Understanding CIDB in Malaysia

How to Understand CIDB in Malaysia: A Complete Guide from G1 to G7

When landowners, homeowners, developers, or business owners look for a contractor in Malaysia, one of the first questions they usually ask is:

“Does this contractor have CIDB registration?”

The contractor may answer:

“Yes, I’m G7.”

Many people immediately assume:

“G7 must be a big contractor, so they can handle any type of construction project.”

Actually, that is not correct.

In Malaysia, determining whether a contractor is genuinely qualified for your project cannot be based simply on whether they have CIDB registration. You should not judge a contractor solely by whether they are G1, G5, or G7.

The proper assessment should consider:

Grade + Category + Specialisation + Validity

And beyond that, you also need to consider:

Project type, contract value, professional consultants, local authority approvals, land use and other statutory requirements.

So, let’s break down what CIDB really means, how G1 to G7 work, what B, CE and ME mean, why even a G7 contractor cannot automatically undertake every type of project, and what landowners should check before appointing a contractor.

───

1. What Exactly Is CIDB?

CIDB stands for:

Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia

CIDB is the Malaysian government agency responsible for regulating and developing the construction industry, including contractor registration and various construction-related requirements.

In simple terms:

If a company wants to undertake construction work that falls under CIDB's regulatory framework in Malaysia, simply having an SSM-registered company is not enough.

Having SSM registration does not automatically mean the company is qualified to undertake construction work.

SSM essentially answers:

“Is this company legally registered as a business?”

CIDB addresses:

“Does this company meet the requirements to operate as a registered construction contractor?”

Therefore:

SSM ≠ CIDB

This is the first concept you need to understand.

───

2. The Most Basic CIDB Concept: G1 to G7

The most commonly discussed CIDB grades are:

G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6 and G7.

Many people simply understand them as:

G1 is small, G7 is large.

That is generally correct, but the more accurate explanation is:

The Grade mainly determines the maximum value of construction work that a contractor is registered to undertake.

The general limits are:

CIDB Grade

Maximum Contract Value

G1

RM200,000

G2

RM500,000

G3

RM1,000,000

G4

RM3,000,000

G5

RM5,000,000

G6

RM10,000,000

G7

No limit

A simple way to remember it:

G1 → RM200k

G2 → RM500k

G3 → RM1m

G4 → RM3m

G5 → RM5m

G6 → RM10m

G7 → No limit

However, there is one very important point:

This is only the first level of assessment.

Meeting the contract-value requirement does not automatically mean the contractor is suitable for your project.

───

3. Example: Who Can Undertake an RM800,000 Project?

Suppose you have a construction or renovation project with a:

Contract Sum = RM800,000

Then, generally:

G1 ❌

G2 ❌

G3 ✅

G4 ✅

G5 ✅

G6 ✅

G7 ✅

Why?

Because G3 generally covers projects up to RM1 million.

Therefore:

RM800,000 project → G3 or above

This means the contractor's Grade is one of the first things you should check.

───

4. What If the Project Is RM4 Million?

Now consider another example.

You are planning to construct a small industrial factory:

Contract Sum = RM4 million

Then:

G1 ❌

G2 ❌

G3 ❌

G4 ❌

G5 ✅

G6 ✅

G7 ✅

Why?

Because G4 generally has a maximum limit of RM3 million.

Therefore, a G4 contractor cannot simply rely on the statement:

“Boss, I have done many factory projects before.”

Past experience does not automatically mean that the contractor currently has the appropriate CIDB Grade to undertake a particular project.

This is why:

“Having experience” does not automatically mean “being qualified to undertake the project.”

───

5. What If You Are Building a RM12 Million Factory?

Imagine you own a 3-acre industrial site.

You intend to develop:

Factory + Warehouse

The total construction contract is:

RM12 million

Then:

G5 ❌

G6 ❌

G7 ✅

Because G6 generally covers projects up to RM10 million.

Therefore, at the Grade level, you would need to consider:

G7

But remember:

G7 is only the first checkpoint.

