sikusho lokho uma kusebenza, isibonelo “6GB or 5GB PE”.

Ukunikeza abanye umsebenzi (subcontracting) akuguquli ukufaneleka kwakho. Kubalwa igrade yenhlangano efaka ibhidi, hhayi igrade yamafemu uhlela ukuwasebenzisa. Ama-joint venture ahlukile: i-CIDB Regulations ivumela i-joint venture ukuthi ifaneleke ngamandla ahlanganisiwe amalungu ayo, lapho ithenda ivumela khona. Thola iseluleko ngaphambi kokuthembela kuleyo ndlela.

Yenza ukuhlola okufanayo ngaphambi kwebhidi njalo ngohlu lwethu lokuhambisana nethenda yokwakha.

Igrade Ngayinye Ifunani?

Ukuze uthole igrade engaphezu kwe-Grade 1, kufanele ukhombise i-cidb amandla ezimali namandla omsebenzi ahambisana negrade oyicelayo. Amandla ezimali abheka imali engenayo (turnover) nemali etholakalayo. Amandla omsebenzi abheka inkontileka enkulu kunazo zonke oyiqedile eminyakeni yamuva. Igrade ngayinye inamanani ayo okufaneleka.

Iqembu lamagrade	Lokho i-cidb ekuhlolayo	Lokho amaklayenti nemakethe ekulindele
1	Akukho turnover ephansi noma umlando womsebenzi	Imibhalo yenkampani, ukuhambisana nentela, ukubhaliswa ku-CSD
2 kuya ku-4	I-turnover, imali etholakalayo, inkontileka enkulu eqediwe	Izitatimende zezimali ezihlanzekile, izitifiketi zokuqeda, ubufakazi be-B-BBEE
5 kuya ku-6	Amanani okufaneleka aphezulu ezindinganisweni ezifanayo	Ithimba lochwepheshe (QS, ama-site manager), izinhlelo zokuphepha nezekhwalithi
7 kuya ku-9	Amanani okufaneleka aphezulu kakhulu	I-balance sheet eqinile, amandla e-bonding, ithimba eliphelele lochwepheshe

Amaphuzu amabili asebenzayo alandela kulokhu. Okokuqala, gcina ubufakazi bayo yonke inkontileka eqediwe: inkontileka esayiniwe, isitifiketi sokugcina senkokhelo nesitifiketi sokuqeda. Okwesibili, gcina izitatimende zakho zezimali zonyaka zisesikhathini. Izitatimende ezindala noma ezingasayiniwe ziyisizathu esivamile segrade ephansi kunaleyo obuyilindele.

I-CIDB Grade 4 Ivumelani Futhi Ifunani?

I-CIDB Grade 4 ikuvumela ukufaka ithenda yezinkontileka zikahulumeni kuze kufike ku-R6,000,000 esigabeni sakho somsebenzi. Iyisinyathelo esivamile kubakhi abasuka ezindlini ezizodwa beya ezindlini zamayunithi amaningi nasemsebenzini omncane wezohwebo. Ufaka isicelo ehhovisi le-cidb lesifundazwe futhi kufanele ukhombise i-turnover, imali nenkontileka eqediwe ehlangabezana namanani okufaneleka e-Grade 4.

Ngaphambi kokufaka isicelo se-Grade 4, lungiselela:

Isigaba somsebenzi esifanele sohlobo lomsebenzi ofuna ukuwufakela ibhidi, ngokuvamile i-GB yomsebenzi wokwakha.
Imininingwane yenkampani efanayo ku-CIPC, kurejista ye-cidb, ku-Central Supplier Database (CSD), encwadini yasebhange nasemibhalweni yakho yethenda.
Iphakethe lezimali elivela kumcwaningi-mabhuku wakho elihlanganisa isikhathi i-cidb ezosihlola.
Ubufakazi bomlando womsebenzi, buhlelwe ngephrojekthi: inkontileka, i-akhawunti yokugcina, isitifiketi sokuqeda nereferensi yeklayenti.

Ukubambezeleka okuningi kwe-Grade 4 kuvela ezinkingeni ezilula zokuphatha: igama lenkampani elihlukile phakathi kwemibhalo, isignesha engekho, unyaka wezimali ophelelwe yisikhathi noma iskeni esingacacile. Lungisa lokhu ngaphambi kokuthumela.

Uma usune-Grade 4, hlela umsebenzi wakho ukuze wakhe icala lakho le-Grade 5. Izinkontileka eziseduze ne-R6,000,000, ezilethwe kahle futhi zavalwa ngemirekhodi ehlanzekile, zinesisindo esikhulu kunemisebenzi eminingi emincane.

Uphatha ukuhambisana ne-CIDB kuwo wonke amaphrojekthi asebenzayo? I-Wakha ilandelela izidingo zegrade zephrojekthi ngayinye, amanani ethenda nobufakazi bokuhambisana endaweni eyodwa: bona idemo yomkhiqizo.

Yisiphi Isigaba Somsebenzi Esisebenza Kuwe?

Isigaba somsebenzi (class of works) wuhlobo lokwakha igrade yakho elihlanganisayo, futhi ithenda icela kokubili igrade nesigaba. Kubathuthukisi bezindlu nabakhi bezindlu, isigaba esiyinhloko yi-GB (General Building). Imisebenzi kaziyele (civil) efana nemigwaqo, izinsizakalo ezinkulu namanzi esiphepho ingaphansi kwe-CE (Civil Engineering).

