Poised to address incessant construction failures, Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has stressed the need for quality building materials and obtaining necessary approvals before commencement of construction works.

The agency made the call at the end of a two-day stakeholders’ forum at Ikeja, where LASBCA engaged members of various artisan groups and building developers on building construction and building collapse, members of various artisans groups pledged to work hand-in-hand with the agency to restore sanity to the built sector.

According to him, the role played by bricklayers, carpenters and iron benders in building construction are very key and cannot be taken with levity. He added that once they fail to get the quality materials needed for construction works, building collapse becomes inevitable. He said building materials need to be tested from the foundation level to finish stage to prevent building collapse, urging artisans to always place premium on human lives above money.

He said all hands must be on deck to support the government’s dreams of ensuring safe and accessible homes for the residents. “LASBCA officials should not be held responsible for collapse since they only spend a few hours on such site for monitoring and inspection only, rather, the site supervisors, if there is any should be held responsible,” he said.
