1. Executive Summary
This project profile deals with real estate development for building houses for rent
in Amhara National Regional State at Debre Birhan town. The following presents
the main findings of the study. Which offers all services such as serviced
residential apartments, business offices, restaurants, cafes, swimming pools,
parking lots and other services required for the project within a safe and
clean environment, due to the need of a particular customers group for a
special real estate product that focuses on quality, location and services?
Demand projection divulges that the domestic demand for home is substantial and
is increasing with time. Accordingly, the planned plant is set to construct above
280 residential homes including other facilities school, health institution and
other facilities. The total investment cost of the project is estimated at Birr
1,100, 000,000 /1.1 billion/ and creates 300 permanent and 6000 temporarily
jobs. The land requirement of its implementation is 25 hectares or 250,000 m2.
The financial result indicates that although the project will generate profit
beginning from the first year of operation the IRR and NPV are not as such
attractive enough to promote the project. That is, the result shows that the
calculated IRR of the project is 19.2% and NPV discounted at 18% of Birr
44,823.85. In addition to this, the project wills payback fully the initial investment
in 5 years’ time.
The major factor for the unattractive result is the relatively high cost of
construction owing to the presence of high material and labor cost in the sector.
Thus, building real estate for rent purpose may not be an attractive business
strategy.

Real estate development is the continual reconfiguration of the
built environment to meet society’s needs. It is a complicated
process involving participation of professionals from different
disciplines, and a business, like other businesses, which
generates income and regular cash flow.
Due to their large scale and component integration, mixed-use
development is the most complex type of real estate.
Consequently, feasibility studies are essential for the success of
mixed-use developments. Real estate feasibility is the formal
demonstration of a proposed project’s viability. Although it does
not guarantee a project’s success, it leads to a go/no go decision.
For decision making in complex and large investments such as
mixed-use real estate developments such a study is required.
Our Philosophies:
a) Commitment:
We, management staffs, are dedicated to perform beyond the contracted and
promised agreement in the sense of partnership. However, at times when
unexpected circumstances happened beyond our control, we then set out to
resolve the difficulty and attend to rectify the situation by notifying our
customers in the right time. Bringing up solutions in a correct, well-considered
and flexible manner is another element of our perception of commitment. We
aspire for and aim at getting it corrected immediately and deliver as promised.

nearly a decade and has established close relationships and good partnership
with suppliers and buyers. These relationships are based on trust, consistence
and performance over many years. We continue to grow with our existing
clients and new ones that we keep adding as we continue to flourish. We always
need the existing customers to go with us long journey and to promote our
business for the new ones. This is happening with our scope, consistency and
performance of supply. We strongly believe that quality in all dimensions is key
factor for good relationships with our clients and suppliers. We provide
unlimited professional technical supports and advices on the nature and
application of our chemicals to our customers.
At Dega Real estate activities plc , we work for our customers to
4
enjoy the highest standards of excellence. We accept 1 00% returns if our items
don’t match with the customers’ requirements. We, at, believe that time is the
all important criterion like quality. We are ready to deliver customer orders not
just on specific date but also at a specified time of the day. Our experience has
helped us to understand the actual operational performances of the sea carriers
as well as inland transporters for practical planning; we always keep the
minimum safety stock in the warehouse for regular supplies for our loyal and
dependent customers. In addition, for the efficient and effective distribution, we
have allied with big, medium and small trucks transporters.
c) Quality
Conformity assessment
Our Company evaluates the supplier competence and good repetition through
sample analysis and Supplier’s Competence Evaluation System. We always
request samples before the bulk order and give trial order for the selected
suppliers which comply to our requirements based on clear specifications.
We take samples from the new arrivals for testing by our own technical staffs,
our customers and the national laboratories (whenever third body conformity
assessment is required), to make sure that the imported chemicals meet the
desired quality requirements.
Technical assistance and after-sales
follow up
Our company provides technical assistance to its customers on the nature
and use of chemicals; and makes after sales follow up to make sure that our
customers are satisfied with the quality of our chemicals. We also provide the
necessary technical assistance to bridge the gap (if any) by providing technical
specification data sheets (TSDS), material safety data sheet (MSDS), certificate
of analysis (COA) and other required information and procedures.

