1 Introduction
1.1. General
The current fast and dynamic economic growth of Ethiopia especially in urban area (specifically
in Agaro Town) necessitates equivalents growth of building and construction sector. The sector
should be expanding rapidly to support the overall economic development sustainably.
In the building sector of the economy, the commercial center one become common and expands
in urban areas of the nation since dynamic economic development of urban economy requires the
construction of the buildings in towns to support the growing of business service sectors like
shops, offices, supermarkets, cinemas, beauty salons, cafeterias, restaurant, meeting hall and
other activities. In this regard, mixed used building expands in the all parts of the country mainly
in Addis Ababa and regional towns.
Ethiopian Government and Oromia regional urban land laws and policies initiate and support
individual or group of some people for developing urban land to overcome poverty in our
country. Accordingly, Trading Organization, Walin PLC has request the local administration of
Agaro Town to invest on urban land by constructing commercial center building. Following their
request the local administration allow them based on urban development laws and policies which
highly support a group of peoples (shareholder investor) need to invest on urban land.
To this effect, the owner of the envisioned Commercial Building, Trading Organization Walin
PLC is planned to invest in Agaro Town and undertaken this project study to check the
market, technical and financial feasibility of project .The result of the study is very sound and
promising for the owner to start the project in the area.
The promoter is very ambitious and committed to realize the project. Hence, the share company
expects to get the necessary from the city administration to make the project to be operational.
The project owner shareholders, Trading Organization Walin PLC are experienced in different
business activities. Therefore, from their past experience shareholders will successfully run and
become profitable from this planned commercial building development.
Investment and project development play an important role in any emerging markets or
economies property generally comprises residential houses and commercial services (mainly
commercial center use buildings) developed for rental business and sales. The Property
investment market in Ethiopia remained under developed for several years. As a consequence,
the supply of residential houses and non-residential real estate that can be used for residence,
office space, shopping malls and catering services in the urban centers of the country is
disproportionately low to cope with the growing demand in the country spinning from the
average growth in GDP of 5.5 percent over the last ten years and population increase. The
relatively good performance of the macro-economy (real growth in GDP, low inflation rate and
growth in investment and export sector) has stimulated unprecedented investment growth in the
property sector over the last five years. The growth of investment in the property market over the
last five years is consistent with the global experience suggesting the investment in the
residential and commercial property is greatly influenced by the performance of the macro-
economy conditions. In general, a stable macro- economic conditions leads to economic and
business growth and develops investors’ confidence this certainly encourage large demand in
the property market for office space, shopping malls, catering services. The future 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.
Looking at the past trends and permits issued by the government to the construction of mixed use
building properties including the commercial building in the major urban areas of the country,
one can conclude that the momentum is more likely to continue.
Besides, the government police and incentives for the private sector investment are very
promising that motivates the promoter to engaged in mixed use building business.
i. Urban Development
Flexible and appropriate urban land laws and policies would allow the citizens to participate in
land development and this in turn can minimize illegal settlements and foster sustainable urban
land development. On the other hand, the investment increase the Aesthetic of the town, improve
trading activity in town, locally availability of resources for the community, attraction of other
investors, etc. which threat to sustainable land development.
The Project will provide better building service on renting base. In doing this, the building will
provide quality building service for different purpose.

