and Building Control Regulations 2019. The regulations passed by the State’s House of Assembly at the twilight of last year, were expected to sanitise the building sector and encourage sustainable development in Lagos metropolis.
Furthermore, any developer wishing to commence building construction work shall submit some documents together with the notice to LASBCA.
The regulation also allowed the Agency to periodically probe all building developments within the State to identify defective and distressed structures. Any person who carries out construction to a particular stage without obtaining stage certificate for the preceding stage contravenes the provisions of Regulation 8 and commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding N250, 000 or one month of community service or both.
According to him, it is heartwarming that the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development is able to push through the Regulations this time around.“As professional groups we clamoured for its release for almost nine years. The Regulations are the tools for implementing the 2010 Law. “The delay in getting the two regulations signed has slowed down the practice of physical planning , particularly that of Development Control and Building Quality Management .
Also, president Nigerian Institute of Builders , Kunle Awobodu said all parts of the regulations are important and could instill discipline in the construction industry and drive conformity with building codes that guide the practice. According to him, the regulations touched different aspect of building construction and should help to reduce the impact of quackery in the industry.
The fines are more now and they should serve as deterrent. “I wait to see how the new laws will be enforced without causing serious delays and unnecessary bottlenecks for project take off. “I fear issues of ease of doing business for developers.