───

6. Does G7 Mean the Contractor Can Do Everything?

No.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions.

Many people see:

CIDB G7

and assume:

“This contractor can undertake any construction project.”

That is incorrect.

CIDB registration is not based only on:

Grade

You must also consider:

Category

and:

Specialisation

Therefore, the proper assessment is:

G7 + Appropriate Category + Appropriate Specialisation

not:

G7 = Universal Contractor Licence

───

7. What Is CIDB Category?

Common CIDB categories include:

B = Building

Building-related works, such as:

• Residential buildings

• Commercial buildings

• Factories

• Warehouses

• Office buildings

• Building extensions and related works

───

CE = Civil Engineering

Civil engineering works, such as:

• Roads

• Drainage

• Earthworks

• Bridges

• Infrastructure

• Drainage systems

• Earthwork-related projects

───

ME = Mechanical & Electrical

Mechanical and electrical works, such as:

• Electrical installation

• Mechanical installation

• M&E systems

• Industrial mechanical-related installation works

───

F = Facility

Facility-related works and services.

Therefore, when you engage a contractor, do not simply ask:

“What CIDB Grade are you?”

You should also ask:

“What is your CIDB Category?”

───

8. The Third Level: Specialisation

This is where many landowners overlook an important detail.

For example, a contractor may be registered as:

G5 + B

This does not necessarily mean:

“They can undertake every type of Building work.”

You should continue checking their:

Specialisation Code

This tells you the specific areas of work for which the contractor is registered.

Therefore, the proper checking process is:

Grade

↓

Category

↓

Specialisation

↓

Validity

All four should be considered together.

───

9. Why Can a G7 Contractor Still Be Unsuitable?

Let's take a simple example.

You want to develop a large industrial project.

Contractor A says:

“I’m G7.”

Do not immediately sign the contract.

Ask:

“What is your Category?”

Then ask:

“What is your Specialisation?”

If your project involves Building works but the contractor's registered category or specialisation does not match the requirements of your project, then:

G7 alone does not solve the problem.

It is similar to having the highest level of driving licence:

It does not automatically mean you are qualified to drive every specialised type of vehicle.

Therefore:

G7 is not a universal licence.

───

10. What Should You Ask the Contractor to Provide?

If you are a landowner, developer or business owner, do not rely solely on verbal statements.

Ask the contractor:

“Please provide your CIDB PPK Certificate.”

PPK stands for:

Perakuan Pendaftaran Kontraktor

or:

Contractor Registration Certificate.

Then check:

① Company Name

Is it the same company that you are actually contracting with?

② CIDB Registration Number

Is it genuine?

③ Grade

Is it G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6 or G7?

④ Category

B, CE, ME or another category?

⑤ Specialisation

Does it cover the work you intend to carry out?

⑥ Validity

Is the certificate currently valid?

Do not accept:

“I used to have it.”

What you need is:

A currently valid registration.

───

11. Why Must You Check the Company Name?

This is a very practical issue.

Suppose you are hiring:

ABC Construction Sdn Bhd

But the contractor gives you a CIDB certificate under:

XYZ Enterprise

Then he says:

“It's okay, both companies belong to me.”

You should be careful.

The legal entity signing your construction contract should be clearly identified and should correspond with the entity actually undertaking the work.

Do not simply rely on:

“The owner is the same person.”

Company identity is important when dealing with:

• Construction contracts

• Liability

• Insurance

• Payment

• Claims

• Disputes

• Legal responsibility

───

12. Do Not Confuse PPK, SPKK and STB

You may come across several CIDB-related certificates, including:

PPK

SPKK

STB

These are not the same thing.

PPK

Perakuan Pendaftaran Kontraktor

This is the contractor registration certificate and is one of the most important documents for verifying a contractor's CIDB registration.

───

SPKK

Sijil Perolehan Kerja Kerajaan

This relates to eligibility for government construction procurement.

Therefore:

PPK ≠ automatically SPKK

───

STB

Sijil Taraf Bumiputera

This relates to Bumiputera status and relevant procurement eligibility.

