CIDB Grade Estimator
Self-assessment of the CIDB grade you can support, based on turnover, track record and capital.
What this tool does
Takes your best annual turnover over the past two years, your largest single completed contract and your available working capital, and points at the CIDB grade those numbers typically support. The CIDB itself is the only authoritative source.
Important: CIDB tender value ranges are revised periodically and sources differ - confirm your exact grade limit on cidb.org.za before you tender.
