The second State-level conference of CREDAI-Karnataka will be held in Mangalore on August 25.
Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, Mr P.M.A. Razak, President of CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India), Mangalore chapter, said the event would focus on the theme ‘Homes for all’.
CREDAI was keen to provide the common man affordable housing based on the green housing concept in accordance with Government policies. The rising cost of building materials had led to escalation in apartment costs across the country. In such a situation, CREDAI was exploring ways to reduce cost without sacrificing the quality of apartments, he said.
The meet would have panel discussions on affordable housing and ECBC (Environmental Conservation Building Code) norms, among others. It would also discuss skill development in the construction sector. “There is a need to convert unskilled labour into skilled labour and to improve efficiency in the construction sector,” he said.
Given the undue delay in clearance of many projects, he said the conference would focus on the issue of single-window clearance.
Mr Razak said builders from Karnataka and the neighbouring States were expected to attend the convention.
Mr Jagadish Shettar, Chief Minister of Karnataka, would inaugurate the convention on August 25, he said.
