Important Rules & Compliance Standards

• Contractors undertaking or intending to undertake construction work in Malaysia should be registered with CIDB unless an applicable exemption applies.
• G1 registration is generally subject to a maximum project value of RM200,000 per project, subject to the approved registration scope and applicable requirements.
• The business nature registered with SSM or the relevant authority should be related to construction, facility maintenance, or the intended CIDB scope.
• The applicant must select categories and specialisations that genuinely reflect the business’s intended work, capability, and supporting documents.
• The contractor must maintain the required financial capacity, ownership or director information, business registration, and supporting documentation.
• CIDB registration does not automatically grant approval to undertake work outside the approved grade, category, specialisation, or project value limit.
• CIDB G1 registration alone does not automatically qualify a contractor for government projects, SPKK, MOF registration, Bumiputera status, or every tender requirement.
• The contractor should retain original supporting documents for compliance review and verification purposes.
• The contractor must not lend, rent, transfer, or allow another person or company to misuse its CIDB certificate or registration.
• Contractor registration, project declaration, work permits, safety compliance, Green Card registration, local authority approvals, and professional requirements are separate obligations where applicable.