Project Proposal 2023
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 source of revenue for the town as well as for the region.
One of the problems that our country faced is unemployment. Therefore, the current objective of
the government is working on the tackling the problem of unemployment and fostering the
development process either through creating self-employment or employment in other
organization. Hence, this project will open different job opportunity at different stage of this
project including the following;
At design Stage: at this stage it creates job opportunity for minimum 8 professions (1
Architect, 1 Structural Engineer, 1 Electrical Engineer, 1 Sanitary Engineer, 1 Quantity
Surveyor, Soil Expert, Draft Person, etc.).
At Construction Stage: At this stage for two years period the project will open jop opportunity
on average; 1 site engineer, 1 construction foreman, 1 time keeper, 2 carpenters, 2 mason, 1
electrician, 2 Skilled laborer (for mixer, vibrato and other machine operators), 16 Daily labors,
consultant (supervisor), 1 store keeper, 1-purchesor, 1 guard, etc. on constant basis. That means
the project create job opportunity for 30 individuals on constant bases for a period of two years.
In addition the project will form for some experts for short period of time like sanitary
installation, glass work, metal work, painter, etc.
Post Construction Stage: It will open the following opportunity:-
a) Administration of the project (management team):1-Manager, 1-Office Manager
(Secretary), 1- Accountant, 2-Reciption, 4-Guards and 4-cleaner.
b) Project user (shopping): For about 15-shoping individuals. Each shopping including
two workers and totally 30 citizen job opportunities.
c) Restaurant and Cafeteria Service: job opportunity for 1-manager, 1-accountant, 4-
chief, 5-custemor service, 2-cleaner.
d) Office service: for 6 individuals.
Accordingly, the project will planned to open job opportunity for about 80 citizens throughout
the Project (building) life after construction.
As a corporate responsibility the building will engage different development activities for the
surrounding area. This will transfer technology for the community and contribute for the
development of the nation.
1.6. Location of the Project
Country: Ethiopia
Agaro,
Town: N 7º51′, E 36º35
The project will be specifically located in one of the central business zone of the city. For the
purpose of this study, the organizers identified a market drawing area that comprises the areas
where major demand generators (such as larger employers, commercial developments, and
tourism organizations) as well as the areas including in Gera, Guma, Goma, and other
surrounding areas. These areas were used to evaluate overall area growth trends of economic
indicators such as population retail sales, eating and drinking sales, and effective buying income.
In addition to the above surrounding towns and areas took into consideration different
manufacturing industries planed and constructed in cities like cement factory, gypsum factory,
creasier site and building projects used for hotel and commercial purpose are one of our focuses
to develop this business and in the country’s access to visitors from a 200-mile radius
surrounding Ethiopia. Approximately 25,458 people live within the city and about 4,000
passengers pass through the town per day.
The population base in the market drawing area is project by the Ethiopian Government Census
Bureau to increase by approximately. Based on figures from the central statistical Agency in
2007, Agaro town has an estimated total population of 25,458. This area, to a certain degree may
also generate demand for the subject market.
Population growth (annual %) in Ethiopia was reported at 2.5018 % in 2016, according to the
World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources.
Based on this data when we forecast for 2018, 13 year; Population of 2018 =
𝑷𝒐𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟓 ∗ (𝟏 + 𝒊) where, i=2.5018% and n=16.
Hence, population of at 2023 is estimated to be 37,792 people.

Dega; Agaro town has conducive climate condition for the human
Climate settlement and the growth different types of crops. Since town is
found in the central highland the weather condition is suitable for
Human settlement.
Other than being employed in government and private organization, most of the population of
the town is engaged in trading activities be it formal or informal. Unlike the urban people, the
rural population is engaged in farming.
Accordingly, the Ethiopia Government has developed different urban infrastructure development
polices. This polices include different manufacturing, recreation area, hotels, commercial
centers, and other infrastructure investment of the country. Based on the country and specifically
oromia regional state investment procedure the Agaro town has plan different land.
investment program and arranging (organizing) different private share company for the town
urban land development.
Commercial building/office sector has shown a dynamic change in the past few years in the
country. Moreover, currently share holder company investment is becoming familiar and
initiated and supported by government policy for sharing/distributing service for more number of
citizens rather than one individual person.
The reason for this could be rapid economic growth and supporting sustainable public
infrastructural development which have great input in solving poverty and unemployment
currently increasing in the country. Other factors relevant in the specific case of commercial
building are increasing spontaneously in national and international businesses, particularly firms
in the services sector.
The business of commercial center building is booming highly due to the recent rapid growth
experienced in Ethiopia. As a result a good number of local and international organizations 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 government
organization, different manufacturing factories, bank services, international organizations, and
NGOs which in the past had typically increasing rental price of the multipurpose building within
the city.
Scattered data from central statistical Authority of Ethiopia (CSA) on building permits were
available from 1998/1999 till 2000/2001 indicated the number of permits as well as site area.
Data from CSA indicated that a total of 720 commercial building permits were granted during
the three years that is an average building permit of 240 under review period. However, data for
2001/2002 is not available. Therefore, assuming the average number of annual building permits
growth rate over the three years, the number of permits granted would reach 240 building
making total building permits between 1998/1999 till 2001/2002 at 960 for commercial
buildings.
Since 2002/2003, building permits were granted at the Addis Ababa city Administration level for
all buildings. Hence data obtained from construction regulatory and capacity building Authority
indicated that a total of 6,255 permits were given and the estimated total building permits from
1998 till 2009/2010 has reached 13,017 buildings.
In addition, building permits in the past five years only, i.e. 2005/2006 till 2009/2010 was a total
of 3,122 out of which 40% were granted for commercial buildings. Therefore, total commercial
buildings that have been granted permits from 1998/1999 until 2004/2005 in Addis Ababa
include 3,834 that is (13,017-3122)*40% buildings.
On the other hand, following the scattered data available analysis from CSA, percentage of
commercial building based on level or number of storey were computed as shown in the table
below.
Building Percentage
1 storey 29.7%
2 storey 11.5%

