indianexpress: CONSTRUCTION Industry Development Council (CIDC) and Pune-based Durocrete Construction Quality Rating Agency Pvt Ltd (CQRA) on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a joint certification programme aimed at rating the quality of construction in both the private and the public sectors, as well as in the infrastructure projects taken up by the government.
The MoU, which was signed between CIDC director general P R Swarup and CQRA founder and MD Ujwal Kunte, is touted to be the first of its kind in the country aimed exclusively at assessing the ‘quality’ of a construction project. Under the tie-up, CQRA will invest in the necessary infrastructure and manpower; CIDC will also help popularise the concept in the construction industry as well as the governmental organisations. CIDC will help source trained manpower from its specialised training institutions across the country.
