Directors made several inquiries regarding the budget and changes in the scope of
work, for example, a decrease in square footage as basements turned into crawl
spaces. Directors also inquired if any special requirements are needed with permits or
contracts that would interfere with construction.
Warren Jones, Travaux’s Vice President of Construction, and Kevin Theissen,
Travaux’s Senior Project Manager, answered that there are contingencies in place if
any further adjustments need to be made to the project, however the contract is under
budget and they do not foresee that the budget changes will affect the overall goals
and the completion of construction.