1.1. BACKGROUND OF DEBRE BIRHAN
Demographics
Based on the 2007 national census conducted by the Central Statistical Agency of
Ethiopia (CSA), this town has a total population of 65,231, of whom 31,668 are
men and 33,563 women. The majority of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian
Orthodox Christianity, with 94.12% reporting that as their religion, while 3.32% of
the population said they were Muslim and 2.15% were Protestants.
The 1994 national census reported a total population for Debre Berhan of 38,717 in
8,906 households, of whom 17,918 were men and 20,799 were women. The five
largest ethnic groups reported in the town were the Amhara (90.12%),
the Oromo (3.94%), the Tigrayan (1.81%), the Gurage (1.6%), and
the Argobba (1.2%); all other ethnic groups made up 1.33% of the
population. Amharic was spoken as a first language by 93.81%, Oromiffa was
spoken by 3.04%, and 1.5% spoke Tigrinya; the remaining 1.65% spoke all other
primary languages reported. The majority of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian
Orthodox Christianity, with 94.59% reporting that as their religion, while 4.05%
were Muslim, and 1.02% Protestant.

1.3.1.Climate
Debre Berhan is one of the coolest cities found in the subtropical zone of Ethiopia. The
city has a typical subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb). The average annual
temperature of the city during day and night hour is 20.7 °C and 8.2 °C respectively with
precipitation 964mm.
The Debre Berhan Wool Factory, the first wool factory in Ethiopia, started
production was 1 January 1965 with 120 spindles and 6 looms, having the capacity
to process one metric ton of wool daily. In its first six months, the factory produced
7,065 blankets in a single-shift operation with a labor force of about 200, of whom
45% were women. The Derg government announced 3 February 1975 that the
7
Debre Berhan Wool Factory was among 14 textile enterprises to be fully
nationalised.
The city of Debre Birhan, populated mainly by Amhara, was one of the first
capitals of Ethiopia, then capital of the kingdom of Choa, with Ankober. It was
founded in the 15th century by the Negus Emperor Zara Yakob. He thought he saw
a divine light in the sky one evening, and judged that God approved of the killing
of heretics by stoning which he had ordered. He had a local church built on their
killing ground, and later a palace and a second church dedicated to St. Cyriacus.
Unfortunately, no buildings have survived from this period, and the central church
was built in 1906 by Menelik II in place of the old one. The town is famous for its
carpet production, but also for its woollen factory and its production of araki, a
brandy distilled in the backyards which, according to amateurs, are of very good
quality. The town has the particularity of being twinned with the French town of
Blanc-Mesnil (93), a very active twinning that gives rise to many Franco-Ethiopian
exchanges.
Different local and international investors acclaim the potential of a given country
or city as a preferred investment destination citing the availability of suitable
investment incentives, leaders’ commitment, and public engagement.
Regarding this, the commitment of the leaders is highly appreciated and took the
lions to share in coordinating and strengthening the public, private partnership
which paves ways to induce the sense of ownership towards developing Debre
Berhan- the city found traveling 120kms in the northeast of Addis is exemplary
when compared with other Ethiopian cities.

