MahaRERA edicts to appoint only skilled labours for quality construction.

MahaRERA will now allow only skilled workers at construction sites to ensure quality construction and prevent accidents. The workers will also benefit from insurance coverage for their family members.

The MahaRERA has already started to recruit employers’ organizations and also ensuring that the workers do not lose their wages for the day. “The process of training and ensuring that trained staff is carried out sooner than expected, as the vast number of organizations are now joining the MahaRERA as self-regulatory organizations,” said D R Hadadare, chief technical officer of MahaRERA.

Hadadre attended a one-day workshop in Nashik for architects, engineers, chartered accounts and others arranged by the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDC).

MahaRERA has already declared that every construction operation conducted shall be registered with the authority from 1 December onwards and must send a quarterly report. The report must be kept and published in a described manner, and if this is not done, it will incur fines which could amount to 5% of the cost of the project.

For each development project, registration is mandatory. MahaRERA has appointed four self-regulatory bodies NAREDCO, Builders Association of India, Credai and Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (MCHI) to help builders, developers and architects find their way through the process,” said the officer.

Such SROs would also allow the members major projects or even minor to learn and understand the rules, all advantages and disadvantages that don’t stick to the deadlines and even help them raise issues if any with the MahaRERA and get them resolved.

MahaRERA and Avinash Shirode formed a conciliatory committee. The Nashik members are Rajan Daryani and Mohan Ranade.
