Architects To Maha CM: Allow Us To Run With 50% Staff

The Practising Engineers, Architects and Town Planners Association (PEATA) has urged the government to allow offices of architects, licensed surveyors, plumbers, engineers and other private consultants related to the construction industry to function at 50% capacity. Architect Harshad More said construction sites are allowed to operate, but if no drawings, plans and designs are received, work will be hit, which the industry cannot afford at this stage. “The government has allowed discount in premium for a limited period and crucial time will be lost in this Break the Chain order,” he said. The Builders Association of India said festivals like Gudi Padwa, Akshaya Tritiya, considered auspicious to book new homes, are round the corner. “If our sales office is closed, buyers will face a lot of problems. Hence, these offices need to be allowed to remain open by observing all SOPs,” said the association in a letter to the CM.
