The Chief Executive of the company, Mr Christopher Foe who made this known at the 10th anniversary celebrations of the company in Ho said the new technology would reduce the cost of construction for an average home by 30 per cent.

He said gone were the days when foreign contractors were offered juicy contracts against local ones on grounds of shoddy work and delay in delivering projects on schedule by local contractors.
According to him, the company has positioned itself to acquire a state-of-the art equipment to enable it compete with any kind of company in the world adding that it was migrating from conventional method of construction to a modernized system.
He said discrimination against local contractors in respect of late payment for work done and the undue exploitation of local artisans against the confines of the labour laws of the state were a bane to the thrive of local contractors.
Three hardworking staff of the company were presented with awards at the ceremony. The grand worker, Mr Robert Gbetsi received a three bedroom house, a deep freezer went to Mr Japhet Foe and a gas cooker and home theatre went to Mr Gabriel Atsu as the second and third best workers respectively.
