Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Sri Lanka currently relies on a combination of international standards for building design, as it lacks a single, legally established National Building Code. This new code will establish unified standards for construction practices across the country, supporting the government's broader housing access goals.

The Sri Lankan government has initiated a pilot project aimed at improving housing access for citizens, which includes planning to introduce a relevant Bill to Parliament.
