Posted on : Thursday, 28th September 2017
The National Building Inspectorate (NBI) has given the green light to developers to resume the construction a Nairobi building. The 17 storey building was set for demolition until recently, and this latest news will come as music to the ears of investors.
The project was stopped back in December 2016 due to a series of issues regarding non-compliance with the NCA and the Nairobi City County Government (NCCG).
The issues with the building ranged from the lack of a competent supervision team, non existence of a fire exit or even a staircase, also the inferior quality of materials compounded their the developer’s problems with government agencies.
The go-ahead for the completion of the building was given after a structural audit report to rectify its issues. The developers had to hire independent consultants to audit the materials and other several critical aspects, in a bid to convince authorities.
Registrations of the contractor and the project has to be submitted to the NCA is due course. Even, safety measures such as scaffoldings and PPE (protective personal equipment) are required for accreditation.
Construction is set to resume as soon a s all the required paper work is filed with the NCA and the NCCG.