Based on CSA data Computation
It is important to note that in recent years the trears the trend is moving towards taller buildings
but data is not readily available. The above data is taken for office space computation purpose
and is only an estimate. In addition, commercial building shop space supply only includes data
from 1998 onwards. Building space that existed before this time is not included in the study.
Moreover data from construction Regulatory and capacity Building office of the Addis Ababa
city Administration was used for 2005/2006 till 2009/2010 to forecast the supply of office space
for the next five years. In addition, it has been assumed that an average of 5 years is required to

build commercial a minimum of five stores.
Following our survey of office space users in Ethiopia and specifically in Gerbe Guracha Town
we make market study of building project investment used for Office, café and restaurant and
Shopping centers. As per our condition survey of the town office space users firm are mainly
firms providing banking, insurance, cafes and restaurants, supermarkets and management
institutions, Colleges, IT information/Internet cafe service, Cement factory, Gypsum factory,
Crasher Site, Engineering Institutions (contractor and consultant), health organization, Legal and
accounting service providers which are primarily professional businesses. In addition,
government services and some NGOs are opting to lease large space of commercial building.
Moreover, according to the actual town business center status, different customers for
commercial building also include shops and game zone areas those 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:
I. Business community (shopping centers, Banks and Insurance, café and restaurant
game zones, etc.)
II. Nearby business organizations
III. The government bureau
IV. Small accounts and legal service
V. Nongovernmental organizations

SN Description Land in M2
Although functional spaces for the project were laid out in significant detail, the rest of the
building has designated spaces nut no 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.
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 and 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
adjustments being made to framing.
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 (EBCS).
The design of a superstructure may be accurate, have considered all possibilities and still fail
because the substructure is in capable 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 loads 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 design for typical interior and exterior spread footings.
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.
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.
The project team developed a coordinated project schedule and construction plans that would
reflect the expectation for an actual construction project. The project schedule was developed
using the preliminary designs give 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 stages development by
which the conceptualized need of the promoter of this project is translated in to a functional
facility that will meet their needs in terms, 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 construction program which
includes material schedule, man power requirement and cash flow forecast.
3.4. Utilities
A number of utilities would be put in place in order to ensure smooth functioning of the project.
These utilities include:

5.1. Approach
This economic appraisal exercise has been done in order to assess the benefits of the project to
economy in construction of building i.e. Commercial Building in Gebre Guracha Town which is
156km from Addis Ababa and one of good locally available commercial centre town in North
Shoa. This exercise has been carried out by using socio-economic cost benefit analysis:
The model analysis the total transport costs of alternative project initial construction and
maintenance strategies through the life cycle economic evaluation. The program provides
detailed modelling of pavement deterioration and maintenance effects, and calculates annual
costs of road construction, maintenance, vehicle operation and travel time. Thus we use this
concept to estimate the above three potential cost mentioned.
We use two approaches or alternative for the economic feasibility study of the proposed project:
The appropriate input data and information for the both scenario has been conducted on
assumption base. The project has been designed to meet a certain level of service of the
surrounding project area. In addition the design has impact on availability of goods at right time
and place within the town. However, economic analysis brings two together (cost and benefit)
and weighs them to assess the returns on the investment proposed for design.
Using Cost-Benefit analysis concept; operation cost, maintenance cost and user cost has been
made on a yearly basis for the entire project appraisal period, i.e. 25 years starting from 2020,
assuming as opening of the project for service. The concept behind concept is that if project
(building) is constructed, the benefit will be the increased accessibility of goods locally for
society, increased city beauty, and trading activity between the societies, Increased job
opportunity, Increased communication within country, etc.
It may be pertinent to bring out that the investment in the building project, offering good
commercial activity, would lead to an overall improvement in the country and economic
development.

According to the projected income statement, the building will start generating profit in the 2 nd
year of operation. Important ratios such as profit to total sales, net profit to equity (return on
equity) and net profit plus interest on total investment(return on total investment) show an
increasing trend during the life time of the project. The income statement and the other indicators
of profitability show that the project is viable.
Use Present Worth analysis: Cash flow show geometric gradient series.

PW = 384,040.18 ETB
PW = 11,339,030.76 ETB
Note: Building depreciation is assumed to be 4 % per year. Based on this the project life
is estimated to be, N=25 Years.
PW=1,521,950.00ETB
PW = 5,785,621.81 ETB
= 5,553,408.95 ETB
Result of Analysis
Therefore, based on result of economic evaluation with present worth and benefit/cost
ratio analysis with project (scenario-2) is selected when compared to without project
Senario-1.
The payback period is the time required for the amount invested in an asset to be repaid by
the net cash flow generated by the asset. It is a simple way to evaluate the risk associated
with a proposed project. An investment with a shorter payback period is considered to be
better, since the investor's initial outlay is at risk for a shorter period of time. The
calculation used to derive the payback period is called the payback method and estimation
shown in table below;
As you can see, in year 4, the cumulative cash flow sign changes from negative to positive,
meaning that at some point between year 3 and 4, costs (the summation of Investment cost at
time year-0 or opening year and annual running cost) would be recovered by generated profit.
So, the payback period is somewhere in third year. To calculate the fraction, we can simply
calculate from the -479,816.85 (Cumulative Cash Flow in year 2) and 83,302.59 (Net Cash Flow
in year 3). Therefore, the payback period equals: 2.85 years.
Hence, the building’s total investment cost will be fully recovered at the 2.85 year of operation.