Therefore, do not assume:

PPK + SPKK + STB

means:

three different CIDB Grades.

They serve different purposes.

───

13. CIDB Is Not the Same as an Architect

This is particularly important for landowners.

Suppose you own an old factory.

You want to:

• Add an office

• Add another floor

• Construct a mezzanine

• Modify the building structure

• Add toilets

• Extend the warehouse

• Change the building layout

• Change the use of the building

You find a:

CIDB G7 Contractor

Can you immediately start construction?

No.

The contractor's CIDB registration is only one part of the project.

Depending on the project, you may also need:

• Architect

• Civil & Structural Engineer

• M&E Consultant

• Local Authority / PBT

• Building Plan approval

• Planning approval

• Structural approval

• Fire safety requirements

• Land-use compliance

• Other relevant government approvals

Therefore:

CIDB registration is not Building Approval.

───

14. CIDB Does Not Mean the Land Can Be Developed

This is an even more important concept.

For example:

You own:

Agricultural Land

You find a:

G7 Contractor

The contractor says:

“Boss, don't worry. I can build the factory for you.”

Do not assume that because the contractor is G7:

“Therefore, my agricultural land can be used to build a factory.”

These are two completely different issues.

Land issue:

What can legally be done on this land?

CIDB issue:

Is this contractor qualified to undertake the construction work?

PBT issue:

Will the local authority approve the proposed development?

Therefore:

Land Use ≠ CIDB ≠ Building Approval

Do not mix these three concepts together.

───

15. The Common “Cheap Contractor” Trap

Suppose you want to undertake:

RM2 million Factory Renovation & Extension

You receive three quotations.

Contractor A

G2

Quotation:

RM1.7 million

He says:

“Boss, no problem. I can do it.”

But there may be a mismatch between the contractor's Grade and the project value.

───

Contractor B

G4

Quotation:

RM2.0 million

At the Grade level, the contractor falls within the RM3 million range.

You then continue checking:

• Category

• Specialisation

• Experience

• Technical team

───

Contractor C

G6

Quotation:

RM2.2 million

The price is higher.

But the contractor has:

• Appropriate CIDB registration

• Professional consultants

• Architect support

• Engineering support

• Safety systems

• Project management

• Proper subcontractors

• Insurance

At this point, you should not simply say:

“Contractor A is the cheapest, so Contractor A is the best.”

Construction is not like buying a table.

You must consider:

Contractor qualifications, project risk, design, approvals, construction quality and legal responsibility.

───

16. Why I Strongly Recommend Avoiding “Cheap Foreign-Labour Contractors”

The real question is not:

“Can they build it?”

The real question is:

“Are they legally qualified to do it, and who will be responsible if something goes wrong?”

Some low-cost construction teams may say:

“No need for an architect.”

“No need for an engineer.”

“No need for approval.”

“We can handle everything ourselves.”

“Don't worry, I've been doing this for 20 years.”

For a landowner, these statements should actually be warning signs.

A proper project may require:

Design → Approval → Professional Consultants → CIDB-qualified Contractor → Construction → Safety → Inspection → Completion

Not:

Pay today → Start construction tomorrow.

───

17. This Is Especially Important for Factory and Industrial Projects

If you are an industrial landowner, your contractor screening should be even more stringent.

For example:

10,000–50,000 sq ft Factory

or even:

50,000–200,000 sq ft Warehouse

Do not simply look for:

“The cheapest builder.”

You should conduct proper:

Contractor Due Diligence

At minimum, check:

CIDB

• Grade

• Category

• Specialisation

• Validity

Company

• SSM registration

• Company name

• Directors

• Financial capability

Professional Team

• Architect

• Civil & Structural Engineer

• M&E Engineer

• Quantity Surveyor, where applicable

Project

• Planning approval

• Building plan

• Land use

• PBT requirements

• Fire safety requirements

• Utility requirements

Contract

• Contract Sum

• Payment Terms

• Retention Sum

• Liquidated Damages

• Variation Orders

• Defects Liability Period

• Insurance

• Performance Bond, where required

───

18. The Simplest CIDB Checking Formula

The next time someone tells you:

“Boss, I'm G7.”

