Dock and Punch Update

09/01/2011

Six docks have been installed along with the associated lift piles.  Piles have to be cut off and capped, and the decking has to be trimmed on 3 of the docks.  The floating common dock has been delivered to the vacant lot and assembled.  It will be floated over to the job site this week.  8 out of the 16 dock boxes have been installed.  8 water lines, hose bibs and hose holders have been installed on 4 docks.  There will be 9 more to be installed in the coming weeks.  It's looking like the docks will finish on schedule in 3 weeks.  Remaining punch work on the houses is minimal.  All have been inspected, addressed, and will be reinspected next week.

Punch Work Ongoing

08/12/2011

Punch work continues on all 12 houses.  Initial review has been completed and will be reinspected after the punch work is finished.  This means we are addressing minor issues that are typical during construction, will be completed in August.  The additional landscaping that was ordered has been delivered and installed.  This consisted of more trees along Gulf Shore Blvd. and in the backyards of those 6 homes abutting the street.  Construction continues on the docks, as the 4 south finger docks have been installed.  Work has shifted to the north 4 finger docks where Garland has begun to drive piles into the seabed.  Dock construction should conclude in about a months' time.  Accessories have been finished in our 2nd model, Villa Napoli.  This included beams in the kitchen ceiling, an office desk, wall-to-wall mirror and light fixtures in master bathroom, and a TV mounted on the fireplace stone in the living room.

 

August 2011 Update

07/29/2011

Garland will be finished on the South dock piles today.  All together, 56 piles were installed in Hurricane Harbor for the 4 South-end finger docks.  The planks will begin to be installed next week.  Overall, the docks remain on schedule to be finished mid-September 2011.  Throughout the community, BCB has begun punch out work on all the homes.  This will be an ongoing matter and be finished in August.  After review, additional landscaping has been ordered to provide even more privacy along Gulf Shore Blvd.  This should be completed in the next two weeks.  Certificates of Occupancy have been issued for both model homes, meaning future homeowners could move in immediately!  In addition, the model homes have received FGBC Green Home Certification.  Please feel free to visit the community - drive and park on site, explore the model homes and shells to gain the full luxury lifestyle Casamore offers.  

Construction Finished

07/18/2011

The Villa Napoli model has been furnished and is open to daily viewing along with the Casa Bella Vita model.  Construction on the development is now completed!  All 12 houses can be accessed with our realtor team.  Visitors can now drive into the community and park. We offer 2 fully furnished models, 1 designer ready model, and 9 shells.  Site landscaping has also been finished.  Garland and Garland began construction on the docks last week.  It is estimated that it will take 60 days to complete 8 finger docks, creating 16 boat slips and a common floating dock.  The entranceway water fountains are now operational.   

Villa Napoli to open this weekend!

06/27/2011

In Model 5B, hardwood floors, carpet, countertops, elevator, light fixtures have been installed.  Appliances will be delivered and installed tomorrow.  Interior railings are going in today.  Plumbing is ongoing and will be finished Tuesday.  Furniture is scheduled to be delivered June 28th.  Around the site, all backyards have been completed.  Landscaping along Gulf Shore Blvd. is done.  The water fountains are filled and will be operational this week.  All 12 homes are now open to the public.  The 2nd model home, Villa Napoli, will be hosting open house events this weekend July 2-3.  Construction on the docks will begin after the holiday weekend.  

 

Goodbye Construction Fence!

06/03/2011

On Thursday, the construction fence was removed from the Casamore job site, marking the first time there are unhindered views from Gulf Shore Blvd. since piling began in March 2010.  A sidewalk has been constructed in front of the property for the public.  In the backyards of houses abutting the street, planting, mulching, and the installation of pool fences continues.  This will ensure maximum privacy and noise reduction.  The install of pavers in the entranceway and inside the community has been completed.  Street lighting and electrical work are nearly completed.  In Model 5B, shower tiling and balcony tiling are ongoing and will be finished next week.  Wood flooring will be installed starting Tuesday of next week as well.  The majority of materials have been delivered to the site, which means furniture install is scheduled between June 23rd and 27th.  This would put the model on schedule to be ready for the busy 4th of July weekend.  Dock construction is still scheduled to begin June 27th, maybe sooner. 

 

Construction Update

05/27/2011

Due to a delay of materials delivered, Model 5B is looking at a more realistic finish date of June 27, 2011.  The interiors have been painted, all cabinetry and the living room built-in have been installed, and the bathroom shower tiling is ongoing.  Next week the flooring will be prepped for installation, exterior balconies will be tiled and exterior railings will be installed.  Another delay that was not forecasted is the dock construction.  Garland & Garland will now begin the last week in June 2011 and it will last between 45 and 60 days.  Around the site, the pavers in the entranceway are nearly finished, which would complete that aspect of the project.  The water fountains in the entranceway are and will be under construction for the next 2 weeks.  Landscaping is also near completion, with minor planting and mulching to continue along Gulf Shore Blvd.  Punch-out on landscaping should last thru mid-June.  The installation of exterior railings and pool fencing will continue for at least 2 more weeks.  Rooftop deck spiral staircases have been installed on Houses 11 and 12.  The site wall has been completed.  All of the shell homes have been finished and are now in the punch-out phase as well.  This process is expected to continue into June.
