Written for Ethiopian sites.
Not a translated foreign manual. The examples, rules and problems are the ones you meet on a building site in Ethiopia.
- Refers to EBCS and the Eurocode-based ES EN codes, and explains C-25 cube strength notation.
- Covers employer and worker safety duties under Labour Proclamation No. 1156/2019.
- Costs and valuations in ETB, with 15% VAT, retention and advance recovery worked through.
- Plans around the kiremt rains, Ethiopian public holidays and power interruptions.
- Local practice: HCB walls, petty contractors, cement supply problems, ready-mix with pumps.
- Keeps law, contract and good practice apart, so you know which requirement governs.
Questions engineers ask.
Who is this for?
Fresh civil engineering graduates, junior and assistant site engineers, construction supervisors, resident engineers and project managers working on building projects.
What software do I need?
Microsoft Word and Excel 2010 or later, or LibreOffice, and a PDF reader. The Excel workbook has no macros, so it opens without security warnings.
Is it in English or Amharic?
The documents are in English, the language most drawings, specifications and contracts use. They are written in plain, practical English.
Can I use the Excel workbook on my own project?
Yes. You get a sample file with the full G+2 data to learn from and a blank file ready for your project.
Can I use the forms on my company's projects?
Yes. Edit them, add your company name and use them on your sites. Sharing or reselling the files is not allowed.
I work for a consultant. Is it useful for me?
Yes. The inspection requests, NCRs, site instructions, registers and handover forms work for supervision as well as for contractors.
How much is it, and how do I get the files?
655 ETB, paid once. Buy on Ye-Buna and pay through Chapa. As soon as the payment is confirmed you are taken to your download page, with the complete package as one ZIP file.
