In order to practice the Building and Civil Engineering Contractorsโ€™ profession in the Republic of Cyprus, one needs to register at the Contractorโ€™s Register and obtain an annual license by the Council for the Registration and Control of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors.

The term โ€œcontractorโ€ refers to an individual, or body corporate, who by profession undertakes to execute or executes a building or civil engineering project(including the commissioning of labor only) against a specified sum or percentage remuneration or against any other lawful consideration except for a salary or for his own exploit or for any other use or purpose.

Specifically, the โ€œcivil engineering projectโ€ refers to the erection or construction, or extension, or alteration, or repair of any work, which technically belongs to the field of civil engineering and which is not a building project, and includes roadworkโ€™s, the construction of bridges, tunnels, dams, drains, harbor works, airports, sewers, drainage, water and irrigation works, beach protection works, quarrying and mining works but does not include fencing and retaining wall constructions of a height not exceeding 150 cm, the digging out of ditches of up to 80 cm in depth and the laying out of pipes of less than 10 cm in diameter unless the Council deems that it is a civil engineering project of a specific class on account of the projectโ€™s nature and special features.

The Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ฮ•ฮคฮ•ฮš or CCEAA) is the statutory Technical Advisor to the State and is the umbrella organization for all Cypriot Engineers. It is the official body in Cyprus that represents all qualified professional Architects and Civil Engineers, among others.
