In the last two years, the authorities have been mandating all government projects to obtain concrete from certified plants.
It is a good move from the authorities in ensuring rules and regulations are in place.
However, it has posed a challenge for suppliers and contractors. This is on top of licensing and land issues. For a long while now, the majority of suppliers have not been given proper certification due to the ongoing land lease issues. With the new rule, it has created a supply bottleneck, keeping contractors from doing their job. When delays happen, the blame inevitably falls on the contractors.
Ultimately, our goal is to support development in the country. As such, I would like to call on the authorities to resolve the ongoing issues, maybe even simplify the process, to allow the construction industry to thrive.