2. Product Description and Application
Housing is one of the basic human requirements, as every family needs a roof.
Providing shelter to every family has become a major issue as a result of rapid
urbanization and higher population growth. On the other hand, the provision of
house has not kept pace with the above phenomenon and resulted in the
deterioration of living condition, increased health hazarded and rapid growth of
squatter settlements. The improvement of such phenomenon and provision of
affordable housing will not only help alleviate the urban and rural poverty but also
increase the productivity of the population through improved public health. At
present the government is committed to give priority to housing sector and has
demonstrated its commitment by allocating significant resources for its
development, which would contribute to the economy in the form of additional
employment. The multiple effects of the housing and construction sector have the
potential to create maximum employment opportunities besides generating
industrial, commerce and trade activities.
Real estate development is considered one of the sectors with transaction of
billions of birr in the market in Ethiopia. A number of investors have involved in
the development of real estate in Ethiopia. According to the data from Addis
Ababa City Administration Land Management and Construction Licensing
Authority which was collected in the 2011/2012 fiscal year, 124 investors have
received business licenses to work in the real estate development sector of Addis
Ababa (የቤቶች ልማት, 2012).
Residential real estate development contributes to the economy of the country and
in alleviating housing problem. However, researches concerning real estates in
Ethiopia mainly in Addis Ababa show that the real estate development sector faces
different problems and challenges. Problems that exist in the real estate
9
development make the environment susceptible to uncertainty.
An uncertain environment involves risk and compared with many other industries,
the construction industry is subject to more risks due to the unique features of
construction activities (Akintoye &MacLeod, 1997; Flanagan & Norman, 1993;
Smith, 2003). In construction projects, risk may be defined as the likelihood of a
detrimental event occurring to the project. Since the objectives of construction
projects are usually stated as targets established for function, cost, time and quality,
the most important risks in construction are the failure to meet these targets (Baloi
& Price, 2003).
Risks and uncertainties are associated with all projects in real estate development
like any other
construction and commercial activity. These risks and uncertainties can strongly
influence all related progresses at all stages of the entire life cycle of properties
(Chen & Khumpaisal, 2009). However, risks are not always associated with
negative outcomes (Baloi & Price, 2003).
Risk management has become increasingly important for any commercial
organizations operating in today’s environment (Groton, Smith, & Risk Allocation
Sub-Committe, 2010; Mead, 2007; Wiegelmann, 2012) where risks are inherent
(Mead, 2007). It is important that risks are identified, understood, anticipated,
assessed, analyzed, and to learn to manage risks (Groton et al., 2010; Wiegelmann,
2012). “Failure to accurately to identify and make appropriate allowance for risks
being assumed under complex commercial and contractual arrangements can have
terrible consequences.” (Mead, 2007) As part of risk management process, risk
analysis establishes the probabilities of occurrence of adverse events and measures
of the potential impact of risk event outcomes (Edwards & Bowen, 1998).
Risks which exist in real estate development have impacts and developers need to
manage risks and minimize their impact on project objectives and their business as
a whole. It is important to know what risks exist in the real estate development
10
projects and their impact on project objectives.
The motive of this research is to identify the major risk factors existing in real
estate development projects of Addis Ababa and examine the impact of risk factors
on project schedule and cost.

3. Market Study, Plant Capacity and Production
Program
Housing plays a significant role in the economic growth of our country. Moreover,
it is a source of jobs and capital investment as well as an essential contributor to
personal happiness. Nonetheless, there is severe housing problem in the country
where the region of Amhara is not an exception.
As the Housing and Population Census conducted in June 2010 has not yet
publicized, there is no exact and recent figure that details the number and condition
of residential houses in the Amhara National Regional State. As a result, the extent
of housing problem in the respective zonal and woreda capitals could not be
concretely established. But this does not conceal the present housing shortage that
exists in the region.
12
thereby increasing their population. At the same time a number of aid and
development agencies do have their branch offices in many rural towns of the
region. In general the fact that a number of regional government and non-
government employees has increased in all urban centers while there is a general
increase in urban population throughout the Amhara region, put a tremendous
pressure in the housing problem. As a result, it created extreme shortage of houses
to be rented in every urban center of the Region. This is one of the most difficult
problems facing employees of various offices (governmental and non-
governmental) operating in the region.
Due to the shortage of houses, the employees are forced to live in sub-standard
houses. This in turn has created a discouraging factor for people to work at the
zonal and woreda level. As a result some employees are even forced to stay in
hotels throughout the year indicating the degree of the problem. All this suggest
the presence of huge demand for construction of homes for rent and/or sale. One
possible solution for this major problem is to encourage investors to build low cost
houses for rent for people working in zonal and woreda capital.
13
3.1.3 Pricing and Distribution
The rent fee for a residence is set to be Birr 10,200 per month. This is the
minimum possible price that makes the envisaged project feasible. The estimated
selling price of the real estate house is 50,000,000 birr.
3.2Plant Capacity
Given the expected demand for residential houses as presented earlier, the planned
technology and capacity, the envisaged plant is set to construct 280 residences
within school ,health institution, playing game and other service that require for
each real estate infrastructure. Each home shall have two bed rooms, one living
room, one kitchen and one toilet.
3.3Construction Program
The construction of the envisaged project will be completed within 12-18 months.
This includes excavation and earth work as well as erecting the building (i.e.,
concrete and masonry works). Once the homes are build it is assumed that all of
them will be rented. In other words, it is assumed that the proposed plant will
operate at 100 percent capacity starting from the first year of operation.
The major raw materials in constructing the residences are sand, cement, HCB,
steel, toilet fittings, sewerage and water pipes, crushed stone, lighting accessories,
PVC pipes, wires, steel door and windows, paints and corrugated iron sheet. While
the envisaged plant produces its own HCB, other materials such as crushed stone
14
and sand will be purchased from sources available in the different parts of the
region.
The material requirement and the associated cost while constructing 280 homes is
detailed under section 6.3
The envisioned project will locate in Debre Birhan town, North showa zone, in
Amaharas national regional state, which is located in central Ethiopia, in Amaharas
national regional state, North showa zone at a distance of 130 kms from Addis
Ababa.A site in the region which very close to the real estate building and other
infrastructures are available.

