Chairperson's Statement

Brian Bruce, Chairperson of the ci b.d

1 ci b - development through partnershipd

This third year of formalised construction

industry development has crystallised into

tangible action much of the great

preparatory work done by so many people over

the past seven years of both Task Team and Board

activity. The Construction Registers Service is a

significant milestone in creating a more regulated

industry for the sustainable benefit of all industry

participants and its broader stakeholder group.

The construction economy in South Africa is

performing at its best levels in more than a

decade. Investment into public infrastructure and

services has grown at a steady rate over the past

few years, offering increased levels of opportunity

to the empowerment and SMME sectors of the

construction industry. Historically lower interest

and inflation rates seem to be sustainable,

boosting private investment into the commercial

building and residential sectors.

Cement demand has reached record levels and

producers are considering a step-change in new

capacity investment for the first time in many

years. Building and construction material

suppliers in general are benefiting and for the first

time in more than a decade, are utilising more

than 50% of previous installed capacity.

But not all is working to gear the full potential of

our industry. The resources sector is suffering

from the strength and volatility of our currency,

forcing major cutbacks in capital expansion. A

resurgence in the Asian economies and China in

particular offers a competitive alternative to

industrial investment in South Africa. We are

challenged by our distance from global export

markets, and again by the capacity of our

transport infrastructure. An approach is needed

that addresses the collective consequence of

these factors to stimulate a greater appetite for

fixed investment into productive capacity.

Growth of construction remains pivotal to South

Africa's economic prospect and is an indicator of

progress. Our work of the past year has focused

on instruments to drive an enabling environment

within which construction industry growth,

twinned with empowerment, can be realised.

Growth of construction is equally pivotal to

Africa's economic progress and this vast

opportunity seems out of reach at present, with

most South African contractors reporting

difficulties with operating conditions and delayed

payments. Much of the work crystallised by cidb

over the past year has broad relevance for the

continent, including streamlined procurement,

governance and the management of

infrastructure delivery.

The Construction Industry Development Board

has proved its early capacity in leading our

industry and its stakeholders on a journey of

transformation. I take this opportunity to thank

my Board colleagues and the CIDB executive

team under the leadership of Spencer Hodgson

for the exceptional dedication they have shown to

our common objective of industry development.

All South Africans will benefit in time from the

work that has been and is being done.

CEO's Report

The Construction Industry Development Board (ci b)

completes the financial year ready to roll-out the

development framework envisaged in its founding Act.

The strategic priorities of the ci b 2003/04 business plan have

been realized thanks to the achievement of our growing

executive capacity and our partnership with industry and its

stakeholders. Board leadership has guided and continuously

tested progress against the principal objectives of construction

industry development.

In facing the challenges of the past year the process of

construction industry development has continued to draw on

the championship role played by the Minister of Public Works,

Ms Stella Sigcau, the leadership and people in her department

and in provincial public works and transport departments

around the country. Common objectives have underpinned

collaboration with leaders of industry, National Treasury,

government departments and development agencies. Their

support, advice and commitment have been instrumental at

pivotal moments of the industry development process.

d

We are indebted to the many stakeholder organizations and

individuals who have invested time and experience to deepen

our understanding and to shape the development framework

and progress reflected in this report. Through partnership we

have moved the construction industry development process

from concept and strategy to the point of implementation that

marks our challenge for the year ahead.

With this objective we have concentrated on key

components of the regulatory and development framework that

will drive a convergence of stakeholder focus for sustainable

delivery, growth, empowerment, and improving capability and

performance of the industry.

Spencer Hodgson,CEO of the ci b.d

gence of stakeholder focus for sustainable delivery,

growth, empowerment and the improving capability

and performance of the industry.”

Key components of the framework delivered this

year

• Enabling Construction Industry Development

Regulations promulgated by the Minister of Public

Works and articulating the regulatory framework for

development progress.

• Development and piloting of the Construction

Registers Service that will now be rolled out to

drive improved performance, delivery, sustainable

growth and empowerment.

• Finalisation of a national procurement framework

to promote consistent procurement and delivery,

including

• Library of Procurement Best Practice,

• Code of Conduct, and

• Standard for Uniformity in Construction

Procurement.

• Finalisation of the Toolkit Delivery Management

System which underpins government's public sector

Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme for

roll-out in the year ahead.

Over the past year we have continued to build an all-round

ability and to bed down standards of delivery and governance.

Once again we take pride in the unqualified Auditor General's

Report, which together with the year's output reflects a “can-

do, will-do!” ownership of the development and corporate

challenge.

Epitomising this commitment is our CFO, Nellie Pillay, who

retires for family reasons. She hands over to Amit Ramasar an

impeccable set of financial and corporate governance systems,

a capable team and a leadership contribution to the building of

ci b.

In our second full year of executive capacity, the

organization has taken up permanent accommodation on the

SABS campus. We are pleased to be able to share this facility

with our sister institution, the Council for the Built Environment

From the start of the financial year we were able to build on

a core executive team of 13 people, growing to 18 at year end.

Increasingly the executive has shouldered operational and

strategic responsibility, enabling ci b to respond to rising

demands on our service.

Internal growth continues to reflect the organisation's

resolve to ensure a representative make-up of management

and staff in terms of race, gender and skills. With over 80

percent black and 60 percent women, we remain well ahead of

the equity targets set out in our business plan. Our diversity

reinforces an all-round appreciation of the implementation

tasks ahead.

d

Building our specialist capacity has required the executive

to stretch its conceptual understanding in a range of forums and

in the development and presentation of peer-reviewed papers,

both nationally and internationally. These have covered key

aspects of our development agenda including the role of

procurement and public sector delivery. A paper on client best

practice and sustainable construction received a best paper

award at the international conference on Knowledge

Construction in Developing Countries held in Singapore.

