A workshop on developing construction project management skills for high-rise and public building projects is being held in Yangon from 5 to 12 December, according to the High-Rise and Public Building Project Committee (HPBC).
The workshop, titled “Management System for Building a Better Future Together”, is being held at the Department of Urban and Housing Development in Botahtaung Township, Yangon Region. Project directors, project managers, and civil engineers supervising construction work on high-rise projects in the Yangon Region are attending the discussion.
“Construction project management is crucial for the construction of high-rise and public buildings, which involve significant risks. Therefore, we are organizing these workshops to help those in the relevant sectors gain more knowledge on the subject and further develop their skills,” said HPBC Chairman U Thein Zaw.
Four construction experts discussed issues related to the Myanmar National Building Code 2025 during the workshop. The code was initially drafted in 2008 by experts from the Federation of Myanmar Engineering Societies with international assistance and was put into use in 2020. Five years later, the upgraded Myanmar National Building Code 2025 was published. — ASH/TH