Do not immediately say:

“Okay.”

Instead, ask:

“G7 under which Category?”

Then:

“What Specialisation?”

Then:

“When does your PPK registration expire?”

Finally:

“What is the Contract Sum of this project?”

Only then can you properly assess whether the contractor is suitable.

───

19. Remember This Four-Level CIDB Framework

Whenever you see CIDB, think of it this way:

LEVEL 1 — GRADE

Determines:

How large a contract value the contractor is generally registered to undertake.

↓

LEVEL 2 — CATEGORY

Determines:

What broad type of construction work the contractor is registered for.

↓

LEVEL 3 — SPECIALISATION

Determines:

The specific areas of work within that category.

↓

LEVEL 4 — VALIDITY

Determines:

Whether the registration is currently valid.

Therefore:

G7 ≠ “can do everything.”

The real question is:

“Does this contractor have the appropriate Grade, and does their Category and Specialisation match my project, with a registration that is currently valid?”

───

20. The Most Important Message for Landowners

If you own land and plan to:

Build a house, extend a building, construct a factory, build a warehouse or undertake an industrial development,

do not simply ask:

“Which contractor is the cheapest?”

Instead, ask:

“Which contractor is legally qualified, properly registered, experienced and capable of taking responsibility for this project?”

A truly professional construction project is not simply about:

“Who can build it?”

It is about:

“Who is qualified, who designs it, who obtains approvals, who builds it, who is responsible, and who bears the risk if something goes wrong?”

Therefore, when selecting a contractor, remember:

Do not look at CIDB as just one certificate.

Check the Grade.

Check the Category.

Check the Specialisation.

Check the Validity.

And also check the Architect, Engineer, PBT approvals and land-use requirements.

For industrial property, factories, warehouses and large development projects in particular, do not take unnecessary risks just to save a little on contractor fees.

A cheap contractor may not necessarily mean a cheap project.

A properly registered, qualified contractor with the right professional team is often the first line of defence in protecting a landowner from construction, approval and legal risks.

Actual project requirements may vary depending on the project scope, location, local authority, land conditions and prevailing CIDB requirements. Appropriate qualified professionals and relevant authorities should be consulted before commencing any construction work.

【马来西亚 CIDB 到底如何分辨？】

从 G1 到 G7，一次搞懂 Contractor 到底有没有资格接你的工程

很多地主、屋主、发展商甚至企业老板找 Contractor 时，第一句话通常都是：

“老板，你有 CIDB 吗？”

对方回答：

“有，我是 G7。”

很多人听到这里，就觉得：

“G7应该很大间，可以做任何工程。”

其实，这个观念是错误的。

在马来西亚，判断一个 Contractor 是否真正适合你的工程，绝对不能只看有没有 CIDB，更不能只看 G1、G5 或 G7。

真正需要看的，是：

Grade + Category + Specialisation + Validity

再进一步，还必须考虑：

项目性质、工程金额、专业人士、地方政府批准、土地用途及其他法定要求。

所以今天我们就一次过讲清楚：

CIDB到底是什么？G1到G7有什么分别？B、CE、ME又是什么？为什么G7也不代表什么工程都能做？地主找Contractor时，到底应该检查什么？

───

一、CIDB到底是什么？

CIDB是：

Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia

中文一般称为：

马来西亚建筑工业发展局。

CIDB主要负责马来西亚建筑业相关的注册、监管、行业发展以及建筑人员和承包商相关制度。

简单来说：

如果一家公司要在马来西亚合法承接受CIDB监管的建筑工程，就不能只是有SSM公司注册。

有SSM，不等于有资格承接建筑工程。

SSM解决的是：

“这家公司有没有注册？”

CIDB解决的是：

“这家公司有没有符合建筑承包商注册要求？”

