Each of the plans were then given to the following 2 contractors for the purpose of eliciting estimates, David Gray Construction, and Millennium Builders. The lowest bidder was David Gray Construction, consequently this firm began construction on July 15.
Present Status
Phase three includes initial construction processes. We have completed the following steps as of November 9:
• Demolition of existing building at 11485 NW 27 Avenue
• Excavation of foundation footings for the building and for the surrounding wall

• Pouring of concrete foundation

In addition excavation of the footings required more time then the contractor anticipated because the 18 inch footings were all below grade.
Future Schedule
In spite of the fact that we lost time in Phase 3 we are substantially on target for the completion of this office building by March 1. Phase 4 include the following activities, framing drywalling and installation of
