How can digital tools improve building approvals, strengthen inspections and enhance accountability across Uganda's construction industry?

At the State of the Building Sector Conference 2026, we will examine the role of innovation, technology and digital transformation in modernising building control.

From digital modelling and site data to electronic permitting, the discussion will focus on practical solutions for a more efficient, transparent and responsive building control system.

Following the collapse at Holy City Church, Bwerenga, NBRB is conducting further investigations into the what caused the collapse. The NBRB team is conducting laboratory tests to establish possible causes of the structural failure.

The tests are examining soil bearing capacity, concrete strength and quality, and the strength of reinforcement bars to establish whether the materials and ground conditions met the required standards.

The scientific findings will inform the ongoing investigations and help establish what went wrong.

From the hills to schools, religious institutions and boardrooms, the assessment of buildings for earthquake resilience is gaining momentum across communities.
The assessment teams are engaging residents, local leaders, school administrators, religious leaders and other stakeholders, inspecting buildings, reviewing architectural and structural plans, and collecting vital information to establish how prepared our buildings are to withstand earthquake risks.

Every visit, conversation and inspection contributes to a broader national effort to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen building safety and promote a culture of disaster preparedness.
