2. Introduction

2.1. General Background

The growth of investment in the property market over the last five years in consistent with
the global experience suggesting that investment in the residential and commercial property
(real estate) is greatly influenced by the performance of the macroeconomic conditions. In
general, a stable macroeconomic condition leads to economic and business growth and
develops investors’ confidence. This certainly spurs large demand in the property market
for office space, shopping malls, catering services, apartment and residential houses.
Following growing demand trends, and with the expectation of high return on their
investment capital, large number of land developers pooled their financial resources and
invested in the property market.

Sarbo town is one of more economically stable town in Jimma zone popular in Chat,Cereal
Crop,Fruits and Vegetatn Coffee and livestock market. Mixed use building will be owned
and operated by Mr Mohammed Nezif Aba Mecha, whom are resident for long time in the
district planned to construct mixed use building in Sarbo town Thus,This project feasibility
study is undertaken to check the market, technical and financial feasibility of this project.
The business will be operated as a Private ownership and will offer supermarkets, Beauty
salon, shops, offices Computer and mobile Center, Cafeterias, restaurant, boutiques, textile
fashion, baby clothe, assembly hall, guest house and other activities, pharmaceutical, as
well as novelty items. Recently Sarbo town is becoming convenience for such investment
and the growing demand of better economic service. To realize this mixed use building
plays a crucial role to promote the growth of the town in one hand and to reduce the
growing demand of commercial house. The socio-economic environment of the town

The promoter is very ambitious and committed to realize the project. Hence, they expects
to get the necessary support from the city administration to make the project to be
operational.
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

Looking at the past trends and permits issues by the Government to the
construction of real estate properties including the mixed use building in the
major urban areas of the country specially in Addis Ababa one can easily conclude that the
momentum is more likely to continue.

Besides, the government polices and incentives for the private sector investment are very
promising that motivates the promoter to engaged in mixed use building business.

2.2. Objective of the project

The major goal of this project is to contribute towards the growth of the trade sector in
Sarbo town.

Its specific objectives include the following.

 The primary objective of this project is to gives quality and convenient services to the
customer on their demand and to facilitate Urbanization of towns, targeting in
government policies.
 Provide restaurant and hotels service to serve growing market demand and to address
the needs of the community;
 create an economically viable development that will contributes to the national
economy through creating job opportunities to unemployment, generating tax revenue
to bodies of the government and facilitating supply and service availability in the
market.

 To construct and develop modern shops, offices, and restaurant, bedroom & cafeteria
facilities that enable to provide standard services to visitors.

 To undertake trading and other refuted business activities that enable to generate a
reasonable to the invested capital.
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed

 To develop modern business centre that would provide product and services to meet
the market demand with efficient and quality to attract foreign visitors and thereby
contribute towards the generation of hard currency for the country.

 To create employment opportunities for the population in the town and

 Contribute towards the development of the town through the construction of modern
building infrastructure and facilities.

2.3. Project description

The popularity of convenience building and mixed market center continues as people
become more economically grow and demand for better product and service by creating
less time for household purchases. Chat and Crop is the major cash crop in Kersa woreda
and surrounding woreda. In Sarbo town thies is shortage of mixed use building that
promote efficient marketing. The closest activity is only in Jimma which is far away by 20
km from Sarbo town. Mixed use building will carry a wide range of goods and services in
its shop, allowing customers to satisfy more needs quickly in one location without having
to drive to other market center. In Ethiopia there are some convenience mixed building and
market center, more established each year in the suburbs and concentrated city areas.
However, there is a shortage of such activity in Sarbo town beside its being a center of
market for nearby woreda like Tiro Afeta,Omo Nada \ and surrounding Kersa woreda rural
areas traveler from Addis Ababa to Jimma will shop commodities from the town, the
population demand for product and service increase and the merchant have no favorable
shop to satisfy their costomer demand. Major Road from Addis to Jimma pass through
Sarbo town and offers a significant secondary target market for Mixed use building from
the travelers going to Jimma or Addis needing, food,goods or other services. The limited
number of mixed use building along the highway, giving them a large potential share of
the market. Growth potential of the community for product and service is promising. The
rapid increasing of population has increased consistently over the past ten years and the
number of businesses in the city has risen during this time period. The owner plans the
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

project to render banking and insurance, shopping facility, and cafeteria services to create
high quality class to satisfy the interest of customers in the town. Based on environmental
and other considerations, the entrepreneur has determined the type and size of the building
which is already determined by the site; conceptual planning and preliminary analysis have
been carried out by analysts.