所以：

SSM ≠ CIDB

这是第一个必须搞清楚的概念。

───

二、CIDB最基本的概念：G1到G7

CIDB最常见的就是：

G1、G2、G3、G4、G5、G6、G7。

很多人把它简单理解成：

G1小，G7大。

这个方向基本正确。

但更加准确的理解是：

Grade主要反映承包商可以承接的工程价值范围。

一般工程价值等级如下：

Grade

一般最高工程价值

G1

RM200,000

G2

RM500,000

G3

RM1,000,000

G4

RM3,000,000

G5

RM5,000,000

G6

RM10,000,000

G7

无上限

所以你可以简单记住：

G1 → RM200k

G2 → RM500k

G3 → RM1m

G4 → RM3m

G5 → RM5m

G6 → RM10m

G7 → 无上限

但是这里有一个非常重要的前提：

这只是第一层判断。

因为工程金额符合，不代表这个Contractor就一定符合你的项目。

───

三、举例：RM800,000的工程，谁可以做？

假设你要装修或者建设一个项目：

Contract Sum = RM800,000

那么：

G1 ❌

G2 ❌

G3 ✅

G4 ✅

G5 ✅

G6 ✅

G7 ✅

为什么？

因为G3最高一般可以承接RM1 million范围内的工程。

所以：

RM800,000工程 → G3以上才进入符合工程价值等级的范围。

───

四、如果工程是RM4 million呢？

现在换一个例子。

你准备建设一个小型工业厂房：

Contract Sum = RM4 million

那么：

G1 ❌

G2 ❌

G3 ❌

G4 ❌

G5 ✅

G6 ✅

G7 ✅

因为：

G4最高一般是RM3 million。

所以一个G4 Contractor，即使他说：

“老板，我做过很多Factory。”

也不能因为过去有经验，就自动代表他符合RM4 million工程的CIDB Grade要求。

这就是为什么：

“做过”不等于“现在有资格承接”。

───

五、如果是RM12 million的Factory呢？

例如你有一块3英亩工业地。

准备发展：

Factory + Warehouse

整个建筑合约：

RM12 million

那么：

G5 ❌

G6 ❌

G7 ✅

因为G6一般最高是RM10 million。

所以RM12 million工程，在Grade层面就应该考虑：

G7 Contractor。

但是注意：

G7只是第一关。

───

六、G7是不是代表什么工程都可以做？

不是。

这是最重要的一点。

很多人看到：

CIDB G7

就以为：

“这个公司什么工程都能做。”

错误。

因为CIDB除了看：

Grade

还要看：

Category

以及：

Specialisation。

所以真正的判断逻辑是：

G7 + 正确Category + 正确Specialisation

而不是：

G7 = 万能Contractor

───

七、CIDB Category到底是什么？

CIDB常见的Category包括：

B = Building

建筑工程。

例如：

• 住宅

• 商业建筑

• 工厂

• 仓库

• 办公楼

• 建筑物扩建等

───

CE = Civil Engineering

土木工程。

例如：

• 道路

• 排水

• 土方

• 桥梁

• 基础设施

• Earthwork

• Drainage等

───

ME = Mechanical & Electrical

机械及电气相关工程。

例如：

• Electrical installation

• Mechanical installation

• M&E系统

• 工业机械相关安装工程

───

F = Facility

设施相关工程及服务。

所以，当你找Contractor时，不应该只是问：

“你是G几？”

而应该问：

“你的CIDB Category是什么？”

───

八、还有第三层：Specialisation

这才是很多地主最容易忽略的地方。

例如一个Contractor：

G5 + B

并不代表：

“所有Building工程都可以做。”

还需要继续看：

Specialisation Code

也就是它具体注册了哪些专业范围。

所以你真正应该检查的是：

Grade

↓

Category

↓

Specialisation

↓

Validity

四个一起看。

───

九、为什么一个G7 Contractor也可能不适合你的工程？

举一个非常简单的例子。

你要建设一个大型工业项目。

Contractor A：

G7

他说：

“老板，我是G7，放心啦。”

你不要马上签。

继续问：

Category是什么？

如果你的项目主要涉及Building，而对方注册的类别或专业范围并不符合你的项目需求，那么：

G7本身并不能解决问题。

这就好像：

一个人拥有最高级别的驾驶资格，

不代表他自动拥有所有特殊车辆的驾驶资格。

所以：

G7是Grade，不是万能牌。

───

十、地主应该要求Contractor拿出什么？

如果你是地主、发展商或企业老板，我建议不要只听口头承诺。

直接要求：

“Please provide your CIDB PPK Certificate.”

