Challenges & Solutions
Due to the nature of funding for the development, subcontractors and suppliers needed to be carefully selected for the project to meet all local requirements and strong local participation was a goal that was met. Installation of a brand new infrastructure including new roads, parking lots, utility lines, sidewalks and street lights made for a difficult site work package. Allowing residents to occupy completed units as quickly as they were finished was carefully managed to ensure everyone’s safety.
