Lack of technical skills hurting construction industry –Expert

It is often assumed that architects are for the elite. Is that why we are having increased building collapses?

The professionals will do the right things to make the building stand. In the building process, there are a lot of other professionals who are also involved in putting it together: Architects, structural, mechanical, electrical engineers, builders, and one or two other professionals. Their inputs are necessary for making sure the building is properly built and free of defects.

We have lots of people parading themselves as degree holders who cannot be useful to society. To solve this, we have to ensure that relevant agencies saddled with training and certifying artisans live up to their billing and make sure the government encourages technical education so that everyone who engages in building activity has undergone the requisite level of training and is able to carry out his duties professionally.
