Therefore, we would like to recommend people of AA, AB, Rosaco, and TK to not circulate and move materials through this area and use instead the escave staircase (close to the swimming pool). As a matter of fact we have completed all wall emulsion paint at the staircase area and have made touch-up painting work many times due to various impacts on walls by other contractors people while they ‘were moving equipment and materials though these areas. So please have actions with other contractors to allow us to not be disturbed anymore by other people to achieve our works Many thanks, and Best regards, 3.

After study and intemal discussion, we have the following recommendations - We will rather have a water-body in front of the ancestors worship building, - The need of a bridge or large culvert for access to the worksite. = The worship building-complex should be located on high-level ground to create an imposing expression. - The dining and service areas should be located behind the main worship-building, not on a horizontal line with it. = Reduce the water-body area.
