Construction Integrity Alert #1 – Avoiding Pitfalls of Substandard Materials (8/3/2024)
A construction project involves the use of over a thousand types of materials and components, which should comply with the contractual requirements and specifications (e.g. structural strength, durability). Some non-critical materials are subject to minimal control which may create room for abuse by unscrupulous contractors/subcontractors/suppliers, e.g. using substandard/non-conforming materials without being detected. Project clients and their consultants/contractors should put in place adequate corruption prevention measures when undertaking construction projects.
The Corruption Prevention Advisory Service (CPAS) of the ICAC has recently issued the “Construction Integrity Alert #1 – Avoiding Pitfalls of Substandard Materials” covering integrity risks and recommended mitigating measures in respect of quality control of construction materials.
