Frequently asked
Does it generate the safety file?
It generates the safety file index, the S37 mandatory agreement template, the Reg 5 notice and the sub-contractor letter-of-good-standing register. You attach your method statements and risk assessments.
Multi-site?
Yes — head office plus every active project, each scored separately. The portfolio view shows your weakest site first.
Sub-contractors?
The sub-contractor register tracks each sub's CIDB grading, COIDA letter, PSiRA (if applicable), B-BBEE and tax pin with expiry reminders.
Does it submit CIDB renewals?
No — CIDB requires you to lodge via their portal. TefCo gives you the deadline, the fee, the document checklist and the evidence pack to attach.
What about NHBRC?
NHBRC enrolment is a checklist item inside the Construction engine; the actual enrolment per home goes through the NHBRC portal.
