National Building Code

I know nothing about building and frankly the photos of stratified rock and soil has me just as dumbfounded. I always had difficulty looking at a two dimensional plan of a house, so I think I would have great difficulty assessing whether good standards are being maintained. Shouldn’t we hold builders liable for these failures by legal ordinances and check them through the Town and Country Planning Committee? And should theses law be maintained in the interest of society and each individual.

No standards, that’s what troubles me

And yet there is a Town and Country Planning Committee

This Committee should ensure that we build

In keeping with guidelines and standards fulfilled

One has to wait so long to get

Notarized by them and yet

A building can have sub-standard design

Liability should fall on the authority we assign

Builders should be monitored by one committee

Useless to leave standard checks for you and me

I should be able to build with unfeigned confidence

Let the professionals answer to their imprudence

Designer, engineers and the rest of these

I think should be checked by their own committees

No one should practice contracting unless we can expect

Good standards will be maintained in the work we’ll get

Code of ethics should become a part of what they do

Overlook them and they should be fined and suspended too

Doctors are monitored by their oath and so we trust

Even when we’re in doubt, that they are doing as they must

    Why can't there be a site where persons offer real evidence against the names of builder who gave bad work. This interim measure would perhaps protect many persons who right now enter into arrangements or contracts such type builders. It would also put some constraint on other builders.
