Kathmandu Commercial Tower
A 14-storey commercial building with three basement levels on a constrained inner-city plot, delivered on a design-build basis with a fixed seven-day floor cycle.
Six residential blocks totalling 240 units with associated site infrastructure, built to a benchmark-unit standard with phased handover by block.
Quality drift across 240 repeated units is the principal risk to handover.
Site infrastructure has to be complete before the first block is occupied, while later blocks are still under construction.
The site slopes 9 m across its length, requiring terraced platforms and retaining structures.
An approved benchmark unit fixes the accepted standard, and every unit is inspected against the same checklist derived from it.
Site infrastructure is being built in a permanent-first sequence so that occupied blocks are served by final, not temporary, services.
Terracing and retaining structures were designed to balance cut and fill on site, eliminating imported fill and disposal.
Wet areas are flood-tested and signed off before any covering work — a fixed hold point in the inspection plan.

A municipal supply scheme covering intake, treatment, storage and 46 km of distribution network, delivered through occupied streets with continuity of existing supply maintained.
Reconstruction of 6.5 km of city streets with covered drainage, footpaths and utility coordination, sequenced so each street was opened only once.
