Cost of Construction:

Comments:
This project was started by someone else without a permit. I was brought in by the investors to take over the project after they go rid of the former owner who did the work without a permit. They replaced the roof and the windows, renovated the lobby and did demo in the rooms. We are now getting the proper permits and approvals so we can finish the project
