G3 contractors in Malaysia can handle construction projects worth up to RM3 million.
By contrast, G3 certification only allows for contracts up to RM1 million, a significant difference.
In this guide, you’ll learn the basics of CIDB’s G4 contractor certification, including:
- minimum requirements
- required documents
- registration steps and fees, and
- license renewal
Let’s begin.
Minimum requirements
There are three main requirements:
- Paid-up capital of RM500,000
- One Diploma holder
- Obtain at least 20 CCD points annually for license renewal
Required documents
- Academic certificates
- FM resume if applying for category F
- Certificate of Registration for Competent Persons (if available)
- Certificate of Agency Registration
- Annual Return (if the application is from a limited company)
- Annual Return of the company holding shares in the company
- Current Financial Statement if from business registered under ROB / PLT / ROS
- Partnership Agreement if from partnership
- Company Information, E-InfoSSM services for LLP
- Registration of Societies/Associations (ROS)
- List of company directors for Sdn Bhds
Registration steps and fees
CIDB license applications should be made via CIDB’s CIMS portal.
First time visitors will need to create a user account – and it must be by a company director or owner!
Once you’ve created your account, applying for the license is a simple four-step process:
- Select the CIDB grade you’re applying for
- Upload necessary documents
- Pay RM50 application fee
- Pay RM1,400 annual fee once approved
If all documents are in order, CIDB applications typically take seven working days to process.
This license can be renewed for up to three years, depending on CCD points accumulated – read our FAQs on CIDB licenses for more on that.
And that’s all!
Well, not quite all – you’ll probably want to apply for these follow up licenses:
- SPKK Certificate to bid on government construction projects
- STB Certificate to bid on Bumiputera-only construction projects, and
- CIDB Green Cards for any on-site staff members
Good luck with your application and if you need help, we’re just a click away.
