Erratic builders face dismissal<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian Builders
\nAssociation (Gapensi) has threatened to dismiss members who
\nproduce substandard work.<\/p>\n
\"We mean to offer quality service to boost our image in the
\npublic. We won't hesitate to dismiss members who do shoddy work,\"
\nchapter chief Daniel Hutapea said as quoted by Antara over the
\nweekend.<\/p>\n
Builders may not handle government projects, which account for
\nmost local contractors' main incomes, unless they are Gapensi
\nmembers.<\/p>\n
Hutapea stressed that Indonesian builders have to offer
\nquality service and products if they do not want to lose out to
\noverseas competitors.<\/p>\n
\"Foreign contractors are equipped with better technology and
\nsubstantial capital. Local builders will have difficulties in
\ncompeting with them and in compensation, they will have to put
\nquality above all else,\" he said as quoted by Antara.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, chief of the city's public works office Dargono D.
\nsaid that nowadays contractors can no longer make large profits
\nby using substandard materials.<\/p>\n
\"Such manipulation will not only result in a shoddy project
\nbut also tarnish their company's reputation,\" he said. (pan)<\/p>",
