Renovation of School Block (Progress Report)

By Karlheinz Neumann | Founder and Project Leader

Rebuilt walls and preparing parapet work
Rebuilt walls and preparing parapet work

In July 2021 we started renovating the 4300 sqft. “U-Block”. It will be the largest single construction project in the entire ten-building school complex. We expect total costs of approx. USD 42,000 for building renovation, roof, doors and windows, plastering, painting and tiling the floors.

What has been achieved so far?

The masonry work required for the basic renovation of the building has now been almost completely done, such as

  • the dismantling of the broken roofs
  • a partial excavation and creation of a new foundation
  • the dismantling of the walls with strong cracks, exterior and interior walls partially rebuild or renovate
  • the creation and pouring of the columns with steel containers
  • creation of the connections of the pillars with a concreted ledge as part of the foundation
  • concreting of the roof parapet

What about the costs?

We will have some additional costs of around USD 3,200 for various good reasons for the masonry work:

  • During the construction phase, we decided that we would be concreting a parapet on the walls above as a much better stabilization for the roof.
  • We have additional costs for reinforcing iron for two reasons: Increased prices (global price increase in the steel sector) and our decision to build more stable pillars. At the beginning of the construction work we could see on another building after a storm (in which parts of a roof were destroyed) how important these two measures are (parapet and stronger pillars for support).
  • We will have higher expenses in terms of labor costs because of additional work for the reasons mentioned above.

What’s coming up soon?

The new roof is then erected on the relevant parts of the building; windows and doors are produced in parallel. The walls are then plastered. If all goes well, the work should be completed in the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2022.

The completion of this school building will be a significant relief for the high number of students as we can provide several additional classrooms. Today, due to lack of space, up to 300 students from several classes are taught in one classroom.

Thank you so much for your support.You can make it happen.

Please watch a 10 minute video what we accomplished so far. See LINK below.
