Pre Construction Meeting & Start Date

Had a 2-hour preconstruction meeting with Casaview’s General Manager yesterday where he went through every page of the plan explaining details which are beyond a commoner’s knowledge and understanding. He further discussed the variations making sure everything was accounted for and as requested and then the finer details of every standard and upgraded fixtures and fitting. They do these meetings to ensure that the client, Casaview and its contractors are reading from the same document.
 
The GM’s understanding of our project was just amazing and seemed like he had already built the house to muster so much knowledge. What impressed me most is their attention to details and some of the structural changes they have introduced to mitigate factors like natural expansion and contraction of steel/wood beams and its effect on things like ceilings. The GM informed me that those mitigation factors have been introduced by Casaview after evaluating a number of houses they built. And that they want their houses to be structurally solid and not just superficially beautiful.

There was a minor last minute change and their in-house architect corrected and revised the plan as we were meeting. Thanks Casaview for meeting me at a time convenient to me and also for reaffirming my confidence in you as a builder. Truly impressive!

We have been given a start and finish date for the construction but ofcourse this depends on mother nature.
