The cidb was established to provide leadership to
stakeholders and to stimulate sustainable growth, reform and improvement of the
construction sector for effective delivery and the industry’s enhanced role in
the country’s economy.
Contractor Management Guidelines Available
Together with PPC and NURCHA, the cidb has published Sections 1 and 2 of the Contractor Management Guidelines (CMG 101). Section 3 will be published shortly. The Guidelines target small and medium size contractors, and cover the principles of: "Establishing a Construction Business"; "Operating a Construction Business"; and "Executing a Construction Project".
Ishmail Cassiem, the cidb Manager responsible for the development and production of the Guidelines, says “the Guidelines target existing practitioners, and are not a business “start-up” tool. However, the Guidelines do target new or emerging entrants, and target contractors who have the potential to grow and who strive to improve their performance.”
The Guidelines are available free of charge in electronic format (pdf), or printed copies can be obtained from the cidb. The electronic copies can be downloaded here.
