CMA Membership Criteria

Membership Categories

There are five membership categories: producer; non producer; associate; contractor; and cement producers. For CMA membership purposes, precast concrete is defined as a concrete product cast in a re-usable mould or form, cured in a controlled environment, transported to site and lifted into position.  Membership is open to any precast concrete manufacturer, provided certain quality-based criteria are met.

CMA Membership Fees

A uniform system of applying fees common to all members has been devised in order to eliminate confusion. Fees are based on whether companies fit into one or both building and infrastructure pillars and whether they have one or more manufacturing outlets. If a manufacturer’s products fall within one pillar then the fee is based on one pillar only. If the product range spans both pillars then a supplementary amount is charged. Supplementary fees are also charged for every additional manufacturing outlet.

 

 

Producer Members:

Producer Membership Fees for 2023 are structured as follow:

R1 980 per pillar per month excluding VAT plus R1 540 per additional manufacturing outlet per month excluding VAT. All paid-up members have voting rights. 

Example 1:  Suppose a roof tile manufacturer produces from one factory, the fee payable would be R1 980 per month plus VAT and the company would be classified as a Precast Building member. 
Example 2:  The fee for a paving-block manufacturer operating from two locations would be R3 520 per month plus VAT, and it would be classified as a Precast Infrastructure member. (R1 980 for the pillar and R1 540 for the additional outlet). 
Example 3:   The fee for a business manufacturing lintels and pipes from one location would be R3 960 per month plus VAT, and the company would be classified as both a Precast Building and Precast Infrastructure member. 

Example 4:  Where both roof tiles and paving are manufactured from three locations, the fee payable would be R7 000 per month plus VAT, and the company would be both Precast Building and Precast Infrastructure member. (R1 980 X 2 for both pillars and R1 540 X 2 for the two additional outlets)

Membership is granted on the basis of the following:

  • A quality assurance system is in place
