CIDB grade calculator
Looks up the CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) contractor grade a tender's value requires. The grade-to-value bands are the same for every class of construction work (GB, CE, EB, EP, ME, SB, SC) - only the grade you actually hold in a given class differs.
Minimum grade required

This tool answers "what grade does a contract of this value require"; it does not calculate what grade your own track record would earn you (the "potential grading" rules in reg 11/17) - that's a CIDB Register of Contractors application.
