Doors and windows!

The condo is progressing well folks. All four floors are pretty much up with the roof being completed now from the looks of it. Also, the doors and windows are going in! They look nice and well put together from the distance. Take a look at the photos. Remember you can see the pictures larger if you want by clicking on them. I didn't have the Nikon for these so they are from my phone and thus not quite as good.


Also, I am hearing that the decor center has opened and bookings are starting for those on the first floor. Exciting!

Work continues on

We were over at the site on the 4th and took this picture. The top floor is really coming along and becoming complete. Soon they will be working on the interior.

Hopefully we will start hearing color and design appointments being made. Any time now<S>

I will get some updated pictures this weekend some time. If you hear from the builder about appointments please let me know so I can update the page.

4th floor rises

The site is really starting to look like a building now with 3 floors done everywhere and 4 floors done on most of the building.

We also hear that color selections will start mid-August with the first floor. Whoohoo!

Latest Changes

While it still seems difficult to get information from the builder on the delay, construction continues.

This is the view facing south-west (so my new condo will be on the left side corner another two stories up<S>) Sutton drive is on the left.

We look forward to moving in whenever that will be. Will keep you posted on info we get.

Owners

If you find this blog useful, please sign up and check in regularly.

As more owners become part of the blog the builder will be a little more willing and quicker to share information with us through this blog. The builder is definately onside with it, but numbers count.

thanks

NEWS! Haven delayed

Not sure what is going on folks, but I am sure you have gotten your delay letter by now. Current date is June 2013. So far, only reason we have is "something to do with permits"

I will keep you posted.

In other news, it sure seems like the building is progressing realy well. See the latest picture below taken on the 11th June. Those who bought on the Upper Middle side of the building can see their unit's shell in place already.

Building materials

Bernie posted a comment query after seeing my latest pictures on the building materials being wood rather than concrete and wondered why. When I talked to the builders intially, they told me that building bylaws in Burlington allow the use of wood for buildings under 5 stories, so our building being only 4 stories lets the builder use wood rather than concrete.
In my opinion, I am guessing that it is far cheaper to build using wood frame than concrete hence their decision. Personally, I would prefer concrete as I find it is a better sound proofing that what will occur with a wood frame. That said, when I expressed this concern to the builder they indicated they would be ensuring sound quality. I guess we will see.
