These construction works need proper monitoring

Dec 16, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is disturbing to see the poor quality construction works that are being practiced in Guyana, especially Building estimates, house plans and site supervisions. I have over 30 years of practical experience in drawing house plans, preparing estimates, supervising construction works in Guyana.
I am a member of two professional organisations, the Quantity Surveyors International and Building Official.
At present, Guyanese are faced with lots of problems in the construction industry; people are complaining daily of this situation, such as poor quality house plans, estimates, no proper site supervision of works on sites.
We as Guyanese needs to look carefully, ensure proper Building laws are enforced in the country. There are tall buildings-five, six, seven and eight stories high-being constructed in the country. I do hope that the authorities are monitoring them, especially for proper foundation and structural designs. They may be dangerous to the lives of people.
My recommendation is that the government and private sector must work together and put in place committees, including professional persons and stakeholders to monitor the entire situation, for the benefit of all Guyanese.
