>that estimate indicated that the concrete damage observed would begin to multiply exponentially over the years, and indeed the observable damage such as in the garagehas gotten significantly worse since the initial inspection.When you can visually see the concrete spalling (cracking), that means that the rebar holding it together is rusting and deteriorating beneath the surface.Please note that the original scope ofwork inthe 2018 report has expanded. The concrete deterioration is accelerating. The roof situation got much worse, so extensive roof repairs had to be incorporated.

>Because so muchof the needed concrete/waterproofingwork is underground, we must pull up almost the entire ground level of the lot to access the areas that requirerepair. That means we have to put itall backat the end. This includes the pool deck, the entire entrydriveand ground level parking,north side contractor parking,and planters/landscaping. Electrical work and plumbingare involved almost everywhere. Balcony concreterequires repair/waterproofing,and the railingsrequire repair. And-we have to bring all this up to current codewhen repairs are completed.
