Deputy Minister to open construction and built environment forum

Public Works and Infrastructure Deputy Minister Sihle Zikalala will open the Construction and Built Environment Stakeholder Forum and Expo in Pretoria, on Tuesday.

The forum is expected to explore the adoption of new technology in order to keep the industry competitive and adaptive to the climate changes.

This as the country grapples with issues of safety at construction sites and the risks posed by adverse weather conditions on properties, humans and building systems in the country.

Innovative ways of construction and building are required to save lives and improve the building and construction sector.

The theme for the forum is: “Building Stronger Partnership for Sustainable Innovation”.

The Building and Construction Expo which focuses on technology is convened by Agrement South Africa (ASA), an entity of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure.

ASA was established to be the leading regulator of non-standardised construction products and systems in South Africa. 

The forum and expo which will feature construction and built environment professionals and associations will provide a platform for stakeholders to share insights, challenges and opportunities in the adoption of innovative building technologies for the competitiveness and safety of the industry.
