CIDB Act
constructionConstruction Industry Development Board Act
The CIDB Act established the Construction Industry Development Board to promote a regulated and transformed construction industry. The CIDB registers contractors and assigns gradings (1-9) based on financial capability and work experience. Contractors can only tender for projects within their assigned grade. The grading system covers both civil engineering and general building works. The Act also regulates best practice, procurement reform, and skills development in the construction sector.
Contractor Grading System
Contractors are registered and graded from 1 to 9 based on financial capability and works experience (Regulation 25). Grade determines the maximum tender value a contractor can bid for.
Register of Contractors
The CIDB maintains a national register of contractors and their gradings (Section 22).
Best Practice Procurement
The CIDB develops and publishes best practice procurement guidelines for the construction industry.