2.4. Project Rationale

One of the biggest problems which are often occurring in the current urbanization
development in least developed countries is in convenience of market and lack of modern
market center. Therefore it is important to offer economic integration of demand and
supply.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha mixed commercial building is reliable business
center renovating G+3 story building for mixed use in Sarbo town. Therefore, The
Promoter will complete the building as per requirements and specification provided by the
client.

The Economic growth and rapid urbanization in the country is promising investment
opportunities, the demands of product and service needs along with relatively sound
investment support made by the government in such kinds of feasible projects, compelled
the project promoter to initiate the multipurpose oriented business project to be established.
Despite the promising business opportunities of the town, the trend on such kinds of
investment found to not enough. The mismatch between the demand for and supply of such
kind of services in easily observed in the town.

Therefore, the existing shortage or absence in the supply of these services, along with its
commercial and administrative access, better location and infrastructure access, escalating
trend of urbanization and business activities, thus it is with such reason that this project is
identified and proposed and assumed to be more profitable.

In general, the country’s privatized and free market economy; good governance creates a
favorable environment for the development of investment for private investors.

2.5. The significance of the project

The envisaged project deemed to add to the economic development of the nation in general
and zone and town in specific with following ways:

A. Source of Revenue

As public policy of any nation, the government collects different forms of taxes from
different business organizations and individuals. Among the different forms of taxes,
business income taxes, payroll income tax and VAT are collected from undertaking
business activities. Therefore, the building will serve as sources of revenue for the town as
well as for the region.

B. Employment opportunity

One of the problems that our country faced is unemployment. Therefore, the current
objective of the government is working on tackling the problem of unemployment and
fostering the development process either through creating self employment or employment
in other organization. Hence, this project will hire 23 individuals and more than eighty
individual during construction.

C. Sources of social service

In addition to serving as a source of employment and income for the region, the project
renders social services for different group of people. Hence, it is also provide the following
services;

 Serve as a source of mental satisfaction for the different users,

 Since, the center encompasses different recreational areas; it will divert the attention of
the users from different evil deeds.

 It deemed to minimize the demand for shops and other bundles of services in the area.
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed

Furthermore, it serves as the pilot experience and ground for other investor to enter in to
such kinds of urban development. It also contributes on the efforts made on as a character
given building for physical development pattern of the townscape.

2.6. Project Location

Kersa district extends between 70 5-80 00 north latitudes and 360 46-370 14 east longitudes.
It is bordered with limmu ossa and district north Trio A feta district in northeast Omo
Nada district in south east, with Dedo district in south, Manna district in west and seka
chokersa district in south nest It is situated in the central of the zone. Because of
geographical location lie near to the largest market centers like Jimma towns) the district
has great advantage for accessing the local products to the market and creates ideal
condition for provision of the demanded commodities to the local communities.

Sarbo town is a have its own administrative unit (municipal) under Kersa woreda in Jimma
zone of the Oromia regional state.Sarbo town is the Capital town of Kersa district and a
center of socio-economic activity The town is surrounded by rural kebele of Kersa woreda
as it is being the administrative center of Kersa woreda.

The envisioned project is intended to be located in Sarbo town at about 335 km from Addis
Ababa to the south west. The town is selected because of strategic economic hub for
different cash crop like Chat,coffee, and also Fruits and vegetation and livestock. The town
have access to basic social service like 24 hr electric service, telecom, post office, and clean
water. The town’s economic catchment extends beyond the Kersa woreda attracting
investor from Tiro Afeta district and Jimma town as well.

