A need for more than 860 000 housing units was identified in the National Housing Policy Document of 1996 and it was recommended that 110 000 units be constructed in every year.
Hollard noted that his firm would construct quality affordable units in Zambia and through the just completed housing project more that 450 people got employment.
The current project that the company is working on has more than 200 workers with a larger number of the same being women.
