The IAPM – A promising future

The IAPM – A promising future 21.11.2014 - Bad news is good news - sad but true. You can see evidence of it everywhere - on TV, on the internet and in the print media.

The delay to putting up the new houses, I found out last week, is that the proposals from the builders have been rejected. Now it seems like we’ll be waiting for the local authorities to review a new proposal and maybe that one will get the green light. The builders would have prepared a project proposal for consideration, and this is the document that also kicks off other projects. Read more »
