Navigating the New NCC Regulations: What Contractors Need to Know
Published on September 15, 2025

Staying compliant with the National Council for Construction (NCC) is fundamental to operating a reputable and successful contracting business in Zambia. The NCC framework ensures that projects are executed safely, sustainably, and to a high standard. As regulations evolve, it's crucial for contractors to remain informed and adapt their practices accordingly.
Key Areas of Focus
Recent updates often focus on several key areas: enhanced Health and Safety Environment (HSE) protocols, stricter requirements for material sourcing and quality control, and updated continuous professional development (CPD) points for registered professionals. These changes are not designed to be burdensome; rather, they aim to elevate the entire industry and protect clients, workers, and the public.
