The Government and the National Construction Authority (NCA) have rolled out nationwide stakeholder sensitisation programmes of the National Building Code 2024, a groundbreaking framework set to revolutionize the construction industry.
Published as Legal Notice No. 47 on March 1, 2024, this code replaces the outdated 1968 Local Government (Adoptive By-Laws) Order, bringing modern standards to building design, construction, and maintenance.
Nearly six decades after the 1968 Building Code, we stand at the threshold of transformative change with the new Building Code, which will come into effect this year on March 1.
Principal Secretary for Public Works Joel Arumonyang stated that these sensitisation programmes are designed to empower professionals, contractors, and the public with the knowledge required to implement the code effectively, focusing on stakeholder engagement and compliance.
