CIDB Registration
Register with CIDB — Qualify for Government Construction Projects
If you want to bid on government construction projects in South Africa, CIDB registration is a must. We’ll get you registered fast — no stress, no confusion.
The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) is a government body that regulates and grades contractors for public sector projects. Without a CIDB number, you can’t tender for government construction work, even small contracts.
At Smartbook, we handle your CIDB registration end-to-end, whether you're a brand-new construction business or upgrading your existing CIDB grade.
