Lafarge Zambia has officially launched a new Home Builder Center in Lusaka,
offering all the services a prospective home owner needs to see their project
through from planning to completion.
Speaking at the launch today 19 July 2017, at Twin Palm
Mall, the Lafarge Zambia Acting Chief Executive Officer Mrs. Chrissie Moloseni said
that the Center is aimed at stimulating housing construction that tackles the
problem of unplanned settlements in the country.
“To help tackle the problems of unplanned settlements and to be
able to build better houses that are affordable, Lafarge Zambia is
launching the Home Builder Centre which will offer an integrated solution
for anyone wishing to build a home. The center will offer everything a
prospective home owner needs to see their project through from planning to
completion at an affordable price,” she said.
She
further said Lafarge will work with consultants to provide customers with
architectural services, material and structural estimates, as well as share
construction best practices along with a host of on-site and off- site
services.
Mrs
Moloseni also said the center is not only meant to serve local Zambians at home
but even our brothers and sisters in the Diaspora who are looking for a trusted
partner to assist them with construction activities in Zambia.
The
area counselor of Ward 29 Mrs Dorcus Moyo Bwalya who graced the event said she
was very happy to see Lafarge Zambia complimenting Local Government’s efforts
to ensure that citizens have access to services which will help them plan and
build modern infrastructures in accordance to the Local government
requirements.
“The
national statistics on housing and urbanisation are clear for all to see. We
need to build more houses every year to cover the deficit but to achieve
this we need well-planned and managed residential areas and towns as
we aspire to have cities comparable to those in developed countries”,
she said.
Mrs
Bwalya further said that Governments remains committed to infrastructure
development and stands open to supporting the private sector in playing its
part in this process of reducing and having well planned infrastructures.
The
Lafarge Home Builders Center is situated at Twin Palms Mall, Plot 6310, Salama
Park, Lusaka.
