Who Is This CIDB Service For?

This service is designed for construction businesses and contractors that need to apply for or increase their CIDB grading.

It may be suitable if you are:

• A construction company preparing to tender for larger projects
• A contractor moving beyond Grade 1
• An established contractor seeking a higher CIDB grade
• A business preparing for public-sector construction opportunities
• A contractor adding another class of construction works
• A business that is unsure what documentation is required for its application

If you are not sure which grade or class of works applies to your business, we can help you understand what information and supporting documents need to be prepared before you proceed.

What Does a CIDB Grade Mean?

Your CIDB grading indicates the level of construction work your business is considered capable of undertaking within a particular class of works.

The CIDB Register of Contractors has grades from 1 to 9, with Grade 9 being the highest designation. Grades 2–9 have additional financial and construction capability requirements.

For example, the CIDB currently lists the following upper tender-value limits:

Your actual grading is determined by the CIDB based on the applicable requirements, including financial capability and construction works capability.

What Do You Need for CIDB Grade 2–9 Registration?

The exact documentation depends on the grade, class of works and circumstances of the application.

Depending on the application, supporting information can include:

• Company registration documents
• Identification documents for directors or principals
• Shareholder certificates
• Tax compliance information
• Track record documentation
• Financial statements
• Bank statements or other financial verification documents
• Relevant professional registration or certificates where applicable
• Electrical contractor documentation where applying for the applicable EB class of works

The CIDB confirms that Grade 2–9 applications require supporting documentation, and additional documents may be requested during verification.

Don’t Have All Your Documents Ready?

That’s exactly where preparation matters.

Before submitting your application, Biz Evolution can help you identify what information and supporting documents are required for your application so you can avoid submitting an incomplete package.

If a document needs to be certified or additional evidence is required for your particular application, we will advise you accordingly.

Applying for a Higher CIDB Grade?

A higher CIDB grade is not simply a matter of selecting a bigger number on the application.

For Grades 2–9, the CIDB considers factors such as your construction track record and financial capability. Track record requirements can include projects completed within the previous five years, supported by documents such as awards, completion certificates and payment certificates.

For higher grades, financial information also becomes increasingly important. The CIDB considers factors including turnover and available capital when determining grading.

If your business has grown and you believe your current CIDB grade no longer reflects the projects you are pursuing, we can assist with preparing the information for a CIDB grade upgrade application.
