Brothers/Sisters,
We would like to provide an update regarding the construction of the Islamic Life Center (ILC). Recently, we encountered an issue with the placement of the anchor bolts by the concrete contractor, which has necessitated a temporary pause in the construction process.
The construction manager is actively collaborating with the surveyor, structural engineer, concrete, and steel contractors to resolve this issue. As part of the construction change process, the rectification design needs to be approved by the structural engineer of record, after which we will rectify the issue on-site. We anticipate that this process will take approximately 2-3 weeks. Once the anchor bolt issue is resolved, we will proceed with the structural steel erection.
The Board is fully aware of the community's expectations for a timely completion of the ILC. To ensure we meet these expectations, we are exploring additional options to streamline the construction management process.
