PICS: Shoddy work stalls Blue Downs development, resulting in criminal cases
Already construction on one housing project in The Conifers, Blue Downs, was halted after residents alerted the National Home Builders Registration Council to several defects in the construction of the infill houses.
“This was an opportunity to show the council members what we are doing; the council oversees the work that we do,” said NHBRC chief executive Mziwonke Dlabantu. “Of course there will be one or two things that have to be rectified but the NHBRC has the ability to make sure that things are rectified. The projects that we have seen are very different because the challenge of housing in the country is very big, especially in the Western Cape,” said Dlabantu.
“The NHBRC will continue to ensure that building standards are upheld and consumers are protected from poorly constructed buildings through its stringent requirements and regular inspections of all NHBRC-registered home building projects,” said Dlabantu.
