Minister Wimal Weerawansa said that the Ministry is ready to supervise
the quality standards of the construction of housing schemes which are
built by the private companies. He was addressing the inauguration of
construction work of the Harithapurawara housing scheme at Horana on
Monday. The Minister also pointed out that many people have doubt about
the construction of the housing schemes which are constructed by private
companies and this decision will help to gain the people's confidence,
he said.
A special certificate for quality of these houses can be issued by
the Condominium Management Authority under the Ministry. The
Harithapurawara housing scheme will be built as a model village under
the supervision of the Condominium Management Authority.
Around 830 houses will be built in this village and a house would
cost Rs 985,000. The Minister had given instructions to the relevant
officials to complete the housing scheme and vest it with the public
within a one year.
Registration of the house owners commenced on this day.
