ACP Update – Sunday 4th September, 2022
The ACP Team is grateful to God for His faithfulness for the Cathedral Building project, now in Phase 3 which is the completion phase. Over the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown season, the new Sanctuary was fully plastered internally and external works for storm water drainage, paving, boundary fencing and gates were done.
Thank you, for your continued support.
Project completion for all works and installations is anticipated within one and half years as follows:
- By Christmas this year, December 2022 – the Sanctuary will be fully closed and Acoustic Ceiling with electro-mechanical installations within the roof space completed.
- By Easter next year, April 2023 – the floors and all internal finishes and electro-mechanical fittings will be completed
- By July next year, 2023 – externally – all walls (slanting, bell tower and every wall surface) completely cladded / finished
- By October next year, 2023 – pending offices (on lower ground) and any other pending works to be completed.
- Between October – December 2023 – to prepare for full commissioning of the completed project and obtaining of Occupation Permit. Christmas next year 2023 should therefore mark the full take-over of the new Cathedral.
- The above roadmap can be achieved earlier depending on availability of resources. Brethren, the finishing line is near, do not despair! We encourage you to continue to: Pray, Participate, Provide and (mobilize) Partners for this great work as we honour God.
TECHNICAL STATUS
The project is in the hands of Consultants who were re-engaged in line with the statutory requirements under the Building Control Regulations. The key challenge hindering continuation of full scale site works is delayed acquisition of the Building Permit required from KCCA pending resolution of plot 4 ownership. Due to interfaces and overlaps in works and installations for the various Lots of Works, a single procurement cycle for all pending scope will be initiated immediately after the Diocesan Golden Jubilee celebrations, for harmonized sequencing of site activities. Currently, the following works are recently completed or on-going:- Lot 5A – Public Washrooms (re-located) and Selected offices on Lower Ground, practically completed.
- Lot 6A – Floor Finishes in Terrazzo (for high traffic and wet areas), practically completed pending thematic landings
- Lot 8A – Windows to Vertical Walls – 70% complete
- Lot 9 – Acoustic Ceiling – under procurement (samples were provided while tender documentation and solicitation for all pending works is on-going)
