Chairperson, what would guarantee quality housing units is ensuring that projects are monitored across the project cycle, right from the ground level.
The problems we experience are that projects, in some instances, get monitored after houses have been built. There should be continuous monitoring and evaluation of the projects so that the National Home Builders Registration Council, NHBRC, is on board from the outset. This would ensure that we have quality housing units.
So, we need to revamp our monitoring mechanisms and evaluation systems, especially as far as the inspectorate is concerned. We must also ensure that we have quality material. Shoddy work comes as a result of bad material that people use for building houses.
