The National Home Builders Registration Council on Thursday warned that builders who continue erecting sub-standard homes will be fined R25,000 per offence or be jailed.
Homebuilders gathered in Cape Town in order to tackle challenges facing the sector and the NHBRC said improving the quality of both the public and private-funded homes remains a top priority.
The council issued a stern warning to home builders to refrain from producing sub-standard work.
It said while it’s been able to solve some disputes it wants consumers to know the track record of their builders. This includes checking that the builder is registered with the NHBRC and adheres to its regulations.
The council’s Portia Mabunda said builders who fail to comply will be forced to rebuild the house at their own expense and can also be jailed.