也就是：

Perakuan Pendaftaran Kontraktor

承包商注册证书。

然后检查：

① 公司名称

是不是你正在签约的那家公司？

② CIDB Registration Number

是否真实？

③ Grade

G1到G7是哪一个？

④ Category

B、CE、ME还是其他？

⑤ Specialisation

是否符合你的工程？

⑥ Validity

证书是不是目前有效？

不要接受：

“以前有。”

你需要的是：

现在有效。

───

十一、为什么公司名称一定要检查？

这是一个非常实际的问题。

例如：

你找的是：

ABC Construction Sdn Bhd

但是Contractor给你的CIDB证书却是：

XYZ Enterprise

然后他说：

“没关系啦，都是我的公司。”

这时候就必须小心。

因为你签合约的：

Legal Entity

必须和实际承接工程的主体搞清楚。

不能只是：

“老板是同一个人。”

在工程合同、责任、保险、付款、索赔以及法律责任方面，公司主体非常重要。

───

十二、PPK、SPKK、STB不要搞混

CIDB相关文件里面，很多人会看到：

PPK

SPKK

STB

然后全部混在一起。

实际上它们不是同一个东西。

PPK

Perakuan Pendaftaran Kontraktor

就是承包商注册证书。

这是判断承包商CIDB注册资格非常重要的一份文件。

───

SPKK

Sijil Perolehan Kerja Kerajaan

主要涉及政府工程采购资格。

所以：

有PPK ≠ 自动有SPKK。

───

STB

Sijil Taraf Bumiputera

属于Bumiputera Status相关资格。

所以不要看到：

PPK + SPKK + STB

就以为是：

三种不同Grade。

它们是不同层面的证书。

───

十三、CIDB和Architect完全是两回事

这个问题对于地主尤其重要。

假设你有一间老厂房。

你准备：

• 加建办公室

• 增加楼层

• 建Mezzanine

• 修改建筑结构

• 增加厕所

• 扩建仓库

• 改变建筑布局

• 改变建筑用途

你找到一个：

CIDB G7 Contractor

是不是就可以直接开工？

不是。

因为Contractor的CIDB资格只是其中一环。

项目可能还涉及：

• Architect

• Civil & Structural Engineer

• M&E Consultant

• Local Authority / PBT

• Building Plan

• Planning Approval

• Structural Approval

• Fire Safety Requirements

• Land Use

• 其他相关政府部门批准

所以：

CIDB不是Building Approval。

───

十四、CIDB也不等于“这块地可以发展”

这个概念更重要。

例如：

你拥有一块：

Agricultural Land

然后找到一个：

G7 Contractor

他说：

“老板，放心，我可以帮你建factory。”

你千万不要因为他是G7，就认为：

“那我这块农业地可以建工厂。”

这是两个完全不同的问题。

土地问题：

这块土地：

可以做什么？

CIDB问题：

这个Contractor：

有没有资格承接这个工程？

PBT问题：

地方政府：

批不批准这个发展？

所以：

Land Use ≠ CIDB ≠ Building Approval

三者不要混在一起。

───

十五、再举一个最常见的“便宜Contractor”陷阱

假设你要做：

RM2 million Factory Renovation & Extension

你找到三个Contractor。

Contractor A

G2

报价：

RM1.7 million

他说：

“老板，我可以做。”

