1.) I can’t find a difference in Warranty by the manufacturer for .55 and .4 roofing iron? It seems to be 30 years against rust and 18 years for the paint. If there is no or little difference, we should certainly change to .4mm thickness at a cost saving of $10.000. Normally houses are covered in .4 mm (as is also quoted for for the common house). 

2.) I am in favour to reroof the common house (53k less 10k) at $43.000). 

However I would like to share a thought. We are still in the beginning of our build and are spending our contingency freely. My thought is to not reroof the area directly above the dinning area at this stage. It’s about 100 m2 of uninterrupted roofing very separate to the rest of the roof (sloping from the apex west). We would like some extra natural light, and including skylights or the like would also involve working on the ceiling below (boxing in etc). There would be extra costs. 

If we don’t reroof this part of the roof, we may save another $8.000 (that would bring the reroof down to $35.000), and we would have time to think about the best way of getting natural light into the dining area. We can than towards the end of the build, if funds allow, revisit the reroof incl daylight options for this part of the common house. 

I’m also ok to reroof all of it now, if that is the way the group wants to go.  However it may put pressure on making decisions about the daylight options (which would add extra costs).  

Happy meeting Rainer

Hi all, 

In preparation to our meeting tomorrow, please read the email below with information about cost to upgrade the roof of the common house (there is no indicative cost for providing extra natural light to our common area as we didn't ask for that yet). 

We'll probably have to make a decision at tomorrow's meeting so they can proceed asap.

Thanks, 

Maria
