Do I need CIDB if I already have NHBRC registration?
NHBRC and CIDB serve different purposes. NHBRC relates to housing-sector requirements, while CIDB grading is used for broader construction procurement and contractor registration requirements.
How long does CIDB registration take?
CIDB guidance says complete and compliant applications can take 21 working days, while Grade 1 applications may reflect faster. Incomplete documents can delay the process, so preparation matters.
Does CIDB issue printed certificates?
CIDB indicates that printed registration certificates are no longer issued. Contractor names, grading, and status are verified through the CIDB website or official register.
How is a joint venture grading worked out?
CIDB guidance says joint venture grading is based on the combined grading of the member contractors and should be checked using CIDB's joint venture rules or calculator.
