Construction Report: June, 2001 By Kacey Callinan, Assistant Project Manager With temperatures starting to hit the early summer 100-degree mark day after day, we’re building up quite a sweat as we motor through the construction schedule with our focus set squarely on the completion of the Sales Office and Model lofts. As you’ve probably seen from Las Juntas Way, our first loft building is already framed all the way up to the roof trusses and – WOW! – talk about GREAT spaces! I’ve walked each floor, from the garages through to the living and working spaces, right up to the bedrooms and bathrooms, and can now really appreciate just how dramatic the spaces are going to be! My inside scoop - the 11’0 high living spaces are just incredible! Back
down underground, those utilities that we had hoped to
complete by the end of May were unfortunately delayed as our
construction teams worked through some unforeseen logistics.
Nonetheless, our Construction Superintendent successfully
resolved the issues and re-scheduled the field teams to
start their “joint trench”, which is now nearly half way
through the site. At the same time, of course, we had some
unexpected co-ordination issues with another utility’s
temporary cables that span our property. Fortunately, all
parties are working together in a speedy manner so we hope
to progress forward without delay. I can also report that
our two little oak trees that we agreed to preserve were
successfully relocated to their new site locations. Also
above ground, the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP)
‘rough-ins’ have started in our Sales Office and Model
lofts, and the pouring of foundations are keeping track of
schedule with Buildings III, IV, VI and VII now complete,
and the foundation trenches for Buildings V and II also now
ready for the concrete. This means framing Building VII is
just about to start, which is the biggest of the eight
buildings with eleven of the townhouse lofts. This will be
quite a dramatic change to the site as the massing of the
buildings starts to take shape – I’ll have my work cut
out for me no doubt! What's to Come in June
That’s it for this month’s update.
