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 2 year 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 by the end of the year 2023 as follows:
a) By end of August 2023 – all Interior works for the Sanctuary will be completed – fully closed, Acoustic Ceiling, floor finishes, all internal finishes and with electro-mechanical installations.
b) By end of December 2023 – all Exterior works – Walls (slanting, bell tower and every wall surface) to be cladded, pending offices (on lower ground) and any other pending works to be completed.
The above roadmap heavily depends on how fast we can close the funding gap estimated over 8 Billion. 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 honor God.
TECHNICAL STATUS
The project is in the hands of Consultants and the site remains under restricted access.
The key challenge still hindering continuation of full-scale site works is delayed acquisi-
tion of the Building Permit required from KCCA pending resolution of plot 4 ownership.
Currently, the following activities are on-going
Lot 6A – Floor Finishes in Terrazzo (for high traffic and wet areas), practically completed pending thematic landings and final grinding/polishing to be done at a later stage of site completion. Terrazzo Masters will proceed to do all floor finishes for the entire Bell Tower.
Lot 8A – Windows to Vertical Walls – 80% complete.
Procurement for Completion Works for Interiors – Comprising Floor finishes (Lot 6), Closures – Doors and Railings (Lot 7), Acoustic Ceiling (Lot 9), Electro-Mechanical Lots 10/11) – a single procurement cycle was initiated under a Restricted Tendering Method, to save time.
