On one occasion in my country there was a landslide, at that time the government ordered the construction of several houses and buildings in different sectors. With the buildings ready, the sectors surrounding the landslide were evacuated and all the people were relocated to new and safe houses. All the houses were demolished and the construction of new houses in the sector was prohibited due to its high risk. In your country, the government can build new buildings and move people at risk to new homes.

This is a very rampant issue as buildings collapse every now and then in Nigeria, substandard houses can be avoided by using quality building materials, always employ the services of a qualified and registered civil engineer, and involve the proper government agencies.

There was a village in the adjacent town that was built on the mountainside. The residential village called Cherry Hills had a landslide due to heavy rains. Houses were swept down and 60 people died with the 380 houses ruined. In another suburban town down south the government housing projects were proven to be substandard of materials that walls are collapsing and roofs have leaks. There was a senate hearing but I have not heard of a punished engineer or developer. Substandard housing here is the result of corruption.

One of the ways to stop the erection of substandard houses is to ensure that only qualified Engineers, architects and builders are awarded the contract of building a house. The government agency for housing has to certify that they are professionals before the commencement of the house projects. Also, quality materials must be used from start to finish in the construction of the house.

The issue of house collapse is one of the numerous problems in Nigeria.This is not due to the lands' but it happens as a result of negligence and inhuman behavior of some contractors who make use of substandard materials for construction.

The best way to monitor the activities of sub standard house is to make sure you monitor the activities of your building with your contractors. Most contractors do short out some cement and sand out of the one they claim to have bought for your building and at the long run it will be diverted.

The issue of substandard building in major cities are on the rise in developing countries. The constant loss of life due to builders decision using substandard materials, unskilled labor e.t.c can be reduced by taking necessary actions against builders and property owners who go against the building/planing law.

Every country is responsible for her citizen who cannot afford to pay for or have access to good housing. There are many citizens who do not earn enough to even get good meals. If in a system where things are working well and citizens are getting all their rightful entitlements, everyone would be able to afford and have access to basic amenities. If this works, then there might not be a need for government being responsible.

 

[Chumzy]

That can only be regulated by the government of the country or state, as the case may be. Sometimes, you can have all houses in the best standard because there will always be poor citizens. Government of advanced countries build houses and let them out to citizens for discounted prices.

Substandard houses can be reduced by using good materials to build your house. The materials you use to build your house determine the kind of house and the outcome of the quality of the house you are building. There are a lot of substandard houses today because of the kind of building materials been use to build the house.

I think substandard house is dangerous to everyone substandard house create a expect engineer. It's reduce a case of substandard house is very quickly its materials is not good to use it engineer a not agree to make this house.so this housing is not proper use to people

 

[Ojonuyo]

The rate of substandard houses can be reduced drastically when housing project and construction are awarded to professional contraction company rather than average up coming company. Also quality of material should be key over quantity to achieve a standard house.

I think the best way to tackle the scurge of substandard housing is to ban and remove inferior and low quality building materials from the market. The government has to put some rules and regulations in place so that any contruction company found guilty could be sued to the court and pay hefty fine.

There are laid down rules set out by the government in order to curb construction of substandard structures. It’s required of the property owner to submit all building plans and tests results to the nearest local government for proper checking before commencing construction. This hasn’t been very effective yet but in the nearest future it will. Also it’s best advised to employ the services of a licensed architect

Substandard housing such as water leaks, poor ventilation, dirty carpets and pest infestation can lead to an increase in mold, mites and other allergens associated with poor health. Cold indoor conditions have been associated with poorer health, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease

How to reduce the rate of subtandard house has to do with following stipulated building codes and construction regulations and ethics in the building industry. If these regulations are strictly adhered to, we will have less subtandard houses all over the world.
