Scope Of Work
When Reconstruction Experts first met the client in 2017, the property was quite literally underwater. Water was pouring to the residents’ homes, uncovering more issues with every discovery made. Once emergency work was complete, Reconstruction Experts broke the remaining work to fully restore the property into four further projects, with three currently underway and full project completion expected in early 2021.
The Challenge
When Reconstruction Experts first met the client in 2017, the property was quite literally underwater. Water was pouring to the residents’ homes, uncovering more issues with every discovery made, so a defect attorney was hired to represent them in a construction defect lawsuit.
In the winter of that year, the commercial space below the residential property, a popular, highly trafficked grocery store, was reporting multiple leaks coming from the ceiling and efforts to pinpoint the key issues ramped up. After inspection, it was identified that the pool piping, located directly above the grocery store, was faulty and leaking. The pool was immediately drained due to the engineers reporting that there could be a catastrophic loss with the pipes allowing thousands of tons of water to pour into the grocery store.
Final Result
The final plan to repair the pool saved the HOA $500k from the original proposed plan, as well as eliminated the need to access the grocery store. Once that emergency work was complete, Reconstruction Experts broke the remaining work to fully restore the property into four further projects, with three currently underway and full project completion expected in early 2021, giving residents the ability to Love Your Place AgainTM.
