Infrastructure development at De Endragt Phase-2 now 75-95% complete

The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) continues to intensify its efforts to ensure the timely and accountable delivery of serviced house lots to Guyanese families.
On Saturday, CH&PA’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr Martin Pertab, led an inspection of ongoing infrastructure works at Phase II of the De Endragt Housing Scheme, East Coast Demerara (ECD). He was joined by the Director of Community Development, Gladwin Charles, along with a technical team of engineers and surveyors.

According to the CH&PA, the visit forms part of the agency’s reinforced monitoring strategy aimed at ensuring contractors strictly observe project timelines and accelerate development progress, in keeping with the mandate of President Dr Irfaan Ali.
More than $3 billion is being invested in Phase II of De Endragt for critical infrastructural upgrades, including the construction of roads, bridges, culverts, drainage and pipe networks.
The contractors engaged in these works are Doodnauth Construction and Supplies Inc., Fyuse Hoosain Construction Inc, AJM Enterprise, SAWA Investment Inc, Vulcan Group Inc and Surrey Paving & Aggregate Company Guyana Inc, each progressing at different stages, with most contractors now between 75 per cent and 95 per cent completion at their respective lots. During the site visit, Dr Pertab stated that these works are essential to support the sustainability of the scheme. He emphasised, “At the pace we are moving, it is important that these works are completed on time so that allottees can occupy their house lots.” He further cautioned contractors that failure to meet deadlines or contractual obligations will affect their eligibility for future projects, noting that their performance directly impacts beneficiaries who are eager to begin building their homes.
