The building structure is completed, and project is progressing well with finishing by the blessings and grace of Allah (SWT). The internal and external plaster is expected to be completed by May 2020, meanwhile installation of lift, main door of the apartments and other interior works have started and continuing at a good pace.
The housing board is also facilitating some additional amenities at the building on the open Terrace to keep it partly open and rest 60% to a fully equipped function hall for the residents and other usages by Afed. Site meeting was held on 15th January 2020, ensuing with fruitful discussion on the decision to upgrade the terrace floor. Moreover, materials such as external paint, sanitaryware and lights samples were approved, and fixing approval was given.
Teamwork in such communal mega projects are important for successful completion of the project with the scope and the budget. The Housing board appreciates the efforts and input by the contractor to complete the project as soon as possible without compromising on the quality and by working closely with the consultants to ensure the standards of quality and workmanship are adhered to.
Alhaj Ahmed bhai Daya from the U.K. visited the site on 6th February 2020 to witness the progress of the project and was overwhelmed with continued good quality work and pace of the project.
Meanwhile, the Housing Board Chairman, Akil bhai Hirji appreciated the continuous support of Alhaj Ahmed bhai Daya of U.K. who is passionate towards the project and successful completion as planned enabling the long-term scheme to be practical for the benefit the members of our community.
Lately, we have been receiving requests from the Khoja community members globally who intend to migrate to Dar es Salaam, the Housing Board will consider and provide assistance to the members after the board receives request from their respective Jamaats. This will only be applicable to those who will migrate and stay in the apartments by themselves.
