The buildability scores will then be raised progressively as MYE is progressively cut, and as the industry becomes more familiar and adapt in buildable designs. Preparation through 10. Training The legislation of buildable design is a radical measure to solve our unique problems. There will probably be some kinks in its implementation, especially in the initial years. But these can be minimised if the industry prepares itself well for the change.
Training is the best preparation.
Over the past year, BCA has trained more than 1,400 professionals on the Buildable Design Scoring System. BCA is confident of achieving the target of training at least 1,800 professionals by year end so that most of the design firms would be prepared when the legislation becomes effective in January 2001. I would like to urge all small firms to send their staff for training on buildability. BCA, on its part, is taking a very proactive approach by calling up firms individually to arrange their training. I hope that more small firms will respond.
