The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) is this week set to wrap up remedial works on turn-key homes that were provided by the former government to homeowners at Perseverance, East Bank Demerara.
During a media tour to the Perseverance Housing Development on Monday, CH&PA Project Manager Kennard Dazzel said that millions of dollars were spent to fix major and minor defects to turn-key homes that were constructed by the former government. According to Dazzel, the remedial works, which started last year September, are expected to be completed at the end of the week.
Dazzel noted that some of the defects included cracks in buildings, plumbing problems and ceiling issues, which all had to be fixed. He said that home owners who have since moved out of the defective homes have slowly started to return since the CH&PA started the repairs. “The level of occupancy has been rising every day. We have two, three persons moving in so, again over the next few weeks I would like to see the area populated with persons coming back,” he said.
