1. BACKGROUND OF THE HOSTING COMPANY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Considering the current status our country in this time utilization of human resource in an
effective and efficient way is one of the major issues that needed to bring sustainable
development in economy. Taking in to account Wollo University enabled the students to conduct
internship program. Based on curriculum, we were doing internship for four months. The
internship program was carried out at Amhara building construction works enterprise. Under this
company the project in Dessie Referral Hospital Diagnostic Center Project.

An internship is a great way to develop specific skills and knowledge, as well as make contacts
with others. Engineering is central to understand the challenges faced and the solution in the
world. To respond engineers require understanding the problems facing the society and built up
on existing resource. The knowledge and ability of these engineers is more depend on the
theoretical methods of teaching in universities but the responsibility of engineer is to solve
practical problems.

This internship provides a more accurate picture of what individuals do in a certain profession.
The main purpose of qualified internship system is to come up with gained practical as well as
organization working system and process in the industry and transferred the theoretical
knowledge to industry. Under the guidance, all interns apply the skills and theories learned in the
class to real world issues. Internship consists of an exchange of services for experience between
the interns and hosting company. We have been participating there both in site and office works.

1.2 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

Since 2006 GC, the Amhara national regional state has been implementing a government-led
low- and middle-income housing program.  The establishment of the then known as the Amhara
national regional state’s housing development project office had to do with it.  The program had

G+4 dessie diagnostic hospital building project Internship report Page 6

WOLLO UNIVERSITY INTERNSHIP REPORT
2013EC

had a mission to alleviate the housing problem in the region. The ANRS Housing development
project office was assigned to coordinate the low-cost condominium projects, which were
initially implemented in 8 major cities of the region. The number of the beneficiary cities has
reached from 8 to 12 in two years of period.

In the period of 2006 – 2012 GC, the ANRS project office had, successfully, completed over 836
Condominiums ranging from G+2 to G+4. These Condominiums has enabled to alleviate the
housing problems of 20093(twenty thousand ninety-three) people. Moreover, it was used as a
means of modernizing cities and the life style of their dwellers. 

Nationwide, the Agency was able to be the best compared with the peer organizations. For four
consecutive years, the Agency has got the Award of the Ministry of construction and urban
development for its top placed ranking. This outstanding accomplishment had been awarded by
the regional government by enhancing its status from project office to Agency. The Agency was
named as the Amhara national regional state’s construction and housing development agency. 
The Agency, in its existing period of 3 years (2013-2015), could undertake several construction
and consultancy works, which made it the forerunner in the nationwide competition of the peer
companies. 

Astonishing Three years of Successes finished & delivered huge projects like Gondar city 6.5
kilo meter asphalt road construction, Kelela 42 kilo meter gravel road construction, Lalibela
Honey Museum complex building project, G+7 Kombolcha city Administration office building
project, Bahir dar, Gondar & D/Birhan 8 Industry shed projects and Our Head Office Quarter
G+7 & G+5 twin complex building project which is at finishing stage. ABWCE implemented
Kaizen management philosophy in 2017 and awarded winner 1st class in implementing first
stage Kaizen in construction industry whole Ethiopia.  

Whereas it has found necessary to cause regional enterprises to have a strengthened organization,
by having liberated from protracted endeavors & overlapping activities, through bringing about
& combining their capacities and due to this fact, to create a significant value by reduction of
their administrative cost so that their market competitiveness would be enhanced thereof;

G+4 dessie diagnostic hospital building project Internship report Page 7

WOLLO UNIVERSITY INTERNSHIP REPORT
2013EC

Now Therefore, Amhara building works construction enterprise Amahara Urban development &
construction Share Company established by the existing Meanwhile in July 2018 the council of
the Amhara regional government has passed a regulation bill no. 177/2018, which gave the legal
basis for the Re-establishment of the Amhara Building Works Construction Enterprise
(ABWCE). The company is established as a public enterprise of the regional government, having
an initial capital of 964,838,269.00 Birr (Nine hundred Sixty-Four million Eight hundred Thirty-
Eight thousand Two hundred Sixty-Nine Birr).

Over the years, we gained experience and expertise in the road & building construction,
cultivated professionalism and adaptability through the ever changing social and economic
conditions in the region as well as in the country. We draw our several years of construction
experience and expertise to be trustworthy and successful; for our vision is to be the first choice
in east Africa in 2025 GC, when it deals with building construction.

Based on the establishment proclamations, ABWCE has carried out building construction
projects in 3 major formats.

Format One

Those projects characterized by giving major aspects of the project to other building contractors.
Here the role of ABWCE is supervisory and consultancy service, ABWCE called those types of
projects “consulting work” projects.

Format Two

The same format as number one, in which giving major aspects of the project to other building
contractors, but supplies major building construction materials such as cement, reinforcement
bar, steel bars etc. Here the role of ABWCE is supervisory, consultancy and major fabricated
material supplier. ABWCE called this “sub contract projects”.

Format Three

G+4 dessie diagnostic hospital building project Internship report Page 8

WOLLO UNIVERSITY INTERNSHIP REPORT
2013EC

Here ABWCE is holding all aspects of the project. These types of projects are implemented by
designing organizational structure and establishing project office for each project based on the
contract amount. Those types of projects are named as “own force Projects”.

Our focus is therefore on format three construction projects; hence it is the only area we can have
organizational structure issues. Based on organizational structure document from ABWCE, other
than “consulting work” projects and “sub-contract” projects, “own force” projects are carried by
designing different sizes of organizational structures. ABWCE has given authority to formulate
the organizational structure of building construction project offices and put in to work.

Give attention to format three “Own Force” projects, there are three sizes of project
organizational structures based on the contract amount of the project. For the purpose of
simplicity, I can categorize the size of organizational structure as follows. (Amhara Building
Works Construction Enterprise: Organizational Structure Document)

PROJECT LARGE SIZE ……. With Contract Amount more than 200 million birr.

PROJECT MEDIUM SIZE……. With Contract Amount from 100 to 200 million birr.

PROJECT SMALL SIZE ……... With Contract Amount Up to 100 million birr.

ABWCEs’ 2012 budget year Annual report shows there are a total of 42 “own force” projects.
From these ten 10 projects is road construction and 32 building construction at different location.
