Construction Management Systems (CMS) training and implementation lead to SANS 1393 certification, applicable to contractors in cidb Grades 5 to 8 within General Building and Civil Engineering.

The standard requires businesses to implement a structured framework of processes and procedures to manage construction risks, improve performance and deliver greater value to clients. This includes:

• Health and safety management:
  CMS training introduces systematic risk assessment protocols to reduce workplace incidents, ensure compliance with the OHS Act and promote a safety-first culture through safety committees, regular audits and daily briefings.
• Quality management:
  Training supports consistent delivery standards through structured quality control, reducing rework costs and improving client satisfaction through quality checkpoints, document control and corrective action procedures.
• Environmental management (air, water, land and waste):
  The standard addresses environmental impact mitigation by supporting compliant management plans that improve resource efficiency and reduce operational costs.

The CMS standard, also known as SANS 1393, is a cost-effective standard tailored to the needs of local construction clients. cidb provides training to the business owner or a designated representative, who must be a permanent employee of the company.
