The progress update summarizes construction work from October 10-23. Excavations began for the new basement and perimeter walls. The building footprint was laid out and pad foundations excavated. Insulation, reinforcement and formwork were installed in preparation for concrete pours. New internal flooring was completed where staircases were removed. Mechanical and electrical work began inside the existing building. Photos showed internal damp proofing of basement walls and drainage installation before concrete pours. Planned work for the next two weeks includes completing the basement slab pour and excavating pad foundations for the ground floor.
