“Don’t rush to complain on social media”: Architecture Committee explains what to do when developers breach contracts
As residential construction expands in Dushanbe, complaints from residents about developers are also becoming more frequent. Nizom Mirzozoda, Chairman of the Committee for Architecture and Construction under the Government of Tajikistan, explained at a July 9 news conference how such disputes should be handled.
His comments came amid a growing number of complaints from citizens, including claims that some construction companies accepted money from residents of demolished homes but failed to complete replacement housing or did not fulfill their obligations at all.
According to Mirzozoda, the Committee is responsible for conducting state examinations, monitoring construction quality, issuing permits and ensuring compliance with building regulations.
However, it does not intervene in civil-law disputes between developers and homebuyers.
«The Committee for Architecture and Construction conducts examinations, monitors quality, issues construction permits and ensures that new buildings comply with established standards. However, our agency is not involved in private transactions, and the terms of contracts do not fall within our authority,» Mirzozoda said.
He noted that the cost of housing, construction deadlines and the fulfillment of obligations are governed by contracts between the parties, which are notarized.
Responding to journalists’ questions, Mirzozoda also criticized the tendency of some citizens to post complaints on social media before using the legal mechanisms available to protect their rights.
He reminded potential buyers that Dushanbe has a unified online platform, Memor.pro, where they can check whether the construction of an apartment building is legal.
The platform provides information about construction permits, state examination findings and other required documents. This allows buyers to assess a project before purchasing an apartment or signing a shared-construction agreement.