3. The market Study

3.1. Market Analysis

 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

The rapid growth of population along with urbanization, Increasing income and modernity
of town dweller and surrounding population residents are currently purchasing “specialty”
items in Jimma town that will be replaced provided by this project in Sarbo town. Recently
the increase in the price of Chat,Fruit and vegetable,Livestock and coffee has increased the
power of population for market. Town residents and surrounding area population presently
purchase everyday “necessity” items from small scale shop ‘Kiosk’ kebele house which
does not allow satisfactory commercial activity and poor in construction. On the other hand
it’s not convenient to get goods and service in one location which will waste time and price
as well. People who purchase goods from such small shop express dissatisfaction with
availability and price. People travel to Jimma town to fulfill their market demand, and the
same is true for businessman to get convenient rental shop they leave the town.

There are three major customer groups: (1) Local entrepreneurs (2) Diaspora looking for
essential business shop (2) surrounding town businessmen and entrepreneur (3) Whole sale
and distributer of good and service from big city, who look for convenience yet are
relatively price sensitive.

3.2. The Demand-Supply Gap

Sarbo town is situated in very centre of Chat,Coffee Arabica, Crops,fruit and Vegetablex
and fat livestock producing area. The town is a cash crop hub which is highly known for
its Fruit and vegetable,Cereal crop ,Chat and Livestock. Local business man, town resident
and surrounding population reside on income generated from the above product. Recently
the growing demand of Chat,Cereal crop,Fruits and vegetation is increasing from local
market to international market. So the income level of the society is increasing due to the
incrassating price of those products. On the other hand Sarbo town is also a major business
center and commercial route that attracts thousands of business travelers. These are also
the most important groups of potential customers that include both the local and foreign
tourists, commuters and the modern business community who choose services that range
from economic to high class standards.These groups would also choose a healthy
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

comfortable climate that combines a more traditional type with that of modern shops,
offices, bedrooms restaurants and cafeterias. Even though the town is older town in the
region Sarbo town seems to have no developed mixed use building, the existing supply is
far behind the growing demand for standard service. Hence, the project will solve the
serous demand problem in the town.

Over the last decade, there has been a significant growth in the number of local and
international trades across the country. Merchant from Jimma town from central market
and foreign trader starts to come to the town. This increase is mainly associated with the
stimulation of economic activist and partly due to an increase in the flow of international
and local traders in to the town. Since Sarbo town is an important commercial center in
addition there is a significant increase in business activates and hence increasing the
number of traders to the town. Even though there is a lack of quantitative estimates that
number of traders to the town. Even though there is a lack of quantitative estimates that
depict the actual demand and also the annual growth rate Hotel facilities and urban
commercial facilities are scarce in the city. So far in the town there is no development of
such kind standard building and it is the first of its kind in the town and will promote other
investors from the town and the surrounding areas. They are mostly villa type premises
modified as show rooms and sailing posits. As a result there is a large gap between the
developed and that of the supply for modern bed rooms; Bank and cafeteria
accommodation hence this project would not face any problem of demand scarcity for it
business centre and it would provide good service to customers.

3.3. Current supply of mixed use building

Commercial building/office sector has shown a dynamic change in the past few years. The
reason for this could be rapid economic growth and a supporting public infrastructural
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

development. Other factors relevant in the specific case of commercial buildings are the
large increases in national and international businesses, particularly firms in the services
sector.

The business of multipurpose buildings in Sarbo Town in booming highly due to the recent
rapid growth experienced in Ethiopia. As a result, a good number of local and international
organizational are coming in place. Government offices which used to operate in limited
spaces all over the city are also concentrating on leasing new and modern buildings.
Increasing numbers of international organization and NGOs which in the past had typically
converted residences into office space are now moving towards renting whole floors or
even multiple floors in modern city-center commercial buildings.

3.4. Future market or Demand of commercial Building rental

The demand for office space is a derived demand because firms rent space as an input to
the production of services or goods they provide to businesses and households in the local
regional or national economy.

Following our survey of office space users in Sarbo town are mainly firms providing
banking, cafeteria and restaurants, bed room, supermarkets service, computer Center
Crevice. The different customers for commercial buildings also include shops and offices
that are currently renting out to provide their goods and services.

