GPF, CBE to collaborate on transforming the construction sector
Provincial human settlements fund the Gauteng Partnership Fund (GPF) and construction industry regulatory body the Council for the Built Environment (CBE) have signed a memorandum of understanding committing to driving transformation and promoting professional practice standards through the involvement of professionally registered persons, structured candidacy training and mentorship development.
To achieve the objectives, the entities will collaborate to transform the built environment through research and innovative alternative building products, with a dedicated focus on interventions aimed at supporting women, the youth and persons with disabilities.
The built environment is not only about processes, but about inspired projects that uplift the quality of life of users, says CBE CEO Msizi Myeza.
The GPF recognises the importance of having built environment professionals within its domain, adds GPF CEO Lindiwe Kwele.
“This collaborative partnership couldn’t have come at a better time, as the GPF commemorates its 20 years of existence. We’ve taken stock of our socioeconomic contribution to our province and whether we’ve meaningfully contributed to spatial transformation and sustainability.
“Through our review process and, with the support of CBE’s research capabilities, we’ll be exploring innovative ways of doing our business including alternative built technologies that could be adopted by our sector,” Kwele says.
Further, the two organisations have agreed to pilot a virtual academy on the GPF pipeline projects as part of developing the next generation of built environment professionals.
