The Quarm-LMI Consortium, the government-appointed developer tasked with completing the long-delayed Saglemi Housing Project, has committed to finishing over 1,500 housing units within 400 days for sale to the public.
Kofi Adabor Ofori-Amanfo, the Managing Director of the consortium, announced that structural integrity tests will be conducted on the existing buildings to assess their stability.
During a media interview following a courtesy call on the Ningo Traditional Council, Mr. Ofori-Amanfo explained that re-engineering work will be carried out on certain parts of the structures to ensure they meet high safety and quality standards.
The Saglemi Housing Project, initially intended to address Ghana’s housing deficit, has faced numerous delays and controversies over the years.
“Tentatively, we are looking at around 400 days to make sure that the whole place is completed for sale to people. Currently, we inherited the shell structures. And some of them will go through structural integrity tests to make sure that we are not going to sell back to society, something that might just break within time.
“You know, this development has been left for more than seven years. A lot of them have gone through bad weather conditions. Some areas had some flooding that is prone to the environment there. So we need to do a lot of re-engineering over there.”
