Help Grow Food For Street Kid's (Orphans)

SHARE is looking for fund's to start constructing staff quarters for medical workers in an effort to address the challenge of accommodation at the school.

The school has a total of over 26 staff (teaching and non teaching) but can only provide housing facilities to a small number, which affects service delivery at the school, .

Only one staff is accommodated by the school the rest of the staff rent houses outside the school, trekking between 2 to 7 kilometres to access the school which affects their daily productivity as they arrive at work tired, stressed and probably late.

Project phases

The building process consists of five phases as described below.

After the construction phase is finalised, the project is completed. This project completion does not necessarily mean that the entire building(s) of the client are finalised since some remaining activities can be contracted or finished outside of the contracted activities carried out by Easy Housing.

01. Permit design phase
The permit design includes the floorplans, elevations, sections, site plans and foundation plans that are handed to the municipality.

Duration: 2-4 weeks

02. Technical design phase
After approval, the constructor will work out the technical design of the project. This includes the technical details, bill of quantities with a material passport (circular economy), shop drawings and instructions.

Duration: 2-4 weeks

03. Procurement phase
After the technical design is finished, the materials for the construction phase can be ordered from the relevant supply chain partners.

Duration: 4-5 weeks

04. Prefabrication phase
The timber for the building(s) are prefabricated at a carpentry workshop that is contracted. A project manager ensures that the working drawings and technical details are built properly and makes sure the quality, logistics and planning are properly managed.

Duration: 2-4 weeks

05. On-site finishing
Once the building materials have been prefabricated, they are transported to their final destination. The construction team has beforehand set out the site and the foundation points. The placement of the frames usually takes place in a few days. After placing the building(s), the final steps of the construction process can commence. For example, applying roofing, paintworks, sanitation, electricity and so on.

Duration: 2-4 weeks
After these steps, the project is completed.
