Monthly Progress Meeting 8th September 2009

Jonathan and I have spent the last two weeks back in Cyprus as everyone gets back to work after the August holidays. The monthly progress meeting with the contractors and consultants on 8th September showed that, despite the 3-week shutdown, construction is still racing on. The screed is going down in Blocks B, C, D & E now that the electrics and plumbing is all completed. Blocks F and G are at plastering stage and A & H are catching up on the schedule. The outside pool areas are shaping up well now that the roof of the basement is being cast. The individual roof gardens of the penthouse apartments are now in place and the barbecues, food preparation and storage facilities are being built.

The hydrotherapy pool in the basement has been cast and we’re working with the interior designer on the finishes for the pool and Spa areas as well as the main reception building, roof top bar and dance studio. The new 3D images of the Spa are shaping up nicely and will be posted here on the blog as soon as they are ready.

Jonathan has been hard at work all through August (no holiday for him!) finalising the selections for the interior fittings. Every client has received a pack showing the choice of kitchens, wardrobes and doors for personalising the properties and the second pack showing the choice of ceramic tiles and granite will be issued early next week. The four sample apartments are on track to be ready at the beginning of next month.

With the basement roof closing up it’s time to look again at the landscaping plans and we are on site with the landscaping designers later this week to check that the planting plan still looks good now that we can see the levels for real. The gardens are a key element of the scheme and will create shade, colour and scent all year round. To allow the plants time to establish, we will begin the planting as soon as the ground floor level is finished.
