We are committed to this mission and this is one of the things that keep us going.”
On his part, Damola Akindolire, Executive Director, Real Estate development of Alpha Mead said the certification of AMDC is deliberate, especially now that quality is becoming a cliché on Real Estate product.“Everybody claims they are producing quality Real Estate Assets but not everyone can define clearly the process of producing quality.
So this certification is for us to prove to our customers that we mean quality when we say quality and that is why we have put our process of producing quality to international assessment and by this certification, we believe that the international community has spoken and endorse that we have defined methodologies for producing quality”, Akindolire added.
