The answer is no. An upgrade application can be sought by a contractor who in their estimation is qualified for a higher category in a given class of works. The contractor should be able to show verifiable signs of growth in, but not limited to the following areas; An increase in professional experience in the industry, An increase in equipment and assets owned by the firm, Positive financials-increased turnover and cash at hand. Contractors should note the following: An upgrade application can only be sought after a renewal application has been successfully submitted and a valid practicing license awarded in that financial year. That the final approval decision for the upgrade awardment solely rests with the Authority. A contractor with good reason can also request to downgrade the category in which they currently operate in.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][tm_heading custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221;]Quick Links[\/tm_heading][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:10&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:10&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:10&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:10&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:10&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2620"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5099,"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2620\/revisions\/5099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.xtranet.co.ke\/newbackup2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
