The category five storm destroyed about 24,000 houses and inflicted material damage initially estimated to be about FJD $967 million.
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says Cabinet will meet tomorrow to receive a cyclone report to continue the rehabilitation programme after last month's devastation by Cyclone Winston.
Bainimarama who has been inspecting the cyclone damage areas says the government is aware that some builders failed to follow the building code to save money.
He says contractors who had been tasked with constructing several buildings had been looking for cheaper options instead of focusing on quality.
He adds in the rebuilding programme, the contractors should follow the National Building Code as a priority so that homes can withstand cyclones.