问题来了：

他的Grade和工程价值可能并不匹配。

───

Contractor B

G4

报价：

RM2.0 million

Grade方面已经进入RM3 million范围。

然后你继续检查：

Category、Specialisation、经验、技术团队。

───

Contractor C

G6

报价：

RM2.2 million

价格比较高。

但他有：

• 合适的CIDB资格

• 专业团队

• Architect配合

• Engineer配合

• Safety系统

• Project Management

• Insurance

• 正规Subcontractor

这时候你不能简单说：

“A最便宜，所以A最好。”

因为建筑工程不是买一张桌子。

Contractor资格、工程风险、设计、审批、施工质量和责任承担都必须计算进去。

───

十六、为什么我特别不建议地主找“廉价外劳Contractor”？

因为真正的问题不是：

“他会不会做？”

而是：

“他有没有资格做？出了问题谁负责？”

有些廉价施工队可能非常便宜。

他们可能会说：

“不用Architect。”

“不用Engineer。”

“不用申请。”

“我们自己可以搞定。”

“放心啦，我做了20年。”

这些话对于地主来说，反而应该成为警讯。

因为一个正规项目需要考虑：

设计 → 结构 → 审批 → CIDB → 施工 → 安全 → 检查 → 完工

而不是：

今天付款 → 明天开工。

───

十七、尤其是Factory和Industrial Project

如果你是工业地产地主，我建议你的筛选标准更严格。

例如：

10,000–50,000 sq ft Factory

甚至：

50,000–200,000 sq ft Warehouse

不要只是找：

“便宜的Builder。”

应该建立一个完整的：

Contractor Due Diligence

至少检查：

CIDB

• Grade

• Category

• Specialisation

• Validity

公司

• SSM

• 公司名称

• 董事

• 财务能力

专业人士

• Architect

• C&S Engineer

• M&E Engineer

• Quantity Surveyor，视项目需要

项目

• Planning approval

• Building plan

• Land use

• PBT requirements

• Fire requirements

• Utility requirements

合约

• Contract Sum

• Payment Terms

• Retention Sum

• Liquidated Damages

• Variation Order

• Defects Liability Period

• Insurance

• Performance Bond，视合同要求

───

十八、最简单的CIDB判断公式

以后有人跟你说：

“老板，我是G7。”

你不要马上回答：

“OK。”

你应该继续问：

“G7什么Category？”

然后：

“什么Specialisation？”

再问：

“你的PPK有效到什么时候？”

最后：

“这个项目Contract Sum是多少？”

这样你才真正开始判断。

───

十九、记住这张“CIDB四层地图”

以后看到CIDB，可以直接这样理解：

第一层：GRADE

决定：

可以承接多大金额的工程。

↓

第二层：CATEGORY

决定：

属于哪一类建筑工程。

↓

第三层：SPECIALISATION

决定：

具体可以做什么专业范围。

↓

第四层：VALIDITY

决定：

现在到底有没有效。

所以：

G7 ≠ 什么都能做。

真正的判断是：

“这个Contractor，有没有足够的Grade，并且Category和Specialisation是否符合我的工程，而且注册目前仍然有效？”

───

二十、最后，给地主一句最重要的话

如果你拥有一块土地，准备：

建屋子、扩建、建Factory、建Warehouse、发展工业项目，

不要只问：

“哪个Contractor最便宜？”

应该先问：

“哪个Contractor合法、合资格、有经验，而且能够承担这个项目的责任？”

因为真正专业的工程，不是：

“谁可以把它盖起来？”

而是：

“谁有资格、谁设计、谁审批、谁施工、谁负责、出了问题谁承担责任？”

所以，选择Contractor时，请记住：

CIDB不是看一张证书就结束。

要看Grade。

要看Category。

要看Specialisation。

要看Validity。

还要看Architect、Engineer、PBT审批和土地用途。

尤其对于工业地产、Factory、Warehouse和大型发展项目，千万不要为了省一点Contractor费用，最后让自己承担几十万甚至几百万令吉的法律、审批、结构和工程风险。

便宜的Contractor，未必是便宜的工程。

正规、有资格、有专业团队的Contractor，才是真正降低地主风险的第一道防线。
