The exciting change is explained further in the news section of this issue and we hope you enjoy the new format .
This issue has our usual contributors who continue to add huge value in this fast-growing market if this country is to deliver housing to all .
The Banking Association , in collaboration with the Dept of Human Settlements , provides some insight into lending and the expanding of the lending programme .
“ Clearly SANS 10400 plays a huge part in this aspect .”
CESA highlights the poor management and co-ordination by local government . An issue expressed at different times by most of our contributors .
CAHF reveals one real aspect of the Khayelitsha Transaction Support Centre / 71Point 4 study recently completed about
‘ dead capital ’ referring to registered title deeds numbering 7 580 who are deceased !
STBB looks into the concept ( tried and tested in many countries ) of inclusionary housing and the legal position .
Our project is the Rehoboth Properties / Gauteng Partnership Fund rental project which was recently opened . The speech by the MEC for Human Settlements is most encouraging .
Our features are on materials , one being cement and concrete / bricks and mortar where some good advice is provided . Clearly SANS 10400 plays a huge part in this aspect . Also , selecting the right paint is critical not only for long life but also for maintenance .
Finally , the Energy Efficiency SANS 10400XA is discussed and reinforces the 50 % alternative energy that is compulsory in new buildings .
