Building Committee Monthly Briefing on 15 May 2016

1. Building Development Committee  (BDC) is still waiting for the revised Church Exterior Drawing from Architect.  建堂委員會仍然等候建築師呈交修改後的教會外觀設計圖。

2.  Project Schedule Update

a.  Still waiting for City of Richmond (COR) to approve our Environmentally Sensitive Area Development Permit (ESADP) application, which had been submitted at the end of last year.  We are expecting the results before the end of May 2016.  去年底已向列治文市政府呈交環境敏感區開發許可證 (ESA DP) 申請，批核仍然進行中。 希望五月底便有結果。

b.  Thanks to our Lord who listen to our prayers and the support from brothers & sisters, we are already in touch with Structural, Mechanical and Electrical  Engineers for our project.  We are looking forward to confirm their appointments and begin the design works at the end of the month.  Once we have received the ESA DP approval and confirmed the appointment of Engineers, we will submit our Building Permit (BP) by the end of June to the City of Richmond (COR).  Construction work is then anticipated to commence in August, and we will be able to adhere to our planned timeline and complete the construction by Feb 2017.

感謝神垂聽禱告及弟兄姊妹熱心提供，已與兩位結構工程師、一位機械工程師及兩位電機工程師接洽中，祈望於本月底可落實聘請並展開設計工作。  若五月底環境敏感區開發許可證(ESADP) 順利批出及已聘請到專業工程師，會於六月底前申請建築許可證 (BP)。 建築工程預計於八月動工，可按計劃將於2017年二月完工。
