REPORT OF THE NEW CLUBHOUSE COMMITTEE

We could not be more excited as we put in place all the final necessary pieces to complete the new and beautiful clubhouse our community is looking forward to enjoying. The building will be the result of an enormous effort by a committee of dedicated residents, management, a team of skilled professionals and the creative efforts of our architects. The process has included a careful review of each detail of the building to ensure that the construction drawings are complete, thorough and accurate. This has enabled us to have confidence in the bidding process undertaken by our carefully selected general contractor, the quality of the subcontractors that will be responsible for the implementation of the major components of the building and the beauty and efficiency of the building. We have now received all required permits and approvals from Palm Beach Gardens, the local fire department, and utilities. This will allow us to move forward in accordance with our schedule without any approval delays. We are all aware of the impact of continued inflation and supply chain issues in building materials, labor, insurance, and other pieces of the project. These issues are particularly acute in South Florida and have had a significant effect on the price of the project. But we are confident that our team, including our professionals, management, and the Construction Committee, will maintain a careful focus on costs. The oversight and monitoring of the process from this point to completion is a responsibility which we have addressed and are taking very seriously. The entire team will be involved, including our owner’s representative, the Construction Committee, management, and an auditing firm requested by our lender. This will involve tracking progress and compliance with a preestablished timetable, attendance at scheduled construction meetings (as necessary), monitoring that will ensure payment only for verified status of completion, review and approval of change orders and regular and frequent progress reporting to the board and to the community. Everyone that has participated in the project is extremely proud of the building and the site plan that has been designed, and we are confident that the residents of Frenchman’s will share our feelings as the construction proceeds and will enjoy this beautiful new centerpiece of our community at the completion of the project, which is targeted for the summer of 2025.

Best, Harvey Schulweis, Chair
