According to Howard Samaroo, Chief Building Engineer at the Ministry of Public Works (MPW), the construction will cost in excess of $10M with the contractor, Andre Howard Construction Service, in full swing with the works.
The one -storey building is expected to be completed in April, the Ministry said yesterday.
On April, 13, last year, an American registered aircraft, a twin-engine Piper Aztec with registration number N27-FT, was on a technical survey mission for the Amaila Falls Access Roads when it slammed into Tyndall’s residence at Plaisance.
The plane had just taken off from the Ogle Airport when it crashed.
Tyndall escaped injuries because she was at the back of the house preparing for church. The plane landed on the front of the building.
The two individuals on board the aircraft perished.
In July last year, Government approved plans to rebuild the home and compensate others affected in the incident.
In a previous statement, Zulficar Mohamed, Director of Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), had said that in addition to Tyndall’s home, her neighbour, Michelle Belle, whose house was scorched, was also to be compensated.
He said that Belle was provided with a newly furnished two-bedroom house in Providence. She has already moved into her new property.
