Hi all
after reading the entry about layout problems I e mailed the developer. This is the reply I got.
I would like to explain the issue of different layout problem (which I can't deny)
We had a huge delay for like 3 month last year and we had to push work to decrease the time and we had to divide the project to zones.
Near handover I found out some units are sold with attached layouts that not as we are executing ( that only in units 110/120 m2) with the option to have it 2 or 3 bedrooms), I admit I refuse to demolish the finished apartments( was 2 cases) specially new clients liked the model we execute and they order it , I was under the impression the owners would appreciate the new layout.
the owner of one unit of them refused the new layout and insist to have the one she signed. I had to demolish and rectify this as she requested -I also did the other one since I couldn't wait no longer
as you see I was in a tight spot since I was not sure of what the clients requested ( 2 bedrooms -3 bedrooms one side- 3 bedrooms 2 in one side and the other third room in other part ) and more over some clients like the bathrooms in the middle -some like them in the side (instead of the kitchen space) . to be honest I had this problems only in the big apartments -had no problem in the small one since it is only one configuration.
At this time I had to stop working on those big apartment to ask confirmation on each apartment to change the layout before I can go ahead again- that caused a delay but I was forced to do this instead of driving in circles.
your trip would help us a lot or I can email you with the layout to see for your self.
We are going out there on 21st may for 17 nights so hopefully we can sort out any possible issues then.
Alison is obtaining the PoA in Egypt as easy as you make it sound? I've been trying to get a Notary Public local to where we live in Yorkshire but not having a lot of success. If it's as easy as it sounds in Egypt, and possibly cheaper I might just go with that option. I've been in touch with Zeiad and hopefully he will act on our behalf.
If we decide to go down this route could you provide us with contact details for Allison the taxi driver.
Thanks
Jeff
