How long is the contractor license registration process?

The registration process usually takes 14-30 working days depending on document completeness and the grade applied for.

What is the difference between PPK, SPKK, and STB?

PPK is the mandatory basic certificate for all contractors. SPKK is required for government project tenders. STB is a special certificate for Bumiputera-owned companies.

Can I apply directly for a high grade (G5-G7)?

Grade depends on paid-up capital, experience, and technical director qualifications. New companies usually start from G1 or G2, then upgrade after meeting the requirements.

Is a technical director mandatory?

Yes, every CIDB-registered contractor company must have a qualified technical director — minimum a Diploma in construction field.

How much does registration cost?

Starting from RM500 (G1) up to RM5,500 (G7). Price includes processing fees and advisory services.

What grade can an Enterprise register for?

Enterprise is only eligible for G1 and G2. G3 and above require a Sdn Bhd company.
