Construction and Built Environment for the public sector
About the CIDB
All contractors wishing to tender for construction projects in the public sector must be registered with the Construction Industries Development Board (CIDB). Home Building is excluded from the CIDB’s scope of work, which falls within the mandate of the National Home Builders Regulatory Council (NHBRC).
Contractors working within the public sector housing projects field therefore DO NOT need to be registered with the CIDB. Register of Contractors.