Future demand for office space is actually driven from growth in number of offices in the
city which in turn is influenced by the macro-economic growth in the country. Following
the government five year growth and transformation plan (GTP), the Ethiopian economy
is expected to increase by 11% for base case scenario and 14% under the optimistic case
scenario. Assuming that demand for office space is directly related to the growth in the
economy, the forecast for office space demand is shown in the following table;

3.5. Target customers

The target customers of this envisaged project include:-

1. business Community

2. Nearby business organization

3. Bank and financial institution

4. the government bureau

5. small accounts(SOHO) SME

6. Nongovernmental organizations

3.6. Marketing promotion and strategy

 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

In order to penetrate and gain considerable market share, one of the major marketing
strategies for the project is consistently rendering quality service to its tenants. Due
emphasis must be placed on improving quality of service and facilities. The major
marketing strategies to promote the project and gain considerable market share include:

 Advertising through different means focusing on the existing service and facilities
using FM radio ,Social Media and newspaper.

 Promote in association to the key location and nearby business

 Using advertising means like Banner, Business card, internet channel and pages.

 Working on public relations to reach and influence key personas and organization
with a capacity of making decision.

 Keeping the quality of its service/ facilities and consistently improving with
changing situations.

 Seasonal discount pricing different others customer centric marketing strategies

will be used by the company.

3.7. Competition
There are different forms of competition that may face the envisaged mixed use building.
These are price and non price based competition.Moreover, there are different competitors
that will compete with the project either directly or indirectly. Mixed Use commercial
building desires to set a precedent in Sarbo town as a full service convenience shop, store
and service rendering with an economical image, offering a wide range of competitively
priced products and services in one location. Need of residents and surrounding population
combined with the consistent popularity of convenience market predict a favorable
business climate for MohammedNazif Aba Mecha Mixed use building.

3.8. The project facilities and Services plan

 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

In order to provide mixed use business center building services of a high standard, it has
been planned to construct and develop the infrastructure and facilities that would viable to
meet the requirements of an international standard business center. Accordingly, various
buildings and facilities will be constructed phase by phase starting with the most needed
ones that are essential to commence the operation of its business activities. With the
completion of construction, the building will provide a combined service such as shops,
bedroom, restaurant and café service as well as modern business center that primarily serve
its guests and major clients.

Table 2.The plan is that the ground will be partitioned in to different rooms:

Since the project will be engaged in mixed building the main sources of its annual revenue
would be from the rental of building spaces such as shops, offices, and banking, café &
restaurant bedrooms. Therefore, the sources of revenue have been classified in to one
category namely the rental of banking & supermarket, offices, shops, bedrooms restaurant
and café based on these classifications. Based on the market price of similar mixed use
building in the area, the envisioned buildings set the following fair price (Before VAT) for
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

its service, hence when the building construction fully get operational it is assumed to
generate a yearly income of ETB 971,662.12.

4. Technical Study

4.1. Description of the project Service/ Product mix

The envisioned mixed purpose building will provide different rental services to the
different customer groups for different purpose. The building will have basement, ground
and eight floors. The purpose of the building explained as follows;

 the ground floor, first floor and second floor designed for different business centers
like banks, supermarket, beauty salon(man and women), Computer center,
pharmacy, internet café, boutiques, different shops and other business activities,

 The third floor designed for bed room services.

Besides, the buildings will have enough parking facility for its customers and green area in
its compound.

4.1.1. Land Use Plan

4.2. Construction work and Technology

4.2.1. Construction schedule

The construction project is proposed to be started on February to march 2022, and is

expected to be finished on may 2022. as seen in the abbreviated construction schedule
above, a majority of the schedule’s time is made up of five major activities; Concrete,
building Enclosure, masonry, mechanical & HVAC and Electrical installation. Concrete
activities include processes such as placing foundations and slab on deck.

The Building Enclosure Phase includes erecting the scaffolding that will allow for exterior
sheathing installation and bricklaying.

Mechanical and Electrical install coincide with each other due to the need for coordination
between the two divisions. There are several periods of construction during the schedule
in which there are multiple construction activities occurring at the same time.
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

The construction site must be organized accordingly as these processes take place. As with
any construction project, the goal of the schedule was to complete all construction activities
before the required Date of completion.

