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.

Limu shay 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 Nasir Aba Bulgu, whom are resident for long time in
the district planned to construct mixed use building in Limu shay 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,
boutiques, textile fashion, baby clothe, assembly hall and other activities, pharmaceutical,
as well as novelty items. Recently Limu shay 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.

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 especially in Addis Ababa one can easily conclude that
the momentum is more likely to continue.

Besides, the government policies 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
Limu shay 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.

 To develop modern business center 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 Goma woreda
and surrounding woreda. In Limu shay town this is shortage of mixed use building that
promote efficient marketing. The closest activity is only in Agaro which is far away by
20 km from Limu shay 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 Limu shay town
beside its being a center of market for nearby kebeles like Limu sapa, Meti Koticha \ and
surrounding Goma woreda rural kebele areas traveler from those kebeles will shop
commodities from the town, the population demand for product and service increase and
the merchant have no favorable shop to satisfy their customer demand and offers a
significant secondary target market for Commercial use building. The limited number of
mixed use building along the town, 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 to render banking and insurance, shopping facility, and cafeteria services to create

 Project Proposal for Mr. Nasir Aba Bulgu G+2 Commercial use Building construction

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. Mr Nasir Aba Bulgu mixed commercial building is reliable business center
renovating G+2 story building for mixed use in Limu shay 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 25 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.

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

The area is located in Oromia Regional State, Jimma Zone, Gomma district Limu Shaye.
The total land the farmer have is 50 hactares. Gomma district extends between 70 40-80
04 north latitudes and 360 17’-360 46’ east longitudes. It is bordered with Gumay district
north, Limmu kossa distrct in east, Manna district in southeast, with Seka chokersa in
south and Gera district in west. It is situated in the central of the zone. Because of
geographical location (i.e. near to the largest market centers like Jimma and Agaro
towns) the district has a great advantage for accessing the local products to the market
and creates ideal condition for provision of the demanded commodities to the local
communities. It has a total surface area of 936.58 Km 2 993657.72 hectare that accounted
4.8 % of the total area of jimma Zone.

Limu Shaye town is a have its own administrative unit (municipal) under Gomma woreda
in Jimma zone of the Oromia regional state. Limu Shaye town is a center of socio-
economic activity the town is surrounded by rural kebele of Gomma woreda.

The envisioned project is intended to be located in Limu Shaye 26 km from Agaro city
and about 70 km from jimma city and at about 420 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’s economic
catchment extends beyond the Gomma woreda.

3. The market Study

3.1. Market Analysis

 Project Proposal for Mr. Nasir Aba Bulgu G+2 Commercial 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 Agaro town that will be replaced provided by this project in Limu
shay 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

Limu Shaye 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 Limu Shaye
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 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 Limu Shaye 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 Limu Shaye 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 center 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 development. Other factors relevant in the specific case of commercial

1

 Project Proposal for Mr. Nasir Aba Bulgu G+2 Commercial use Building construction

buildings are the large increases in national and international businesses, particularly
firms in the services sector.

The business of multipurpose buildings in Limu Shaye 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 Limu shay 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;

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 Limu shay 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 Mr Abdurahim Abdo Commercial use
building

3.8. The project facilities and Services plan

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:

Total

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 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

4.2.1. Construction schedule

The construction project is proposed to be started on June to September 2025, and is

expected to be finished on January 2026. 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.

1
[Author Name]

 Project Proposal for Mr. Nasir Aba Bulgu G+2 Commercial 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 structural members, floor compositions and curtain walls. These elements
were established to resist gravity ad lateral loads as appropriate.

1

 Project Proposal for Mr. Nasir Aba Bulgu G+2 Commercial use Building construction

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.

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.
