A new and modern church is planned at Ålgård. The church building comprises two floors totalling 1 550 m², and is planned as a signature building in the city centre, and will accommodate various activities. The congregation is working on a possible extension of the basement by approx. 400 m², to be used for children's and youngster's activities.

Presently, the Awarding Authority has ordered a weather proofed carcass and tenderers are invited to give option prices for future furnishing of expansion.

Site: The church shall be built on a site close to the old church in the centre of Ålgård. The site adjoins the cemetery. The excavation work is planned to start up in the summer of 2013, with completion of the church building during 2014. Norconsult is engaged as construction manager. The works are expected to be executed as enterprises controlled by construction manager.

Expected contract divisions (i.e. approx. 15 contracts):

1. ground works.

2. outdoor facilities.

3. concrete and steel works.

4. laminated wood works (including prefabricated provider engineering design).

5. carpentry works, facade/ skylight, tinsmith works, internal tiling works.

6. roofing.

7. painting and floor/wall covering.

8. sanitary installations, water-borne heating/heat pump.

9. ventilation works.

10. electrical installation works-power current, lighting, electrical installation works-low current.

11. automation system, central operational control system.

12. sound system.

13. stage lighting system.

14. furniture in the church room.

15. lift.

Concrete and steel works:

The main structure of the building is made of concrete. This includes mainly reinforced, in situ structures (foundations, floors on ground, walls, joists and floors in the ground floor). The cover over the expansion of the basement is planned as in situ post-tensioned structure.

Some sections of the structure are planned as a steel structure (cantilever roof above the main entrance, bell tower, some columns in the ground floor). Rigidity to the building's ground floor is a created by a heavy laminated structure which is in the form of a rigid disc.

During the construction period, a temporary structure will be required. This temporary structure shall support the large concrete walls in the ground floor until the laminated structures are in place. It is suggested that sheet scaffolding shall be used as joint scaffolding in the church room. It is probable that rig and operation are included in the contract to the concrete contractor.

The scaffolding shall also be used as supporting scaffolding to the concrete walls and for internal wall works (wall scaffolding) as well as internal roof works (sheet scaffolding). The concrete contractor is the main contractor in phases of the construction period.
