THE Zimbabwe Building Contractors Association (ZBCA) which recently opened a Matabeleland regional office says its members stand ready to contribute towards infrastructural projects in the country.

The regional office seek to increase representation of its members. ZBCA is a non-profit making organisation established in 1985 with a mandate to represent emergent building contractors in the categories of building construction and civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and structural steel engineering. The association registers supplier and service providers as association members.

It’s purpose is to ensure that members uphold the highest standards of workmanship in the construction business.

In an interview during the official launch of the Matabeleland region offices in Bulawayo last week, ZBCA president Mr Petros Kagwere said the opening of the office is a milestone to ZBCA as it goes in line with President Mnangagwa’s agenda of leaving no one and no place behind.

Robust infrastructure development is at the heart of the Second Republic’s economic transformation agenda in line with the country’s vision to achieve an upper middle-income status by 2030.

He said the association seeks to have a strong and visible footprint in the southern region. Added to that, Mr Kagwere said the construction industry is experiencing growth under the Second Republic. To that end, the association is ready to have an input in infrastructure development in the country.

“The construction industry is doing very well especially that the Government has taken a new dimension in building the country and as ZBCA we have taken advantage of the Government support where we are saying let’s take part as an association,” he said.

“The launch of this office is a milestone to the association and the construction industry at large. We have got a service buy-in to the new trajectory where we are saying we want to put a footprint across the southern region because we did that in other regions.

“In the southern region we are seeing enormous activities in infrastructure development,” he said.

ZBCA provides mentorship and grooming of construction players including women and youths so that they become eligible to participate in Government tenders.
