Shachitari Contractors is honored to have been awarded the tender for the proposed construction of dwelling houses for the resettlement of households affected by the Irrigation Development Support Project (IDSP) in Lusakashi, located within the Mufulira District of Zambia. This significant project, commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, represents a pivotal initiative aimed at addressing the needs of displaced communities and facilitating their transition to new, sustainable living environments.
The scope of work for this undertaking is extensive and multifaceted, encompassing a comprehensive array of construction activities designed to deliver safe, comfortable, and resilient housing solutions for the resettled households. From site clearing and excavations to final landscaping, every aspect of the project is meticulously planned and executed to ensure the successful realization of the resettlement objectives.
Site clearing operations mark the initial phase of the project, where our skilled workforce undertakes the removal of vegetation, debris, and obstructions to prepare the ground for construction activities. This critical step sets the stage for subsequent works, facilitating unimpeded access to the construction site and enabling the commencement of excavation activities.
Excavations form an integral part of the construction process, involving the careful removal of soil and earth to create foundations for the dwelling houses. Our experienced team employs precision excavation techniques to achieve the required depths and dimensions, laying the groundwork for the structural integrity and stability of the buildings.
Concrete works constitute a fundamental aspect of the construction process, with our team adeptly executing the casting and curing of reinforced concrete foundations, floor slabs, columns, and beams. Adhering to industry-best practices and quality standards, we ensure that the concrete structures are robust, durable, and capable of withstanding the test of time.
Block work and brickwork form the structural framework of the dwelling houses, with our skilled masons proficiently laying bricks and blocks to construct walls, partitions, and enclosures. Attention to detail and precision craftsmanship are paramount during this phase, as we strive to achieve seamless integration of building elements while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Plumbing works entail the installation of water supply and sanitation systems, including piping, fixtures, and fittings, to provide essential amenities to the resettled households. Our licensed plumbers meticulously plan and execute plumbing installations, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and optimal functionality and efficiency.
Carpentry works encompass a diverse range of tasks, from the fabrication and installation of door and window frames to the construction of interior fittings, cabinets, and fixtures. Our skilled carpenters leverage their expertise to deliver bespoke carpentry solutions that enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and comfort of the dwelling houses.
Roofing represents a crucial phase of the construction process, where our team installs high-quality roofing materials to provide shelter and protection from the elements. From timber trusses and roof sheets to insulation and waterproofing, we prioritize durability, weather resistance, and thermal comfort in our roofing solutions.
Ironmongery installation involves the fitting of door handles, locks, hinges, and other hardware components to ensure security, functionality, and ease of use throughout the dwelling houses. Our meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship ensure that every ironmongery element is installed to the highest standards, enhancing the overall safety and functionality of the residential units.
Painting and decorating add the finishing touches to the dwelling houses, with our skilled painters applying high-quality paints and finishes to interior and exterior surfaces. From color selection to surface preparation and application, we strive to create aesthetically pleasing living spaces that reflect the preferences and lifestyles of the resettled households.
External works encompass a range of site improvement and landscaping activities aimed at enhancing the aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability of the residential environment. From the construction of access roads and pathways to the installation of boundary walls and landscaping features, we create cohesive and inviting outdoor spaces that promote community engagement and well-being.
Throughout the project lifecycle, Shachitari Contractors remains committed to excellence in construction management, quality assurance, and stakeholder engagement. We collaborate closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, local authorities, and community representatives to ensure that the resettlement project aligns with the needs, aspirations, and cultural sensitivities of the affected households.
Upon completion, the newly constructed dwelling houses at Lusakashi will serve as a beacon of hope and opportunity for the resettled households, providing them with safe, dignified, and sustainable living environments. By delivering on our commitment to social responsibility and community development, Shachitari Contractors reaffirms its dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of people and communities across Zambia.
