Public Safety & Industry Development

The Committee for Quality Control of High-Rise Building Construction Projects (CQHP) was established in Myanmar on August 11, 2003, with nine members, including an architect and eight structural engineers. Reforms in 2004 and 2007 expanded the committee’s expertise to include mechanical, geotechnical, water, sanitation, and electrical engineering. Subsequent changes in 2015 and 2016 adjusted membership numbers and roles within the committee. In 2019, the CQHP was restructured into the High-Rise and Public Building Projects Committee (HPBC), which saw further expansions and publications. By 2024, the HPBC had twenty-seven members and employed thirty-four staff, overseeing various construction projects in Myanmar.
