Rush Lanka Group has officially obtained the CIDA LB1 Grade – Property Developer certification, the highest level of recognition awarded for construction excellence in Sri Lanka.

Last year, the company held the LB4 Grade, and within a short period, it progressed to the LB1 Grade this year. This is an important milestone that shows the company’s continuous growth, strong performance, and commitment to excellence. It highlights the collective effort of the Rush Lanka team and the trust given by clients, partners, and stakeholders.

The Construction Industry Development Authority (CIDA) awards this certification to recognize the capability, reliability, and performance of property developers who meet strict national construction standards. Achieving LB1 status places Rush Lanka Group among the most qualified developers in the country and strengthens the company’s ability to take on ambitious, high-value projects.

According to CIDA, LB1-certified developers receive several advantages. The certification increases credibility and trust among buyers, investors, and financial institutions by showing that the developer follows strong quality and safety standards. It also creates a competitive edge, separating developers with proven expertise and strong operational systems from others in the market.

With this grading, developers can manage larger and more complex projects, including mixed-use and large-scale developments that require advanced technical skills and strong financial stability. Access to financing also improves, as banks and lenders prefer to work with companies that show a solid track record and reliable credentials.

 From a regulatory perspective, the LB1 Grade reflects compliance with national construction standards under the CIDA framework, which can streamline dealings with approvals, permits, and 

local authorities. For clients and property buyers, it offers assurance of quality, safety, and reliability, factors that build confidence and reduce uncertainty in real estate investment.

Regarding the company’s approach, Mr. Sabeer Iqbal, Managing Director of Rush Lanka Group, shares:
“At Rush Lanka Group, we never cut corners. Marketing may attract clients, but it is the successful completion of every project and the credibility of our documentation that truly reassure them. All our certificates are available on our official website, reflecting our commitment to transparency. Over the years, satisfied homeowners have become our strongest ambassadors. Even internationally, clients choose us because we deliver on time, maintain transparency in pricing, and provide clear, reliable project details. These principles continue to set Rush Lanka apart in the industry.”

Earning the CIDA LB1 Grade underscores Rush Lanka Group’s expertise, reliability, and steadfast commitment to excellence, qualities recognized throughout Sri Lanka. With over 30 years of experience in delivering premium developments, the company ensures buyers’ confidence, peace of mind, and enduring value in every project.
