Building progress – August 20th

Although I drive by the construction site every day on my way to and from work, I haven’t had a chance in the last couple of weeks to go on-site and see how things were going; until today… basically they are going great!

Building the blockwork for the walls was always going to be the part of the build that shows the most dramatic results in a fairly short time, but even so it’s impressive how things have come on in the last couple of weeks…As you will see from the video, we are now up to first floor level, with the upper floor’s walls complete, and the guys making preparations for the roof. The roof materials are on-island and it seems that work on the roof is likely to start next week. The windows are also here in Turks & Caicos so those will be available when needed, no delays there.

The only slight issue so far has been the design of the staircase to the first level – it needed some revision and is now going to be a curved design rather than the conventional flight of steps, landing, flight of steps arrangement. I think it’s going to look cool…

Anyway here is the video I shot this morning showing the building as it is today:
