DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF HOTEL BUILDING IN NEKEDE COMMUNITY
ABSTRACT
This integrated project has gone beyond imaginable and was aim at evaluating the problems that faces Nekede community. The project, Design and construction of hotel building in Nekede community was brought out as a result of lack of standard hotel for Nekede community. In Nekede community, most at times visitors coming in and other people find it difficult in locating where to lodge or have realization and catch some firms within the vicinity. This project will go a long way in solving most of this problem by finding out the appropriate site suited for the construction of a well standard hotel for Nekede community and the site will also be easy to access for both visitors and community people who will love to lodge or have fun. The study will also determine the topography, weather conditions and soil characteristics nature of the selected site. The specification, construction process and work programme down to handling over to the project.
CHAPTER ONE
FEASIBILITY AND VIABILITY STUDY
The feasibility and viability study of design and construction of hotel was carried out to ascertain the buildability of the construction of hotel for Nekede community. The Research of this study was done within the Nekede community, the proposed site is at umunofocha Nekede, situated at a strategic point for easy access opposite maternity bus-stop, along south Africa Road. The area of proposed site is about 39900mmx33900mm which will be okay for the propose project.
The geographical and climatic weather of the proposed site is such a quiet place for any construction such like hotel and other building because the area is still developing and the existing building around the proposed site are quite far from the propose site.
The topography of the proposed site at Umuofocha South Africa has some features of trees and shrubs and the site is a virgin land, a standard Laboratory test was carried out on the same virgin site, the aim of this test is to established the water content of the soil and also to ascertain the soil characteristic and at such its bearing capacity, the result obtain on this test enables us to design and construct a standard hotel for the Nekede community.
The method used in our soil sample collection is Hand Auger hole suitable for any depth of soil sample collection. The research conducted also shows that, the site is free from underground operation service (such as pipeline, underground electricity wiring and cable services) and it is also accessible to facilities like transportation, electricity and water.
The Research study of River side hotel located at Umuerim extension along Futo Nekede road is a good constructed hotel within Nekede community but the feasibility study shows that the site where the hotel was build is not good because the area is too small and a lot of building surrounding it causing discomfort to some occupant of the nearby building.
Finally, the feasibility and viability study of the proposes site located at Umuofocha, Nekede South Africa opposite Maternity bus-stop shows that the site is at a strategic place easier access.
