Project Performance
In partnership with Block Solutions and Yayasan Classroom of Hope Indonesia, we built three permanent, environmentally sustainable, and earthquake-resistant classrooms. The construction turnaround was very rapid, with the main structure being completed in just seven days and the over all project completed within 22 days. The local building team used their newly learned skills in constructing buildings using the Finnish Block technology – skills that can be passed on to others for future projects.
The management of this project was effective and efficient, with the project coming in at just 1% over budget, which was due to the additional, unbudgeted cost of the exterior paintwork.
Environmental sustainability was a high priority for this project. The blocks used to construct the classroom walls are produced from 50% recycled materials and 50% bio-composite materials. Other building materials were sourced locally or repaired and reused where possible. The blocks are earthquake-resistant and certified to last 100 years. As Satap 2 Tanjung Junior High School is a registered government school, it will be maintained and run by the staff and community. The government will provide teacher salaries, staff training, and school materials.