Among a range of focused capacity building activities was

the participation of three of our managers in the one-month

Construction Management Programme held bi-annually in

Stellenbosch. This intensive course consolidated their growth

and linkage to stakeholders represented on the programme.

Into the future we will continue with industry to promote the

role and relevance of CMP in shaping the leading edge

performance of constructors and clients.

Construction Management Programme (CMP)

This year the cidb's capacity building benefited from

involvement in the intensive one-month Construction

Management Programme (CMP) held bi-annually in

Stellenbosch. This premier development programme,

sponsored by the industry for construction executives,

ranks with the top international programmes of its kind,

and over the years has helped to shape industry leaders.

The 2003 CMP programme embraced a two-prong

focus on Construction Industry Development and

Construction Business Development.

ci b support to the programme included various

presentations by the CEO and Board members, amongst

whom are former CMP graduates.

d

“I am pleased to say that the delegates from

ci b did the organisation proud with their input

during the CMP 2003."

Prof Fred Hugo

ownership of the development and corporate

challenge.”

Building the regulatory platform

Primary effort over the past year has been directed at delivering

the regulatory platform that will enable ci b to implement the

development mandate entrusted to it by Parliament. This finds

expression in the new Construction Industry Development

Regulations.

Grounded in the CIDB Act, the enabling regulations were

published for comment by the Minister of Public Works in March

2004. Subsequent promulgation in June paves the way for

implementation of the Construction Registers Service and for

consistent and uniform construction procurement.

Government Gazette 26427 reflects the considerable input

of public and private sector stakeholders to formulate and refine

the conceptual framework for the Register of Contractors, the

Register of Projects and the Standard for Uniformity in

Construction Procurement. Reinforcing the regulatory

framework is the ci b Code of Conduct - also published during

the year.

The regulations have also been firmly embedded in the

Toolkit Delivery Management System, developed with National

Treasury to provide the basis for improved public sector delivery

and capacity building.

We are convinced that the newly published regulations will

drive a convergence in development focus by the industry and

its clients. The challenge ahead is effective implementation to

promote:

• enhanced infrastructure delivery,

• improved performance of industry and clients,

• sustainable industry growth, capability and empowerment.

Our mandate: a regulatory and development

framework

cidb is a Schedule 3a public entity. The Board comprises

private and public sector individuals appointed by the

Minister of Public Works on the basis of their individual

knowledge and expertise. It is supported by a knowledge-

based organization that is committed to the development

objectives defined in the CIDB Act (38 of 2000).

The ci b's mandate is to:

• Provide strategic leadership to construction

industry stakeholders and develop effective

partnerships for growth, reform and improvement of

the construction sector

• Promote sustainable growth of the construction

industry and the sustainable participation of the

emerging sector in the industry

• Promote improved performance and best

practice of public and private sector clients,

contractors and other participants in the

construction delivery process

• Promote procurement and delivery

management, the uniform application of policy

throughout all spheres of government, uniform and

ethical standards including a code of conduct

• Establish the registration of projects and

contractors, and other suppliers, to systematically

regulate and monitor the performance of the

industry and its stakeholders for sustainable growth,

delivery and empowerment and for improved

performance and capability.

Development context

6annual report 2004

To both focus our work and shape a common understanding of

the industry's strategic direction, we have engaged the broader

strategic debate and the implementation environment.

Growth

All indicators and stakeholder perceptions recorded in Status

Report 2004 confirm our conviction that the construction

industry will need to double its output over the next 10 years to

meet rising demand and South Africa's objectives for economic

and social growth. This growth presents challenges to all

stakeholders in respect of employment, empowerment,

capacity, delivery and performance.

Employment

Engaging the job creation focus of the Expanded Public Works

Programme, ci b has commenced a process to declare best

practice guidelines for labour-based construction. Similarly we

initiated a review of the new regulations that promote client

responsibility for occupational health and safety.

Empowerment

In the context of the Broad-based Black Economic

Empowerment Act (BEE Act) ci b has aligned the potential of

the Construction Registers Service to underpin empowerment

in the sector. In response to a request of industry constituents,

we have engaged our capacity in support of the charter process.

Towards this process ci b commissioned a study on

empowerment progress, opportunities and challenges. It is

clear that significant investment prospects provide the potential

to deliver empowerment objectives.

d

d

d

A key finding of the study captured in the Status Report

confirms a perception that stakeholders believe a shift is

needed from the current increase in number of enterprises to a

focus on sustainability, capacity and enterprise growth. With

this objective we have shaped the Register of Contractors and

its grading system to provide a framework for targeted success-

driven enterprise development and for monitoring and

promoting empowerment progress against targets that will be

established by government and industry in the Construction

Charter.

Capacity

The capacity challenge was raised at the November 2003

Stakeholder Forum and also emerged in the context of major

private sector projects, including minerals and mining. A study

developed by the National Advisory Council for Innovation

promoted debate on skills gaps and shortages in specific sectors

of the industry. ci b was called upon to draft a chapter on

Structural Issues Impacting on Capacity to Deliver Major

Projects.

