This website is dedicated towards maintaining a large pool of masons in Sri Lanka who are equipped either with qualifications or years of experience, and link them to contractors both local and global who are willing to provide job opportunities for this segment whilst also helping to develop the livelihood of masons.
Thanks to the launch of this website, for the first time in Sri Lanka individual house builders, contractors, engineers and architects will now have greater convenience in selecting the right manpower for their construction needs.
The need for this website was born through the understanding that finding masons with the right skills and experience is still a challenge in Sri Lanka so it is envisaged that the launch of this website will address this need.
In addition to providing information on the mason’s region, qualifications, experience and specialties, the website also offers information on recommended products, Holcim Lanka’s many CSR initiatives, engineering news and FAQs and is designed in a user friendly manner for the convenience of all users.
Speaking about the launch of this website Mr. Dinesh Hamangoda - Marketing Manager Channel Development of Holcim Lanka said, “This has been a dire need for some time and we are proud to see this materialise today.
Whilst enabling house builders across the country to source skilled masons from the vicinity of their site, the website also provides masons with a platform to locate good job opportunities.
We at Holcim will coordinate between both parties once we receive a request and will offer assurances to both parties to guarantee a smooth partnership.
We urge masons and house builders alike to utilize this resource to better develop their businesses and livelihoods.”
Holcim Lanka has always played a role in aiding masons through several islandwide mason partnership events.
In 2012 HolcimLanka launched and commenced operations of the Holcim Mason’s Society which seeks to spread the message of right construction practices to masons.
Holcim Lanka also conducts the highly successful ‘NipunathaAbisheka’ program in partnership with the National Apprentice and Industrial Training Authority (NAITA) to offer masons National Vocational Qualification certification, the only certification available for masons in Sri Lanka.
