The Herald Online **News** THOUSANDS of defective government-built houses in the Eastern Cape are to be fixed. The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) is calling for expressions of interest from suitably qualified companies to rectify all houses in the Eastern Cape with structural defects and not suitable for human habitation. A total of 11 531 houses have been identified throughout the province for rectification. Municipalities where these houses have been identified are Nelson Mandela Bay, Ukhahlamba, Chris Hani, Amathole, Buffalo City, Alfred Nzo, O R Tambo and Cacadu. In a programme called “Rectification of Houses”, Housing Minister Lindiwe Sisulu in 2005 requested the provincial housing department to ensure that these houses met the NHBRC‘s technical requirements. “It is against this background that the Eastern Cape provincial housing department, in collaboration with the NHBRC, hereby invites developers and contractors to a briefing session for consideration to pa

Business Report - Mass housing ready to hit boom times

Business Report - Mass housing ready to hit boom times Pretoria - Despite billions being pumped into the construction of low-cost housing, the backlog persists at close to 2 million units, says Industry Insight, the construction industry information supplier.However, there has been an improvement in the percentage of people living in informal dwellings, according to the firm's fourth-quarter report on the state of the South African construction industry.It says the policies applied so far have not helped the broad mass of people.

The Herald Online **News** THE provincial housing department is now calling on outside housing delivery stakeholders to come in and assist in a new housing delivery turnaround strategy. Some of the key issues are the retraining of emerging contractors, the development of a policy on these contractors, demand and supply management and the registering of housing delivery associations with the department, the National Housing Building Research Council and the Construction Industry Development Board. These measures are intended to improve housing delivery and product quality. With a total of 484 provincial housing projects, of which only 209 are completed, and 108 others blocked, the provincial housing department faces a mammoth task.
