Clause (3) of the Construction Industry Development Board (Registration of Service Providers other than Consultants) Regulations 2018 stipulates that “No person shall act as a Service Provider unless he is registered with the Council”.
No individual or firm is allowed to undertake construction works in Mauritius, unless it is registered under the Construction Industry Authority (CIA) Act. “Micro-contractors” are exempted from this requirement, but they are deemed to be local contractors.
“Micro-contractor” means:
1) an individual who is a citizen and undertakes construction works of the value less than MUR 1 million (excluding VAT) per contract; or
2) a firm, the control of which is vested in a person who is a citizen, that undertakes construction works of the value MUR 1 million (excluding VAT) per contract. A firm is said to have “control” if at least 50% of the shares in that firm are vested in a person who is a citizen.
There are 4 classes of works under which a Contractor can register: Building Construction Works; Civil Engineering Construction Works; Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Works (MEP Works); and Specific Works.
Contractors are classified into 4 grades namely, SMALL, MEDIUM I, MEDIUM II and LARGE. Each grade allows a Contractor to undertake construction up to a contract value.
A Contractor is not allowed to undertake construction works above his Grade Limit.