Ikhodi	Isigaba somsebenzi	Uhlobo lomsebenzi olujwayelekile
GB	General Building	Izindlu, izindawo zezindlu, izakhiwo zezohwebo nezomphakathi
CE	Civil Engineering	Imigwaqo, amanzi namapayipi endle amakhulu, amanzi esiphepho, imisebenzi yomhlabathi
ME	Mechanical Engineering	I-HVAC, imishini
EB	Electrical Engineering (building)	Ukufakwa kukagesi ezakhiweni
EP	Electrical Engineering (infrastructure)	Izintambo zikagesi, iziteshi ezincane, izibani zasemgwaqweni
SA kuya ku-SQ	Imisebenzi ekhethekile	Ikhodi eyodwa ngomsebenzi ngamunye okhethekile, ebhalwe kurejista ye-cidb

Imikhawulo esethebuleni lamagrade iyafana kuzo zonke izigaba. Okushintshayo wubufakazi: igrade yakho ye-CE incike ezinkontilekeni zakho ze-civil, igrade yakho ye-GB ezinkontilekeni zakho zokwakha.

Uma ibhizinisi lakho ikakhulukazi lingumsebenzi we-civil, amagrade e-CE, izinkontileka ze-GCC nokulinganisa kabusha (remeasurement) kungumhlaba ohlukile. Umkhiqizo wethu ongudadewabo i-Sakha uyakuhlanganisa: bona amagrade e-CIDB CE osonkontileka be-civil, inqubo yesitifiketi senkokhelo se-GCC nomhlahlandlela wesoftware ye-civil engineering eNingizimu Afrika.

Ukhuphuka Kanjani Ngegrade ye-CIDB?

Ukhuphuka ngegrade ngokufaka isicelo ku-cidb nobufakazi bokuthi manje uhlangabezana namanani amandla ezimali nawomsebenzi egrade elandelayo. Ukukhuphuka akwenzeki ngokuzenzakalela. Inkontileka enkulu eqediwe nezitatimende zezimali eziqinile yizo ezikukhuphulayo, hhayi isikhathi osichithe kurejista.

Ngamafuphi:

Hlola amanani okufaneleka egrade oyifunayo.
Qoqa izitatimende zezimali nobufakazi bezinkontileka zakho ezinkulu eziqediwe.
Faka isicelo ehhovisi le-cidb lesifundazwe bese ukhokha imali yokuphatha yegrade entsha.
Gcina isibuyekezo sakho sonyaka sisesikhathini, ngaphandle kwalokho igrade yakho ingamiswa.

Indlela ephelele, nobufakazi okufanele ubuqoqe namaphutha amisa izicelo, ikho kumagrade e-CIDB achaziwe. Ngokubhalisa okokuqala, ukuvuselela nezimali, landela inqubo yokubhalisa ku-CIDB.

Ukwakha Isu Lokufaka Ibhidi Ngokuya Ngemikhawulo Yakho

Isu elihle lokufaka ibhidi liqondise kuphela amathenda ahlanganiswa yigrade nesigaba sakho, futhi likhethe umsebenzi owakha icala legrade yakho elandelayo. Amabhidi angaphandle kwemikhawulo yakho achitha isikhathi somlinganisi. Amabhidi angaphakathi kwayo, alethwe kahle, aba umlando womsebenzi isicelo sakho esilandelayo esiwudingayo.

Faka ibhidi ngaphakathi kwegrade kuqala. Iphrojekthi ngayinye engaphakathi kwegrade oyiqeda ngemirekhodi ehlanzekile iqinisa ukukhuphuka kwakho okulandelayo.
Khetha umsebenzi owakha icala lakho lokukhuphuka. Khetha izinkontileka eziseduze nesiqongo somkhawulo wakho kunemisebenzi eminingi emincane.
Phatha ama-returnable njengohlelo. Gcina iphakethe elilodwa lokuhambisana elisesikhathini: isitifiketi segrade, isimo sentela, umbiko we-CSD, isitifiketi se-B-BBEE nezitatimende zezimali.
Hlola nama-sub-contractor. Uma uqoka ama-sub-contractor emsebenzini kahulumeni, qinisekisa igrade nesigaba sawo. Umhlahlandlela wethu wokuhlola ama-sub-contractor ngegrade ye-CIDB ukhombisa ukuthi kanjani.
Cabanga nge-joint venture kuphela uma ithenda iyivumela futhi uyaqonda ukuthi amandla ahlanganisiwe ahlolwa kanjani.

Isiphetho

Igrade yakho ye-CIDB ibeka uphahla kuyo yonke ithenda kahulumeni ongayiwina, ngakho phatha ithebula lamagrade njengethuluzi lokuhlela. Yazi umkhawulo wakho ngesigaba somsebenzi, hlola igrade ephansi yethenda ngayinye nemithetho yama-lot ngaphambi kokubeka intengo, futhi ugcine igrade yakho isebenza ngezibuyekezo zonyaka.

Bese usebenzisa inkontileka ngayinye ukwakha ubufakazi begrade elandelayo. Abakhi abagcina izitifiketi zokuqeda, ama-akhawunti okugcina nezitatimende zezimali zihlelekile bakhuphuka ngokushesha, ngoba isicelo sabo silungile uma umsebenzi uphela.

Imibuzo Evame Ukubuzwa

Iyini igrade ye-CIDB?

Igrade ye-CIDB yizinga, kusukela ku-1 kuya ku-9, i-Construction Industry Development Board ebhalisa ngalo usonkontileka esigabeni somsebenzi.
