Registration Fees
How much must you pay?
Applications must be accompanied by proof of payment of administration fees (for all grades) as well as annual fees (for grades 2 and higher). A contractor applying for more than one grade in Grades 2 to 9 only needs to pay the annual fees for the highest grade, but is required to pay an admin fee per class of works applied for.
NB: Administration fee is non-refundable (for both compliant and non-compliant applications)
