Sunyani, Nov. 10, GNA - The Brong-Ahafo Regional branch of Ghana Institution of Surveyors was on Thursday inaugurated with a call on the institution to help ensure sanity in the building industry. Mr. Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister, who made the call challenged the Institution to further ensure that developers complied with building regulations.

Mr Kwaku Amoah Mensah, the National President of the institution, explained that the branch executives served as a forum for exchange of ideas as well as a unified channel for propagating the ideals of the institution.
