Another Encouraging Meeting

We had another encouraging meeting with the design build team this week. We reviewed the drawings reflecting proposed changes for accomplishing our phase 1 goals within our current budget constraints. One concession we have made is to eliminate raising of the roof in the auditorium. But we are pleased that we have gained a slightly larger auditorium and a larger stage which will greatly increase the functionality of the space. The team has identified alternative ways of constructing the stairs that will not only decrease our costs but will also lessen disruption for our first floor tenant. Overall we are very happy with the proposed design changes because we believe they will fit within our budget and still give us the functionality we need! The team is aiming to finalize all the modified drawings (floor plans, structural, and mechanical) by the end of the month. If all goes well we will sign a contract very shortly. Check out Kascon our general contractor and Waldon Studios our architect.