This date of completion is practical based on the time of year in which the building will be
completed. The team allowed a two week contingency for any setbacks. Typically, winter
construction tends to cause unforeseen delays that negatively impact a construction project.
These conditions can and will almost undoubtedly impact the project schedule by causing
unforeseen delays and project inefficiency.

4.2.2. Architectural Design & Layout

Although functional spaces for the project were laid out in significant detail, the rest of the
building had designated spaces but n set layouts. It was at the discretion of the project
promoter to devise typical layouts for the non-detailed commercial and office spaces.

To make sure that the building’s layouts were practical, the project owner researched
typical architectural layouts for laboratory and executive office spaces. The walls and
partitions throughout the floor were congruent with the structural frame and column
locations.

4.2.3. Structural design

One of principle deliverables of our project is the structural design of the building. The
structural bays were coordinated with the layout of the building adjustments were made to
the bays if specific layouts are necessary. The frame was made up of a grid with repeating
standard structural bays. Included in the structural system are bay sizes, shape and size of
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

structural members, floor compositions and curtain walls. These elements were established
to resist gravity ad lateral loads as appropriate.

The gravity load design was completed for two frames; one of structural steel and one of
reinforced concrete. The structural steel frame was chosen for further design based on cost
per square foot, local availability of material and constructability considerations, such as
erection and fabrication. The steel system was then designed for lateral loading with
necessary adjustment being made to framing.

4.2.4. Reinforced concrete

The project group prepared hand structural design calculations for a typical bay of a
reinforced concrete frame. In all reinforced concrete bay designs, a superimposed dead
load of 7.5 pounds per square foot was assumed for mechanical equipment, floor coverings
and ceilings.

Similarly, the design of the typical bay accounted for the use of different commercial space,
in which a live load of 125 pounds per square was assumed. Loads were calculated based
on the requirements of the minimum Design loads for Buildings and other Structures.

4.2.5. Foundation Design

The design of a superstructure may be accurate, have considered all possibilities and still
fail because the substructure is incapable of distributing the applied loads to the supporting
soil.

Foundation design takes more into consideration than merely the loading from the columns.
While the main part of the project focused on the structural frame and its alternate designs,
a preliminary foundation plan was designed based upon maximum load carried from the
superstructure through the columns. The foundation design conducted by the project team
consisted of the selection of foundation type, determination of the bearing capacity and the
design for typical interior and exterior spread footings.
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed

4.2.6. Construction Plan and process

The project team developed a coordinated project schedule and construction plans that
would reflect the expectations for an actual construction project. The project schedule was
developed using the preliminary designs given to the project team.

Additionally, the group considered typical construction activities and durations taken from
similar construction projects as well as realistic constraints on building development. For
instance, it is necessary for the structural frame to be completed before concrete can be
placed for the slab on deck. Hand drawn construction plans detailing site entrances and
storage areas were coordinated with the project schedule to give the reader visualizations
of the construction site set up through various periods of the construction process.

The construction process for this project is normally a disjointed three mages development
by which the conceptualized need of the promoter of this project is translated into a
functional facility that will meet their needs in terms of time, cost and quality.

Based on a general program of the project owners the consultant who is going to be hired
makes site studies, develops structural designs, prepares drawings and specifications,
determines quantities involved and estimated the resultants costs. All these activities will
be done in the first phase of the project which is the design stage after the document are
produced by the designers have been received, and the works secured the project is
supposed to enter the tendering stage. At this stage contractors study the project document
analyze and subsequently determine the construction methods, built up their unit rates and
submit their bids for the works. The promoter of this project intends to compare the bids
and award the contract for the lowest responsible bidder. This, is of course, presupposes
that the favorable proposal does not exceed the allocated budget.

After the award is made and the contract signed between this project owner and the
contractor, the project constructor is expected to prepare and submits a detailed
 Project Proposal for Mr.MohammedNazif Aba Mecha G+3 Mixed
use Building construction

construction program which includes material schedule, manpower requirement and cash
flow forecast.

After the award is made and the contract signed between this project owner and the
contractor, the project constructor is expected to prepare and submits a detailed
construction program which includes material schedule, manpower requirement and cash
flow forecast.