The alternative approach is the use of mud in the construction. This will entail
below standard output and entails huge maintenance cost in the future. Hence such
alternative is not recommended.
Mechanical and Electrical install coincide with each other due to the need for
coordination between the two divisions. There are several periods of construction
during the schedule in which there are multiple construction activities occurring at
the same time.
The construction site must be organized accordingly as these processes take place.
As with any construction project, the goal of the schedule will to complete all
construction activities before the required Date of completion.
This date of completion is practical based on the time of year in which the building
will be completed. The team allowed a two week contingency for any setbacks.
Typically, winter construction tends to cause unforeseen delays that negatively
impact a construction project. These conditions can and will almost undoubtedly
impact the project schedule by causing unforeseen delays and project inefficiency.
Although functional spaces for the project were laid out in significant detail, the
rest of the building had designated spaces but set layouts. It was at the discretion of
the project promoter to devise typical layouts for the non-detailed commercial and
16
office spaces. To make sure that the building’s layouts were practical, the project
owner researched typical architectural layouts for laboratory and executive office
spaces. The walls and partitions throughout the floor will congruent with the
structural frame and column locations.
One of principle deliverables of the project is the structural design of the building.
The structural bays were coordinated with the layout of the building adjustments
will be made to the bays if specific layouts are necessary. The frame will be made
up of a grid with repeating standard structural bays. Included in the structural
system are bay sizes, shape and size of structural members, floor compositions and
curtain walls. These elements were established to resist gravity ad lateral loads as
appropriate.
The gravity load design will completed for two frames; one of structural steel and
one of reinforced concrete. The structural steel frame will chose for further design
based on cost per square foot, local availability of material and construct ability
considerations, such as erection and fabrication. The steel system will then
designed for lateral loading with necessary adjustment being made to framing.
The project group prepared hand structural design calculations for a typical bay of
a reinforced concrete frame. In all reinforced concrete bay designs, a superimposed
dead load of 8 pounds per square foot will be assumed for mechanical equipment,
floor coverings and ceilings.
Similarly, the design of the typical bay accounted for the use of different
commercial space, in which a live load of 1000 pounds per square was assumed.
Loads will be calculated based on the requirements of the minimum Design loads
for Buildings and other Structures.
17
6.2.5 Foundation Design
Foundation design takes more into consideration than merely the loading from the
columns. While the main part of the project focused on the structural frame and its
alternate designs, a preliminary foundation plan was designed based upon
maximum load carried from the superstructure through the columns. The
foundation design conducted by the project team consisted of the selection of
foundation type, determination of the bearing capacity and the design for typical
interior and exterior spread footings.
The construction process for this project is normally a disjointed three mages
development by which the conceptualized need of the promoter of this project is
translated into a functional facility that will meet their needs in terms of time, cost
and quality.
Based on a general program of the project owners the consultant who is going to be
hired makes site studies, develops structural designs, prepares drawings and
specifications, determines quantities involved and estimated the resultants costs.
All these activities will be done in the first phase of the project which is the design
stage after the document are produced by the designers have been received, and the
works secured the project is supposed to enter the tendering stage. At this stage
contractors study the project document analyze and subsequently determine the
construction methods, built up their unit rates and submit their bids for the works.
The promoter of this project intends to compare the bids and award the contract for the lowest
responsible bidder. This, is of course, presupposes that the favorable proposal does not exceed
the allocated budget.
18
After the award is made and the contract signed between this project owners and
the contractor, the project constructor is expected to prepare and submits a detailed
construction program which includes material schedule, manpower requirement
and cash flow forecast.
After the award is made and the contract signed between this project owner and the
contractor, the project constructor is expected to prepare and submits a detailed
construction program which includes material schedule, manpower requirement

