We, the undersigned residents and stakeholders of The Bahamas, respectfully submit this petition urging the immediate appointment of the Construction Contractors Board as required by the Contractors Act passed by Parliament in 2016.

This important legislation marks a significant step in our nation’s commitment to building a properly regulated construction industry — one where all contractors operating in The Bahamas meet high standards of professionalism, quality, and safety.

The establishment of the Construction Contractors Board is essential for:
- Overseeing and licensing professional contractors,
- Implementing a standardized licensing system,
- Improving the overall quality of construction work,
- Protecting consumers from substandard practices and safety hazards.

A well-regulated licensing system ensures that only qualified and competent professionals carry out construction activities, thereby protecting the integrity of our buildings, infrastructure, and the well-being of our communities.

We therefore call upon the relevant authorities to act without further delay and appoint the Construction Contractors Board so that it may fulfill its mandate and support the sustainable development and economic growth of our nation.

If you agree with this call for professionalism, accountability, and consumer protection in the construction industry, please sign this petition.