This input for sustainable skills development highlights the

responsibility of clients and proposes a set of principles to

promote partnership for development. ci b has also called on

the industry to take ownership of the new skills training

environment and to invest in people.

d

d

Client responsibility in enterprise sustainability

and skills

(Extract from ci b input to a study on industry skills and

capability)

Decades of declining demand and demand volatility has

led to a decline of specialist skills and capability within

the industry at management, supervisory and artisan

level. Linked to this, the procurement practices of major

clients focused on lowest price awards of contract have

driven the industry into unsustainable levels of com-

petition. This has resulted in the shedding of labour and

a reliance on labour brokers, who are not part of the

skills development equation.

ci b has advanced a set of principles to underpin the

role of clients, including the need to:

• Recognise that clients are the drivers of positive

change and that their delivery and procurement

practices shape the development and sustainability

of the industry

• Ensure that major projects are planned, scheduled

and procured with cognizance of the need to develop

and retain capability

• Recognise that win-win outcomes are the basis for

partnership and therefore ensure that client procure-

ment practices minimize waste and maximise the

use of existing capability by:

• promoting greater consistency in the procure-

ment process

• promoting value based solutions rather than

lowest price

• optimising the potential of the contracting sector

to innovate.

Engaging the environment

“…the construction industry will need to double

its output over the next 10 years to meet rising

demand and South Africa's objectives for

economic and social growth.”

Delivery

We have also highlighted the positive impact that will derive

from major public sector reform initiatives and the roll-out of

the Toolkit Infrastructure Delivery Management system to build

public capacity.

In this context and in response to requests from the Eastern

Cape, ci b in cooperation with Coega Development Corporation

and the Rapid Infrastructure Development Agency (RIDA), has

mobilized technical capacity to support the provincial

government's drive to build delivery capability. Our input in

terms of the Toolkit and the new Framework for Supply Chain

Management and procurement aims at reinforcing the initiative

of the poorest province with the largest infrastructure backlog

and largest planned expenditure over the next five years.

In November 2003, the ci b again convened the

Stakeholder Forum of over 80 delegates appointed from all key

sectors. Under the theme “A better industry for all!”, the

meeting was attended by Minister Sigcau and Deputy Minister

of Public Works, Rev Musa Zondi and reviewed ci b progress

and plans since the inaugural meeting in 2002.

Breakaway groups led by Board and executive members

reviewed the role of stakeholders towards an improved

industry. The central themes and issues informed the findings

and conclusions of the Status Report that was presented to

stakeholders in April 2004. In the year ahead we will call for

nominations to reconstitute the forum in accordance with the

CIDB Act.

The November Forum meeting was preceded by workshops

in Bloemfontein, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Midrand where

staff and Board members engaged discussion on the

Construction Registers Service, procurement best practice, the

Toolkit and Code of Conduct. In Limpopo, piloting and

refinement of the Registers has been further informed by

workshops with contractors across the province.

Expanding international partnership, the organisation

hosted delegations from sister institutions in Africa, including

Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania. Responding to a request from

Tanzania's National Construction Council, ci b delivered a

keynote address to its conference on “Construction Industry

Development in a Changing Global Environment”. We were also

able to mobilize associate industry expertise to provide insight

to the conference on South Africa's experience in the

development of public private partnerships.

Continued cooperation with the Building Construction

Authority (BCA) of Singapore was consolidated by a visiting

delegation that peer-reviewed the principles, technical

infrastructure and business processes of the pilot Construction

Registers Service.

Building partnership

Development context

Our commitment to a partnership model is founded on the

understanding that construction industry development

addresses the role and contribution of all who add value to the

construction delivery process, and all those who influence the

industry's performance and transformation.

Page 12: development through partnership - cidb Home Report 2003-2004.pdf · development through partnership cidb ci b is constituted to lead construction industry development in South Africa

Intensive focus through the year has delivered the Construction

Registers Service that will shape and reflect progress in the

transformation of the South African construction industry.

With publication of regulations in June this year, we are able

to commence the 2004 national roll-out of the Register of

Projects and the Register of Contractors in line with our

business plan commitment.

Promulgating the Construction Industry Development

Regulations, Minister Sigcau said “The CIDB will implement the

Construction Registers Service as legislated by Parliament to

create an enabling regulatory environment that supports

improved industry performance and more effective delivery.”

As required by the Act, contractors registered with the ci b

will be assessed in terms of their construction works and

financial capability. The assessment criteria are built around

basic business sustainability criteria, which will ensure that

contractors only execute construction works within their

capability. This will result in a more sustainable tendering and

contracting environment for contractors, and in significantly

reduced project failures.

We have now concluded the pilot phase of the Registers with

support of a client steering committee including the Limpopo

and Gauteng Department of Public Works and Transport, the

National Department of Public Works and eThekwini Metro. The

pilot phase registered almost 2000 contractors and has enabled

valuable feedback to improve a range of criteria relating to

grading, fees, ci b capacity and other aspects of the service.

Registration has received the broad support of industry and

stakeholders in a wide range of workshops held with clients and

contractors. Clients like the Department of Public Works await

the registers roll-out as a basis for targeted enterprise

development initiatives such as the envisaged incubator

programme.

In Limpopo, where 80% of public construction is delivered

by black contractors, many complained that industry

opportunity is being raided by “part-time” players, who win

tenders and subcontract to real contractors. Their aspiration is

that registration will promote more sustainable opportunity and

growth for committed industry participants. The unsustainable

tendering environment is borne out by client experience.

Limpopo Public Works has reported receiving over 100 tenders

for a classroom block with an estimated value of R300 000.

A case study conducted by ci b on a tender for housing

services at Hammanskraal illustrates the tender evaluation

dilemma facing public officials and the wasteful cost of

tendering to the industry, with 21 tenders ranging from R6

million to over R60mn. An analysis of the capabilities of

tenderers in terms of the proposed ci b contractor grading

system indicated that 6 tenderers were competent to tender.

Their offers ranged from R11m to R17m, demonstrating the

potential of the Register to regularize the tendering

environment.

