Hi everybody,
Following my email below, (sent after our last BC meeting last week) I have further information to add.
We had our last site visit of the year last Friday (seems like ages ago!!) We discussed the current work being done around the site (site works) and highlighted a few things that have not been decided and/or included in the main contract and/or budget. We identified things that need to be done as they are essential for final inspection and others that are important to receive a tidy site that will enable us to work on our landscape, etc. (when we move it).
A quick reminder that we have allocated some money in our budget to buy some landscape materials.
When we move in, we will still have a lot of work to do around the site (bike shed, landscape, etc.); we can work on this over the coming year; but the main paths (central area) and green area will be well defined. We also identified areas that needed to be finalised around the common house.
One of the things highlighted was that the builders will need to bring in more soil than expected to achieve the levels required. They will also include the timber edging around the central green area (between grass and paths), which is a lot of lineal metres of material and labour.
We have instructed them to use our existing sleepers for some of the steps and for boxing some of the concrete needed in some areas.
The cost of this variation is not known at this stage but it was suggested that it can be close to 100K which will have to come from contingency.
So if we review the numbers below, we still have some contingency left at the end. Depending on how much this is AND when we can settle, we still might have some money available that will enable us to finalise the kitchen and bike shed.
The Budget Control will report to the group with further information at the end of January.
Last email of the year... We'll be back for our first meeting - mid January.
*Happy holiday everybody!!* *See you all next year. *
*Best wishes to you all :)*
Maria

Hi Maria Dont forget when discussing landscaping that there are four long poles from the playground fort, some, if not all, stored on our section. I’m guessing they could be useful in building up the vege garden area. We also hope to discuss cooperation on landscaping the margin between our properties along the driveway. Cheers Rosemarie