To minimize the investment cost, the envisaged plant shall obtain the above stated
machineries and equipment’s on rent basis. The cost of the rent is included in the
construction cost.
The total site area for the construction of 280 residences is estimated to be 250,000
m2. The structure and construction is designed in such a way that each home will
share 2 walls with its adjacent homes so as to minimize construction cost. The

served
The construction of the homes requires a number of skilled semi-skilled and daily
laborers. This includes civil engineer, foreman, electrician, operators and daily
laborers. They shall remain employed until the construction is completed.
However, the duration of employment in most cases is on piece rate and hence will
depend on the type of job and the time it takes. In general, the cost of these
27
personnel shall form part of the initial investment cost and therefore, is included in
cost estimation presented in table 3.

6.5 Training Requirement
In the construction period, the plant shall hire foremen and other skilled laborers
that do have some experience in home building. Thus, the envisaged plant as such
does not need to provide training of personnel. Whenever required, however, the
plant shall provide on job training on aspects of the construction technology and
trouble shooting.
8. Financial Analysis
8.1. Underlying Assumption
The financial analysis of real estate development for rent is based on the data
provided in the preceding chapters and the following assumptions.
B, Depreciation
Building 5%
Machinery and equipment 10%
Office furniture 10%
Vehicles 20%
Pre-production (amortization) 20%
29
8.2. Total Investment cost
The total Construction cost of the project is estimated at Birr 1.1 billion as shown
in table 4 below. The Owner shall contribute 30% of the finance in the form of
equity while the remaining 70% is to be financed by bank loan.

8.3. Financial evaluation
I. Profitability
According to the projected income statement attached in the annex part (see annex
3) the project will generate profit beginning from the first year of operation.
However, the result is obtained after setting a quite high price (rent fee) that
undoubtedly is affordability by the majority of the target group. The main factor
for the unattractive result is the relatively high cost of construction owing to the
presence of high material and labor cost in the sector. The consultant also found
that for a one bed room home the rent fee has to be about Birr 850 so as to obtain
the minimum feasible result. Thus, building real estate for rent purpose may not be
an attractive business strategy and it explains to some extent the reason for not
having real estate developers solely for rent purpose. Therefore, the appropriate
approach should be real estate building for sale.
II. Breakeven Analysis
Investment cost and income statement projection are used in estimating the project
payback period. The projects will payback fully the initial investment in five years.
For the envisaged plant the simple rate of return equals to 18.5%
31
V. Internal Rate of Return and Net Present Value
Based on cash flow statement described in the annex part, the calculated IRR of the
project is 19.2% and the net present value at 18 % discount is Birr 44,823.85
The envisaged project possesses some benefits that help promotes the socio-
economic goals and objectives stated in the strategic plan of the Amhara National
Regional State. These benefits are listed as follows
A. Profit Generation
The project earns a profit of Birr 41.7 million within the project life. Nonetheless,
the present value of the profit after deducting the initial investment cost is
insignificant.
B. Tax Revenue
In the project life under consideration, the region will collect tax amounting to Birr
30 million per annum.