Phased implementation in the year ahead will be closely

monitored to ensure that the system design and requirements

are practically aligned with the principles and intentions of

construction industry development and the CIDB Act. We will

also be challengened to expand the full potential of the registers

to:

• incorporate empowerment criteria agreed by industry and

government

• introduce the phase two requirements for client and

contractor best practice

• measure and report on impact

• promote the grading system as a basis for targeted

development interventions by clients

• conceptualise a register of professional service providers.

CIDB Act 38 of 2000:

The CIDB Act stipulates that to promote best practice,

the Board must establish and maintain:

• “…a national Register of Contractors …, which

provides for categories of contractors in a

manner which facilitates public sector

procurement.

• a best practice contractor recognition scheme

…which promotes contractor development

and monitors contractor performance.

• the Register of Projects and the best practice

project assessment scheme…for the promotion,

assessment and evaluation of best practice on

construction contracts

and may establish and maintain “…a register of

suppliers, manufacturers or service providers.”

The CIDB Act and the new regulations stipulate that:

• All contractors undertaking work for the public

sector must be registered

• All public and private sector projects above a

certain value must be registered by clients.

Framework for transformation

Addressing his aspiration, Pepi Silinga, ci b Deputy

Chairperson and CEO of Coega (a major industry client), said

that the “grading assessment envisaged in the regulations will

enable clients to target their development programmes in a

more focused way so that contractors are able to grow and

evolve within the framework.

By promoting best practice and compliance with statutory

obligations throughout the delivery chain, the Registers will

begin to close the gap between the formal and informal sectors.

Importantly, we believe the Registers will support sustainable

broad based Black Economic Empowerment.”

Construction Registers Service - an overview

The registers drive a macro risk management process for

clients and contractors regulating the construction industry

around a common development agenda underpinned by best

practice procurement and project processes.

As envisaged by the legislation, the registers are the

principle instruments driving improved demand and supply-

side industry performance. They constitute a regulatory

framework that supports sustainable delivery, development

and empowerment.

The data assembled by the registers will provide a

comprehensive overview of construction demand and supply

across the country as well as information on the transforming

practices of clients and contractors.

The national Register of Contractors supports public

sector risk management, reduces the administrative burden

associated with the award of contracts, and promotes the

performance and development of contractors.

The national Register of Projects registers all public and

private sector projects above a prescribed value. The

Register provides information on the nature and distribution

of projects and promotes the performance of public and

private sector clients in the development of the construction

industry.

In its design and piloting, the ci b has aimed to ensure

that the service meets the following objectives:

d

Reduced risk to public sector clients through the

Register of Contractors that will categorise contractors in

accordance with their capability

Streamlined procurement with reduced wastage,

including reduced tendering costs to industry, and reduced

tender evaluation costs to public sector clients.

Improved construction delivery through

• requirements on private and public sector clients that

promote consistent procurement practice, sustainable

development and transformation

• a contractor recognition scheme that promotes supply-

side performance in terms of quality, safety, health and

the environment

A framework that supports sustainability in the

tendering environment and enables clients to structure

their contracting and development strategies to target

appropriate sectors of the market

An established track record for emerging contractors

that will facilitate public and private sector confidence and

access to credit, finance and opportunity

Access by decision makers, clients and service

providers to live and comprehensive geographic

information on construction demand and supply, including

size, nature and distribution of projects and service

providers

Business to business linkages

An improved industry image that fosters investment.

to address the confusion amongst participants in construction

contracts and bring a modicum of standardization to the

delivery process…” The report requested by Business Unity

South Africa acknowledges the significant effort of private and

public sector stakeholders.

In 2003, the ci b convened a focus group of over 50

industry specialists, practitioners and stakeholders, including

client representatives, to peer-review and refine:

a) A Code of Conduct for all participants in the construction

procurement process, including the private sector.

b) Construction Procurement Best Practice guidelines for

public and private sectors.

These were published for comment in the government

gazette. Comment was reviewed by the focus group and the

ci b Board. The refined outcome has subsequently been

published in accordance with the CIDB Act.

c) The Standard for Uniformity in Construction Procure-

ment

In line with regulations promulgated by the Minister of

Public Works on the 9th June 2004, the ci b has finalized and

published the Standard for Uniformity in Construction

Procurement, which incorporates best practice. The regulations

and the standard reflect government's determination to

promote uniform procurement practice throughout the public

sector.

The Standard is aligned with National Treasury's regulations on

Supply Chain Management (December 2003) and is

underpinned by the Public Finance Management Act. ci b has

ensured that the standard is also embedded in the Toolkit

Delivery Management System which provides the platform for

roll-out and capacity building throughout the public sector.

Standard for Uniformity in Construction

Procurement: an overview

The ci b Standard for Uniformity in Construction Procure-

ment establishes requirements for construction

procurement that are aimed at bringing about stan-

dardisation and uniformity in procurement documentation,

practices and procedures. This Standard establishes

minimum requirements which are consistent with the

provisions of the regulatory framework for public

procurement. It provides the overarching framework for

the inviting of tender offers, for procurement documents

and procedures.

The Standard references best practice and is published

in Government Gazette 26427 of 09 June. It is also

available on the ci b website.

The ci b has worked with a focus group of industry

experts to develop a library of best practices relating to

procurement in the construction industry.

The Construction Best Practice Library has been peer

reviewed by industry experts and is referenced in the

Standard for Uniformity in Construction Procurement and

in the Toolkit Delivery Management System. The Library

comprises best practices in the following categories:

• Procurement procedures

• Procurement documentation

• Contracting strategies

• Alternative dispute resolution

• Subcontracting arrangements

• Joint venture arrangements

The Best Practice Library is available on CD and can be

downloaded from the ci b website - www.cidb.org.za.

