  1. NATIONAL RECTIFICATION PROGRAMME SELECT COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS11 SEPTEMBER 2012

  2. Presentation Outline • Background • Rectification Defined • Objectives of the Project • Implementation Framework • National Coordinator • Financial Implications • Funding Arrangement • 2012/13 Provincial Budgetary Allocations • Conclusion

  3. Background • The National Rectification Programme aims to correct defects on subsidy houses resulting generally from poor workmanship on subsidy houses that do not meet technical requirements as specified by South African National Standards (SANS) 10400 and NHBRC, as may have been applicable at the time of construction • Structural defects observed on a substantial number of subsidised low cost houses built between 1994 and 2010 has necessitated the NDoHS to embark on the rectification programme.

  4. Background (Cont…) • These defects are a result of a number of factors including but not limited to the following: • Poor workmanship • Use of inferior and inappropriate material • Deviation from specification • Poor project management • Lack of supervision • Unscrupulous contractor

  5. Rectification Defined • It refers to the process of correcting structural and other defects on low-cost houses which may be resulting generally from poor workmanship that do not meet the technical requirements specified by the NHBRC and SANS • The process of rectification is preceded by a thorough engineering assessment of the structural condition of each unit to determine the nature and extent of the defects and the rectification required. Based on rectification technical specification, an estimation of cost per house is then determined

  6. Objectives of the Project • Identify the full extent of the scope and estimated cost of defective houses • Implement a process of successful rectification of all defective houses • Professional execution of the project within time budget and according to specification • Proper liaison between all stakeholders to ensure long-term positive outcomes in affected communities • Consideration of environmental and social impacts • Establish a proper and effective reporting system

  7. Implementation Framework • Managed at two distinct levels which entail the following main activities: • National level (PMU) • Conceptualize and plan the implementation • Obtain support from provincial and local government • Approve implementation programme • Standardize tender documentation

  8. Implementation Framework (Cont…) • Align approach • Coordinate • Consolidate reporting • Provincial/Regional level • Issue instructions • Construction supervision and quality control • Certify payment • Monitor and report performance

  9. National Coordinator • A professional service provider will be appointed to support the PMU to coordinate and align the implementation programme. The following are the functions of the service provider: • Evaluate/ verify the findings from the NHBRC • Conceptualize and plan programme and obtain approvals • Compile standardized tender documentation

  10. National Coordinator (Cont..) • Engineers cost estimates • Facilitate the tender, evaluation and appointment of building contractors per province • Obtain, evaluate and approval of delivery programmes and cashflows • Facilitate the tender, evaluation and appointment of local service providers for site supervision, quality control, safety aspects etc

  11. Financial Implications • Category 1: Non Structural Defects:Moderate Rectification Work • Category 2: Minor Structural Defects: Extensive Rectification Work • Category 3: Major Structural Defects: Demolish And Rebuild

  12. Summary of Category of defects & rectification cost estimate

  13. Financial Implications (Cont...) • The cost estimates (category 1&2) are the average cost estimates based on the defects observed on poorly constructed low-cost housing • The estimate includes the professional fees • The extra over cost for temporary accommodation is provided for in order to temporary accommodate the people construction work is being carried out on their units • The provision for civil engineering infrastructures is assumed and will be verified during the assessment review

  14. Funding Arrangement • Funded from an amount of up to 10% of the budgetary allocation of the Provincial HSDG

  15. 2012/13 PROVINCIAL BUDGET ALLOCATION

  16. CONCLUSION • Rectification is a • Very critical and sensitive programme but • Should not be the mainstream activity in the Business Plan

  17. THANK YOU
