IFC intends to finance the assignment described below under a trust fund from The Netherlands/IFC Technical Assistance Trust Fund

The assignment will hire a local engineering firm to provide quality assurance services for housing reconstruction and construction in Grenada: to train government inspectors, outside engineers and local artisans in Grenada on sustainable building techniques and materials for reconstruction and future construction, and to monitor and certify design and construction.

The project would provide training and assistance to the following groups:

1. Physical Planning Unit (PPU) Inspectors

- Workshops for PPU Inspectors: to improve their understanding of the new design and construction process, as developed during the first phase of the program. Five workshops are planned: one to provide an overview of the process, and four to improve inspectors’ understanding of specific elements of the process.
- Audits: every 6 months, the consultants would audit the inspections, identify areas of improvement, and conduct a workshop to address these areas for improvement and fill in gaps in inspectors’ knowledge.

2. Engineers

- Training Course: a 5-day course for engineers on Multi-hazard Building Design, to improve their knowledge of sustainable building design and construction.
- Symposium: engineers would by invited to participate in a 2-day symposium to design a Checking Manual
- Audits: every 3 months for the first year, and every 6 months for the second year, PPU approved applications would be audited by the consultants

3. Plumbers and Electricians

- Symposium: plumbers and electricians would be invited to a half-day symposium on energy efficient plumbing and lighting fixtures. The artisans would be encouraged to use energy efficient networks and recommend energy efficient electrical fixtures and water saving plumbing fixtures to their clients.