Delivering the Code of Conduct

The construction industry operates in a uniquely project-

specific environment, continuously combining different clients,

consulting professions, as well as different contractors and

subcontractors in a variable supply chain. Procurement

arrangements, which also vary considerably, bind this supply

chain and define the obligations, liabilities and risks that link the

parties together in the delivery process.

The conduct of parties throughout the supply chain impacts

on the ability of the construction industry to deliver value and to

perform efficiently and competitively. A high standard of

conduct is essential to the growth, development and

sustainability of enterprises and to the objectives of

empowerment and transformation. Conduct impacts directly on

project costs, timely completion and delivered quality.

The ci b Code of Conduct for construction represents an

important step in the management of integrity and the creation

of an environment within which business can be conducted in a

fair and transparent manner. It also forms an essential first line

of defence in combating the scourge of corruption, including the

practice of fronting. The Act provides for enforcement of the

Code. But it is in the interests of a better construction industry

d

CIDB Act 38 of 2000:

The CIDB Act mandates the ci b to establish and promote

uniform and ethical standards “that regulate the

actions, practices and procedures of parties engaged

in construction contracts” and stipulates that:

“To promote uniform and ethical standards within the

construction industry the Board: must publish a code

of conduct for all construction-related procurement

and all participants involved in the procurement

process.”

d

Code of Conduct:

The six-point Code of Conduct deliberately avoids the pitfall

of detail. The Code states that the parties in any public or

private construction-related procurement should in their

dealings with each other:

• Behave equitably, honestly and transparently.

• Discharge duties and obligations timeously and with

integrity.

• Comply with all applicable legislation and associated

regulations.

• Satisfy all relevant requirements established in pro-

curement documents.

• Avoid conflicts of interest.

• Not maliciously or recklessly injure or attempt to injure

the reputation of another party.

The Code has been published with a set of examples that

illustrate good conduct and, by implication, conduct that

would breach this Code.

The Code is available in hard copy and can be

downloaded from the ci b website.d

to have all parties committed and to do business only with those

who apply the code in all business processes.

Promoting the Code of Conduct is an industry wide

challenge. ci b will ensure its distribution to all registered

contractors and all clients that register projects. In cooperation

with the South African Institution of Civil Engineering, we have

embarked on workshops around the country to promote the

Code and the role of the professions in best practice procure-

ment.

Our joint commitment must also translate into a programme

that supports the empowerment of SME's to know their “rights

responsibilities and risks” in construction contracts. The cidb

“3R's guide to contracts” produced last year provides a basic

tool for this purpose and has been much in demand from

stakeholders.

The construction industry in South Africa now has a Code of

Conduct for all parties engaged in construction procurement,

including clients, the professions and all service providers. This

is a landmark achievement for industry development and

transformation. It aligns industry and its partners with

international standards for good corporate governance and the

provisions of the King Report 2002. The code was developed in

consultation with stakeholders through the procurement focus

group and was published in Government Gazette No. 25656 of

October 2003.

“Our joint commitment must also translate into

a programme that supports the empowerment of

SME's to know their 'rights responsibilities and

ci b has delivered on the strategy conceived last year for a

systematic approach to improved delivery of public

infrastructure.

The Infrastructure Delivery Management Toolkit has been

developed in collaboration with National Treasury. Consultation

with provincial treasuries and delivery departments has

brought the prototype Toolkit to completion.

The Toolkit provides a systematic guide to the full cycle of

infrastructure delivery from needs identification, planning and

budgeting through to procurement, construction, handover and

maintenance. It provides a common platform for public sector

delivery which accounts for about 40% of construction

investment.

The Toolkit underpins the planned implementation of

government's Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Pro-

gramme (IDIP) that will be rolled out in a phased approach over

the next 2 years.

d

The key strategy of the roll out programme is to facilitate the

development of appropriate capacity in each identified

provincial department. An extensive induction, capacity

building, mentoring and coaching programme on the Toolkit will

be initiated in key provincial departments.

It is particularly rewarding that our early conceptual work

has led to this programme and partnership, which is expressed

in a Memorandum of Understanding with National Treasury and

the Department of Public Works. Our investment of effort has

helped to leverage a R20 million capacity building programme

for 2004/05 that is supported by the European Commission in

cooperation with the Development Bank of South Africa.

In the year ahead, ci b resources will be severely tested to

ensure our obligation to train the 13 Technical Assistants

recruited for the pilot roll-out, to monitor success of the

capacity building process, and to adapt and maintain the Toolkit

and its integrity.

d

CIDB Act 38 of 2000:

The Act mandates the ci b to:

“…determine and establish best practice that

promotes improved public sector delivery

management; promote uniform application of policy

with regard to the construction industry throughout

all spheres of Government;” and in this regard “develop

and promote appropriate training programmes for

public sector officials.”

d

Delivery and capacity

“a R20 million capacity building programme

The Toolkit Delivery Management System:

The IT-based methodology will enable public-sector

delivery managers to:

• Design infrastructure & maintenance programmes

using simple templates and guides to formulate

effective programme implementation plans

• Locate policy guidelines relevant to each delivery

stage

• Appropriately allocate budget in alignment with

programmes

• Identify and prioritise projects

• Manage planning and the design of projects

• Procure professional services, goods and supplies

• Manage construction procurement

• Oversee the implementation of projects and administer

contracts

• Consistently report on progress using a Management

Information System.

The Toolkit incorporates the ci b Standard for Uniformity in

Construction Procurement and client procedures in terms

of contractor and project registration. It forms the basis for

roll-out of government's Infrastructure Delivery and

Improvement Programme, commencing in 2004.

