I think the transition and roll out of new ldc is more challenging than anticipated.. I just finished the last Rbc project.. The amount of future projects are starting to pile up .. In our area they are scrambling... Too much work and not enough qualified full time servants..we might have to do a hybrid system of ldc/ Rbc we shall see...:)

Zeph 3:17 Jehovah your God is in the midst of you. As a mighty One, he will save. He will exult over you with rejoicing. He will become silent in his love. He will be joyful over you with happy cries....... Love it....a beautiful word picture.

Just talked with a brother on LDC .. They are seriously looking at AAC. Autoclaved Aerated Concrete for above grade walls ...

I noticed on YouTube that they can put up a sizeable building in 1 day with 3 guys and a crane on above grade slab..

8" walls rated at R20 .. Soundproof.. Termite proof.. Inert ...able to cut with a hand saw or bandsaw

You can stucco the outside or strap it and put a rain screen and siding .. Inside I imagine they will steel stud the walls ..

Since it is dimensional material all that is needed is a special thinset as a mortar/ glue for any seams ...

Interesting stuff

Presumptuousness is not a trait valued among Jehovah's servants. :(

So just a quick update I had the privilege of working on the first LDC kingdom hall in the United States it's in West Palm Beach Florida it's a double kingdom hall two separate buildings

first new construction we've already had visitors from the palm coast which overseeing this zone and we even had some visitors from Patterson who are overseeing LDC they were really excited they're looking for the pattern that we set to be replicated over many many New kingdom halls

There has been 2 building started since then one in Texas And one in New Jersey

It's a unique design many of us have seen pictures or artist rendition but was fun to be working on the actual project we've dug the footers poured them laid the lower part of the block wall backfilled poured the full floor and created the block walls we've also done all the undergroundwork such as plumbing electric sewer some site work and some in the parking lot still got a bit to go but I'm having a blast we were also requested any pictures we take not to post on the Internetnot to email them or post them on any form of social media

sounds like the branch would like to be the ones dispensing this info to all the friends worldwide at the same time

We have four couples signed by the branch who are working there on a daily basis with their new schedule Tuesday through Saturday work week

It really is nice to see the new construction going up at a quick pace with even a small crew

may Jehovah bless all the new construction

It's two buildings with one lobby, or two different lobbies? Does it has auxiliary auditoriums?

My son's congregation is one getting the new LDC design KH in North Jersey.    As you said all of the outside work is being done first.    

Funny, but he told me last fall when they started clearing the land they were the 1st ones in US to build the new design and that the LDC workers were already in their apartment in the area.   They are building the mediun size hall.       But now I have burst his bubble and tell him ...  nope .... they are not the first ones.

 

Isn't  it wonderful to be apart of such an organization where our brothers and sisters enjoying working so hard for Jehovah!   Thank you Bro Darin.

LDC is still assisting in many changes and refurbished and remodels that were already scheduled or started

Especially as the local RBC groups are being 'dissolved'

Some of the remodels are getting to include a newer design feature...ie literature display

This just happens to be the first new construction

And 2 others were started shortly afterward

These are separate building on same lot ....facing each other....driveway in between

The brothers were asked to track how many people and how many man hours are required for each task

So back to the idea of a commercial project.....each part and phase is planned and hours are accounted for and better project management usually means a faster streamlined construction project

Brother Darin, thank you for your recent posts. Will the no posting of photos at newer LDC projects applies to the newer design or if it was mentioned they will be applied to all LDC projects into the foreseeable future? Thanks.

The project we were on is an LDC directed project ..... however, the rough-in was already in the ground and the slab poured when LDC took charge of the build. They did say that, had the slab not been poured, they would have probably re-dug the rough-in and built the new design.

 

There was NO mention of any prohibition about pictures - even when one of the LDC brothers was standing right next to me when someone snapped one.

Thanks Brother Darin. I guess it's on a case by case basis? Perhaps?

If you meet a brother in Transportation named Chris that looks like Jesus on the RC drama video, tell him I said hello.

A sister in my mother's car group this morning said there was some major announcement today at Morning Worship about branch or Kingdom Hall construction projects.  Has anyone heard anything?

 

Does the sister in your mother's car group have access to the current Morning Worship or was she referring to an older MW?
