The media has been challenged to expose substandard works executed by contractors in order to help streamline the construction industry. Deputy Managing Director of Berock Ventures Ltd, a civil engineering and general building construction firm, Mr Courage Dogbegah, who made the call, said quality work must not be compromised and urged all stakeholders including the media to be part of the agenda to bring excellence into the construction sector. Mr Dogbegah, who was speaking at the end of year durbar of Berock Ventures, said it was imperative that every contractor pursued excellence. He challenged the media to praise contractors who do good jobs and name those who failed to meet the required standard. Berock has handled a number of projects awarded by the Millennium Development Authority, government and other major clients. He said the company was positioning itself to take advantage of government’s agenda to embark on massive infrastructure next year and urged government to see local construction firms as partners in the development of the country’s infrastructure. Mr Dogbegah said the company will be very visible in Ghana and other countries in 2012. The company did not compete for the maiden National Building and Civil Contractors Excellence Awards, because the current Managing Director Rockson Dogbegah, was the main architect of the awards and felt there could be conflict of interest. However the company had indicated its desire to compete for the awards in 2012. Staff of the construction firm was honoured for their outstanding performance and challenged them to continue working towards the growth of the company and the construction industry in general. The Chairman and founder of Berock, Rockson Dogbegah who also chairs the Technical Committee of the Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors of Ghana, asked the workers to be ambassadors of excellence.