This year we have responded to government's focus on job

creation and poverty alleviation as embodied in the Expanded

Public Works Programme (EPWP). Using labour-based

construction methods, the EPWP will promote short-term work

opportunities and training in the delivery of national, provincial

and municipal infrastructure.

On the request of the EPWP we have started a process to

establish Labour-Based Best Practice Guidelines that extend

the job creation potential of existing guidelines. Building on the

work of the Inter-ministerial Task Team on Construction

Industry Development which preceded the ci b, our executive

has expanded the application of technologies and methods to

increase the employment generated per unit of expenditure.

A focus group of industry specialists and stakeholders has

reviewed and refined these guidelines with a view to their

publication and promotion during 2004.

Referring to the agreement reached by the social partners at

the Growth and Development Summit, Minister Sigcau has

highlighted “the special responsibility placed on the

construction industry to spearhead job creation and skills

development so that our growing economy is increasingly

accessible to all citizens and in turn is injected with the vigour

of expanding productive participation.”

Beyond the pressing need for job creation lies the challenge

of sustainable and improved employment. Enterprise con-

solidation and growth are fundamental to meeting this

challenge and will be fostered by the Construction Registers

Service as it begins to stabilize the market, providing a

framework for targeted enterprise development initiatives. The

service will also drive improved health and safety practices and

client responsibility to ensure HIV/Aids awareness on

construction projects.

d

CIDB Act 38 of 2000:

The Act defines best practice as “a desirable and

appropriate standard, process, procedure, method

or system in relation to the delivery process and the

life cycle of fixed assets.”

The Act tasks the Board to determine and establish best

practice that promotes national social and economic

objectives including labour absorption in the

construction industry, growth of the emerging sector,

improved labour relations, positive safety, health and

environmental outcomes.

Labour-Based Best Practice Guidelines in

development

It is generally accepted that employment intensive

methods are technically feasible for a wide range of

construction activities and, with the appropriate use of

equipment, can generally produce the same quality as

equipment-intensive methods.

The ci b best practice guidelines establish desirable

and appropriate standards, processes, procedures and

methods relating to the design and implementation of:

• Labour-based construction methods for earthworks.

• Labour-based methods for materials manufacture

covering:

- precast concrete products using hand methods and

light equipment,

- stabilized adobe block walling.

• Labour-based construction technologies for open flow

channels, rubble masonry, dam and arch bridge

construction, roads and pavements.

• Procurement methods for implementing labour based

construction works projects.

The draft guidelines are available on the ci b website and

will be published and promoted in the year ahead.

In partnership with industry and academics the ci b held a Post

Graduate Student Conference as a step towards a national

research agenda for construction industry development.

The Conference received support from the provincial MEC

for Public Works, Ms Gloria Barry and Minister Stella Sigcau,

who engaged students and academics in a special imbizo on

research issues and priorities. The generous contributions and

commitment of industry players including FEM, Lafarge SA,

Coega, AAAMSA Group, UPE and the Peninsula Technikon

ensured the conference viability.

Thirty research papers highlighted current areas of

academic interest. The conference enabled greater focus of

South Africa's intellectual capability on the critical challenges of

construction industry development. It provided students,

researchers and practitioners with a unique opportunity to

network, share ideas and learn from each other's work.

We have taken the work of the conference forward to

develop a research database. The second post graduate student

conference to be held in Cape Town will be facilitated in

partnership with the University of Cape Town and ci b intends

to present a survey of current tertiary research on the built

environment.

A key challenge in development of the R&D agenda is the

limited availability of funding impairing the ability of industry,

government and clients to sustain a national built environment

research capability that stimulates innovation and underpins a

quality teaching capability. In collaboration with CSIR, the ci b

has developed a preliminary concept document to promote

discussion on a research and development partnership by

government, private sector clients and industry.

Status Report 2004

Page 20: development through partnership - cidb Home Report 2003-2004.pdf · development through partnership cidb ci b is constituted to lead construction industry development in South Africa

The ci b framework of CII's has been developed with the

support of CSIR Boutek and initial work by DPW. The framework

is based on a review of international benchmarking and

performance indicators for the construction industry. A focus

group of industry experts provided guidance to the ci b in the

finalisation of indicators that encompass the specific objectives

of industry development in South Africa.

The summary results included in this report reflect selected

indicators measured for the 2001, 2002 and 2003 calendar

years. In 2001 the project based pilot measurement was based

on 250 returns from a mix of clients and contractors. In 2002

and 2003 the measurement was expanded to include the

consulting professions, with a total of 900 and 1 250 returns

received, respectively.

On the basis of the unfolding 2003 BEE strategy and

scorecard, a company-based pilot measurement was

undertaken to measure broad based black economic

empowerment in the contracting sector for the year 2003. Fifty

four firms were measured. The consulting professions were not

surveyed as a similar survey was being undertaken at the time

by SAACE.

The samples for the various measurements have been taken

from a cross-section of project or enterprise type and size, or

value. Except for the pilot BEE indicators, the 2003

measurement was based on a sample designed to provide at

least a confidence level of 90% and a reliability of 5%. Further

expansion of the sample is planned in order to increase the

confidence level and reliability of future measurements.

The indicators are expected to show improvement over

time. However, experience elsewhere has shown that as

performance improves, the expectation of participants also

grows in relation to some of the perception based indicators

such as defects and client satisfaction.

BEE ownership excludes the listed contracting

total turnover in South Africa.

The results of the BEE pilot survey need to be treated with

some caution, particularly those relating to procurement

which appear high. Future measurement will need to

ensure greater understanding and clarity in relation to the

survey questions.

Many factors contribute to time and cost

predictability, including the more ac-

cepted factors of inclement weather,

unexpected founding conditions, etc.

