Portfolio detail
This project entails the construction of a G+4 building and its site work. The G+4 Story building will serve as a registrar block for Bahir Dar University's maritime academy. The project was designed by Ethiopian Construction Design & Supervision Works Corporation. Since September 2014 EC, the client has awarded the project to Esubalew Dessie BC (the Contractor). In accordance with this, Wisdom Enterprise has been granted the construction supervision, quality control, and contract administration consultation service provisions.
The initial contract price of the project with VAT is 134,477,870.39 Ethiopian Birr. As per the contract, the time allocated for the completion of the project is 600 calendar days. Up on the contractor’s time extension claim 160 additional days were also approved and hence the total time allocation to complete the project is 760 calendar days.
The site is located in Main campus of Bahir Dar University, specifically in front of the old presidential complex. The project site plan area is approximately 1300 m2. The topography of the site is flat with very gentle slope dipping from west to east. There has been considerable coverage of large trees. The project site is bordered by existing asphalt roads along all its sides.
The scope of the project includes executing the construction of the building and its compound site work. The contractor is expected to execute the construction of the two work schemes until functionality status. However, the contractual agreement does not extend up to the interior design of the building and site landscape design tasks that the client will be undertaking such tasks by another phase so as to furnish the building and develop the site landscape scene.
