Q & A

HAS A DECORATOR FOR THIS PROJECT BEEN SELECTED? Decorators Unlimited has been engaged to prepare conceptual plans for the designs to decorate the Clubhouse. Their contract terminates on April 17th. Currently, a Committee, headed by Ethel Schultz, is visiting other clubs that have recently been renovated. The Committee has been and will continue to interview the decorators that completed these projects. The Committee will make a recommendation to the Board and the Board will make the final selection. MANY OTHER PAST PROJECTS HAVE BEEN DONE AND CORRECTED MORE THAN ONCE. HOW CAN YOU ASSURE US THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN? We put together a professional team to make sure we knew the parameters of the project: 1. We hired an Owner’s Representative who has been with us since the beginning of the project. 2. We brought in a land planner who is very knowledgeable with the criteria for building in Palm Beach Gardens. 3. We will have a Construction Auditor who will be with us from contract negotiation through final payments. Our professionals have done the forensic work on the building looking at the infrastructure for deficiencies and our main systems like air quality, mechanical, HVAC, wiring, plumbing, drainage, air conditioners, and roof (the entire building) water seepage. There are hundreds of other minor items that were also reviewed. We have exhausted every pricing scenario to ensure we are as accurate as possible with our estimates. We have all the documentation of the construction project from bidders and sub- contractors. We listened to the Community and brought in other major contractors who reaffirmed our pricing.
