Progress of the Construction of the Jesuit Community House

The completion of one stage sets the stage for subsequent tasks to commence
The finalization of the Jesuit Community House construction not only signals the progression toward establishing a school but also enables the settlement in Bonga. The construction has now entered the final stages, with plastering, electrical installations on both floors, and PVC pipes completed, while the roofing is currently in progress. The contractor is diligently striving to finish the outstanding tasks. Presently, the house features two roof sections: one acting as the primary roof on the first floor and another on the ground floor, encompassing spaces like the chapel, visitors’ parlor, laundry, and changing room. The roofing process may take some time due to the specific materials and equipment being utilized by the contractor.
Finishing works
As the finishing works commence, the focus shifts towards the decoration of the house. While this may seem straightforward, it is a critical phase that enhances the overall aesthetics of the building. The contractor has completed all necessary preparations, and now the finishing touches such as gypsum installation, painting, ceramics, doors, and aluminum works are underway. The remaining significant tasks for the contractor include site work and the construction of walkways. The creation of walkways is crucial, especially considering the loamy soil on the ground, which can become slippery during rainy periods.
