NCA is empowered by law to register all foreign contractors seeking to undertake construction works in this country.

Foreign contractors should note that they are required to seek registration with the National Construction Authority after issuance of an award letter and before signing the contract and should only undertake construction works or projects with a value limit of category NCA 1.

Therefore, the registration certificate and practicing license issued is specific to the contract being undertaken.

Foreign contractors are also required to attend at least one continuous professional development (CPD) training in each financial year and be awarded 10 CPD points.

They will however make a renewal application based on the date they downloaded their license and certificate.

It should also be noted that in the event that the project duration initially indicated has expired but the project is still ongoing, the foreign firm(s) is required to seek a project extension through their contractor portal.