Poor pre-contract planning and “scope

creep”, late design, over-commitment

and poor implementation can be

attributed to industry performance. Late

interim payments by clients can also be

a factor.

Client satisfaction and the perception

of defects are subjective indicators

and the perception of performance

depends on the sophistication and

expectation of the client.

This year we fulfilled our undertaking to deliver a structural

review of the industry and its development.

ci b Status Report 2004 is a milestone product of

stakeholder collaboration that takes stock of the state of the

construction industry and its preparedness for key

development challenges facing our country. The report has

been tabled in parliament and at NEDLAC to inform the

Construction Summit planned by government, business and

labour.

The Status Report offers a comprehensive view of current

dynamics impacting on the creation of an enabling environment

for construction industry development. The report draws on the

views and insights of a wide range of stakeholders who engage

in the delivery process and affect the performance of

construction. The views were obtained through a survey of over

200 representatives of key sectors, including: investors, public

and private sector clients, the built environment consulting

professions, contractors and subcontractors, organised labour,

academics, materials manufacturers and suppliers.

The ci b project team included associate researchers of

CSIR Boutek, associate practitioners and academics.

Interpretation of trends and challenges also took account of

the June 2002 and November 2003 Stakeholder Forum

meetings. The views expressed in the survey were interpreted

against factual information, reports and research studies.

A “Strategic Group” of over twenty leading informants in

different sectors helped to shape the survey and its findings,

and provided insight on interpretation. Many people provided

valuable comment on draft documentation.

In finalising the report, ci b has provided a documentary

framework for future debate and engagement of the challenges

ahead, including a value proposition that supports sustainable

construction, the built environment needs of present and future

society and the development of the industry and its people.

Synthesis review of the SA construction industry

Status Report 2004 documents the role of the industry in

the context of South Africa's growth and transformation

agenda.

Based on surveys, stakeholder perceptions, studies and

factual data, it assesses the performance of the different

sectors that influence the construction delivery process

and the development of the industry. Crosscutting findings

are organised within the strategic framework of growth,

delivery performance, capacity and empowerment.

In this context the report highlights a range of

challenges and opportunities. It invites discussion by all

stakeholders and endeavours to plot a path into the future.

A central challenge lies in the dispersed nature of the

industry and its client base requiring a convergence of

stakeholder focus for improved performance with regard to

product, process and people issues.

The way forward offers a crystallized perspective of

actions and initiatives deemed necessary to advance

industry development from the platform created over the

past few years. It suggests measures to:

• boost delivery capability and skills

• engender a culture of respect for people and pride in the

industry

• deliver sustainable empowerment

• implement an improved regulatory and procurement

framework

• promote greater public and private sector partnership.

The way forward presents new and exciting challenges to ci b

and all stakeholders as we roll out the development framework

created jointly over the past year. We will continue to expand

partnership with clients and constructors in our quest to shape

an enabling environment for growth, performance and

sustainable empowerment.

Central to this transforming environment is the

Construction Registers Service rolling out nationwide into late

2005. Our joint progress further equips stakeholders with

procurement best practice, a Code of Conduct and a Toolkit

infrastructure delivery management system to drive consistent

procurement and improved delivery capacity. We will establish

benchmarks to measure progress.

Implementing the development framework is a collective

challenge for the year ahead.

Corporate Governance Report

CIDB Board

Board Members 2003 / 2004

The Board of the ci b has a mandate to approve the annual

financial statements and assure the auditors of their integrity

and reliability. The Board also reviews the entity's corporate

performance and its levels of responsibility, communication and

accountability as a public body. This responsibility

encompasses approval of strategic plans, the review and

monitoring of strategic deliverables, the determination of

internal control procedures, plus the appointment and

performance of the CEO.

The Board is appointed by the Minister of Public Works and

members are selected for their range of complementary

knowledge and skills, their public and private sector experience

and understanding, and their ability to provide collective

leadership for construction industry development in accordance

with the entity's founding legislation. The members of the ci b

Board serve a three year term as recommended by the enabling

legislation. To ensure continuity, the CIDB Act requires that at

least one third of the Board should be re-appointed to serve a

further term.

The Act requires the Board to meet at least four times per

annum. However, to ensure its strategic role, the Board has

scheduled monthly meetings and during the financial year in

review has held nine meetings, providing effective direction to

the operation of the entity. The Audit and Remuneration

The Remuneration Committee is comprised of 3 Board

members appointed by the Board, who are tasked with the

evaluation and review of human resource strategy and

operations. The CEO and the CFO attend meetings by invitation.

The committee's specific terms of reference include direct

authority for consideration of and recommendation to the Board

on matters relating to general staff policy, remuneration,

bonuses, executive remuneration and review of service

contracts and other benefits. The remuneration committee also

evaluated and approved staff salaries and performance

The Audit Committee is appointed by the board and is chaired

by an independent chartered accountant who is neither an

executive, nor a ci b Board member. The Committee further

includes 2 non-executive members and 2 board members.

Jeena Inc which has subsequently amalgamated with

Pricewaterhouse Coopers. The function is mandated by the

Audit Committee and advises the Committee and the CEO. The

internal audit unit measures and evaluates the effectiveness

and application of policies, procedures, systems and processes

designed to fulfill the requirements of the risk management

policy. It also measures general compliance with governance

External Audit

Risk Management

The external audit for the period ending March 2004 was

performed by a team from the Office of the Auditor General.

As the accounting authority, the Board of ci b is accountable for

the process of Risk Management and the system of internal

control. This review includes regular monitoring of the risk

management policy and its effectiveness, together with the

control policies of the organisation.

