Mr. David Corrigan:
We do not have the specific details for each and every instance. What we have from our discussions with PPP Co and the assigned certifier is that on the basis of their review of it, at the moment it is a viable alternative approach if they cannot reach a commercial agreements with the existing supply chain. We also are in liaison with the Building Control Authority but the process is not concluded yet. They are the three statutory actors in this, namely, the assigned certifier, the builder and the Building Control Authority. There are no shortcuts to be taken here. It has to be a valid process with a valid inspection and test plan and must be validated at the end of the day.
The builder and the assigned certifier are responsible. They sign the statutory undertakings and the statutory certification on completion. They have not yet concluded their detailed breakdown of exactly how that works out and what due diligence and testing must be done on each material or product.
