GENERAL NEWS News Briefs Wheki phase two – the end of construction is nigh! By Chabo Mbikiwa In just seven months we will be opening doors to the first green- star rated buildings in Botswana. It gives us so much joy to see the structures complete to roofing level. We anticipate having a very busy first quarter of 2018 on site as fit-outs for both Bank Gaborone and Capital Bank will be in progress. The development comprises of two buildings, a 4-storey and a 3-storey building. Capital Bank will take two floors of the western building while the third floor is up for sale. Bank Gaborone will take up approximately 75% of the eastern building while the balance of the area is available for rent. We are still looking for takers for these spaces to have fully occupied buildings in June 2018. We have progressed very well and with the help of our progressive project team, we have full confidence in completing high quality A-grade offices in 2018. KFC opening in Mochudi By Michael Hughes The Pilane Crossing Mall and residents of Mochudi can look forward to a new Kentucky Fried Chicken drive-through early next year. The project is on a very tight time frame - the building brief is to have the basic building constructed and completed in just 70 days! With the help of ADA and Sharps Construction, Time Projects has managed to make good progress towards its completion by the end of this year. We are currently nearing completion of the wet works and beginning the civil work. We are confident that the building shell will be completed, as required, before the Christmas break. 4 Project management: Time Projects Architect: Dalgliesh Lindsay Group Engineer: ADA Engineers Main contractor: Sharps Construction ISSUE 32 - DECEMBER 2017
