Re-Piping What To Expect
December 3, 2011 by Howard Olsen
UPDATE:
————————————————————————————————————————————–
Each unit is about a 15 – 17 day process, which includes repiping and drywall repairs, some days may take a day; other days may be an hour for drywall repairs etc. ( one coat at a time) There will always be water in the unit at the end of the day.
There will be a 2 week notice, no one needs to move out.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
We’ve been receiving some excellent questions so let me address the most common ones here:
First of all, the notice we all received about key collection is a bit misleading as it could have us believe that work will begin as soon as the keys are collected. I can assure you that’s not the case. We’re asking for keys now so that we can mitigate glitches and delays in January. As you can imagine, coordinating residents from 176 units will be a big enough challenge in itself, so we’re starting now. We know that there will be some non resident owners and others that we will need to “Chase Down” to get their keys. By begining the collect process now, we will have time to identify and track down the less than cooperative owners before work begins.
With respect to the information meeting, yes that that will happen in January but there can be no meaningful info meeting without a schedule and the schedule has not yet been produced. Thus far Brighter, has done an initial inspection so as to have enough information to quote, but they don’t have enough information to put forth a schedule. When we say “Work Begins” that includes the initial set up and assessment. In January, Brighter Mechanical will be onsite to establish their site office (Likely in Duo Guest Parking) and then they will perform a full site survey to assess the buildings / units so as to determine the full and actual scope of work. Once that has been completed the schedule will be produced and the info meeting will be held to get us all on the same page.
While we don’t have a schedule yet here’s what we anticipate: Each unit should be approximately a day’s job. No one should be displaced as a result of the work. Of course if we don’t have access to the units that will cause delays, which is why we’re beginning to collect keys now. We want to mitigate any chance of delay. Here’s what else we expect. Solo and Duo were re-carpeted 3 years ago and this year is Treo’s turn, so we have put in a request to Brighter that when scheduling the work, to begin with Treo so that it will be the first to complete and then we can do the carpet job over there.
Further updates will follow but we won’t have anything more concrete until after the Christmas Season.

Hello,
I am a resident of Solo, and I wasn’t able to make it to the key collection time on Monday – to whom should I give my unit key, and how should I do this?
Thanks a lot!
