The project was completed in a total of 21 days by a local constracting team. The main school structure was completed in just six days. Construction began with laying the foundations and concrete floor. When the foundation was complete, preparations started for the walls and roof installation, which involved cutting and laying out the metal supports (U-beams) for the first layer of blocks and assembling the roof frames. The walls were completed in three days, and then the roof frames and sheeting were constructed.

With the main structure now complete, work began on installing the internal ceilings, doors, and windows, as well as the tiling of the floors. The electrician installed the cabling, including lights and power points for the classrooms. Finally, wooden strips were lodged to frame the doors and windows, and the external walls were painted in UV-protective paint.

The school’s location is reasonably good, making the delivery of materials possible. The weather conditions posed several challenges for the building team during this project.
