Ivory Coast is starting construction this month of a tower in its commercial capital, which is looking to become Africa’s tallest building.
Abidjan’s 283-metre “F tower” seeks to clinch the title from the Great Mosque of Algiers, the project manager Besix Group said in a statement Monday.
The current holder was completed in 2019, peaking at 265 metres.
But it’s a race to the top with Cairo’s Iconic Tower, which is expected to be 385 metres high and which is already under construction.
The project is an Ivorian government initiative, in partnership with Abidjan-based PFO Africa, the project’s designer and developer, and Belgium’s Besix, which is also executing the structural works.slide 1 of 1

Road construction & Building construction
Design, finance, and legal aspects overlap and interrelate. The design must be not only structurally sound and appropriate for the use and location, but must also be financially possible to build, and legal to use. The financial structure must accommodate the need for building the design provided, and must pay amounts that are legally owed.
Sustainability in construction
Commercial building construction is procured privately or publicly utilizing various delivery methodologies, including cost estimating, hard bid, negotiated price, traditional, management contracting, construction management-at-risk, design & build and design-build bridging.
Construction Of New Buildings
The size of an apartment or house can be described in square feet or meters. In the United States, this includes the area of “living space”, excluding the garage and other non-living spaces. The “square meters” figure of a house in Europe may report the total area of the walls enclosing the home

The data on new home sales is a leading economic indicator. It signals how the housing market will do in nine months. That’s how long it takes to construct new homes. The NAHB also reports new home starts, those are the number of home construction projects on which ground is broken.
A construction project is a complex net of contracts and other legal obligations, each of which all parties must carefully consider. A contract is the exchange of a set of obligations between two or more parties
The time element in construction means that a delay costs money, and in cases of bottlenecks, the delay can be extremely expensive. Thus, the contracts must be designed to ensure that each side is capable of performing the obligations set out. Motor vehicle crashes are another major safety hazard.
Legal advisors in the beginning of a construction project seek to identify ambiguities and other potential sources of trouble in the contract structure, and to present options for preventing problems. Throughout the process of the project, they work to avoid and resolve conflicts that arise.