A comprehensive risk management process was once more

undertaken during the course of the year to effectively identify

and re-assess risk, thereby enabling management to adopt a

proactive stance to risk management and potential failures in

controls, systems and the achievement of strategic objectives.

To this effect each business unit developed its own risk

profile and these were consolidated and reviewed by

independent risk management experts. The involvement of

each business unit results in an overall culture of risk awareness

enabling management to identify and take action in terms of

risks related to both governance and delivery.

The yearly risk assessments are reviewed by the Audit

Committee. A comprehensive risk assessment was undertaken

on the contractors register system during the period under

review and tabled at the Audit Committee meeting of 3rd

February 2004.

d

Materiality Framework

Executive Leadership Team

Related to the management of risk is the development of the

Materiality Framework, as defined by Treasury Regulations and

the PFMA. This framework defines the varying levels of

significance of any wasted resources whether through criminal

behaviour, negligence or fruitless expenditure. This develop-

ment of the Materiality Framework forms part of the ci b's

ongoing commitment to corporate governance. In accordance

with the PFMA, the Materiality Framework was submitted by

the Board for approval by the Minister of Public Works.

This internal team consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the

Chief Financial Officer and three programme managers. The

team ensures that ci b business outputs are strategically

aligned to enterprise objectives, and that measures are in place

to assess outcomes and performance. It reviews and makes

recommendations on business unit strategy and delivery, and

monitors budget expenditure.

The Leadership Team also reviews the human resource

policies and procedures of the entity. These include the plans

for human resource equity, personal staff development and

capacity building. The team provides leadership in promoting

the values, commitment and ethics that underpin the

organisation's mandate.

Health, Safety and the Environment

Disaster Management

Human Capital

ci b believes in the principles of good conduct, honesty and

transparency. To this effect, it has adopted the following core

values that guide the behaviour and belief system of the

organization and to which the staff have committed:

• To behave equitably, honestly and transparently

• To discharge duties and obligations timeously and with

integrity

• To comply with all applicable legislation and associated

regulations

• To avoid conflicts of interest

• To not maliciously or recklessly injure or attempt to injure

the reputation of another party

These principles are discussed and reinforced at each

individual's performance review.

The ci b is committed to ensure that employees work in a safe,

healthy and clean environment. The company's activities at

present have no adverse effect on the environment. Any activity

that may do so would be accompanied by a risk management

plan to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and

legislation. The ci b is aware of the importance of continuing

good environmental corporate governance. In the

endeavoured to implement the principles of sustainable

construction through the reuse of materials, installation of

water saving toilets and an energy efficient cooling system.

In respect to HIV/Aids all employees have access to

awareness materials and precautionary medical advice upon

request. The ci b HIV/Aids Specification on the website

provides guidelines for best practices in awareness and

information services, accessible to the construction industry

and all interested parties.

The ci b is aware of the importance of managing accidents in

the workplace, and of external risk management regarding fire,

flood or personal injury. In the comming year, it will develop an

appropriate policy in this regard.

Report of the Auditor-General

A U D I T O R - G E N E R A L

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR-GENERAL TO PARLIAMENT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2004

1 AUDIT ASSIGNMENT

The financial statements as set out on pages 29 to 36, for the year ended 31 March 2004, have been audited in terms of section 188 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 108 of 1996), read with sections 3 and 5 of the Auditor-General Act, 1995 (Act No. 12 of 1995). These financial statements, the maintenance of effective control measures and compliance with relevant laws and regulations are the responsibility of the chief executive officer. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, based on the audit.

2 NATURE AND SCOPE

The audit was conducted in accordance with Statements of South African Auditing Standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit includes:

examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and

evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Furthermore, an audit includes an examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting compliance in all material respects with the relevant laws and regulations which came to my attention and are applicable to financial matters.

I believe that the audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

3 AUDIT OPINION

In my opinion, the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) at 31 March 2004 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then

ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice and in the manner required by the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 1 of 1999).

4. APPRECIATION

The assistance rendered by the staff of the CIDB during the audit is sincerely appreciated.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis and incorporate the following principal accounting

policies, that have been applied on a basis consistent with the prior period.

These financial statements comply with generally accepted accounting practice.

1.1 Property, plant and equipment

Assets costing less than R2 000 are written off in the year of acquisition.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a

straight-line basis at rates considered appropriate to reduce the cost of the assets over their estimated useful

lives.

The depreciation rates are as follows:

Computer equipment 33.33%

Office equipment 20%

Furniture and fittings 20%

Books 33.33%

1.2 Cash and cash equivalents

This figure includes monies held in call accounts as well as cash in the bank and cash on hand.

31 ci b - development through partnershipd

Page 35: development through partnership - cidb Home Report 2003-2004.pdf · development through partnership cidb ci b is constituted to lead construction industry development in South Africa

1.3 Revenue

Revenue comprises of funds transferred from Department of Public Works.

1.4 Expenditure

All amounts are recorded exclusive of value-added tax (VAT).

1.5 Financial instruments

Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, receivables and payables.

Measurement

Financial instruments initially measured at cost.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured as set out below:

• Accounts receivable are stated at cost

• Cash and cash equivalents measured at cost plus interest income as it accrues

• Financial liabilities recognised at cost namely original debt less principal payments

Credit Risk - where one party to a financial instrument fails to discharge an obligation and cause the other party

to incur a financial loss.

Interest rate risk - where the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates.

Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities - not recognised as a legally enforceable right, and will not be settled

on a net basis nor will the asset be realised or the liability settled simultaneously.

Gains and losses that arise from a change in the fair value of financial instruments are included in the income

statement in the period in which it arises.

1.6 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the CIDB has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past

events; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the

obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are reviewed at

each statement of financial position date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
