Dhaka Meetings and Shopping

Last week we traveled Malumghat - Cox's Bazaar - Dhaka - Chittagong - Malumghat.  We had meetings with a potential general contractor, the main project architect, structural engineer, electrical engineer and the engineer preparing the BOQ (bill of quantities) and the specification for tendering the hospital project.  We are continuing to progress.  It was helpful to have Dr. Kelley back to translate when needed!

While in Dhaka, we headed to the construction material shopping area on Nawabpur Road.  We purchased a few samples and literally flew back to Chittagong with bricks in our backpacks! We also discovered and ordered a floor buffer (seems rare) for terrazzo/mosaic flooring (very common) which we plan to test on our house for potential hospital maintenance in the future.







Internet access has been very poor for the past few weeks hence the lack of posts but we will try to take the opportunities we have to write updates:)
